Shoot them all i tell ya!! Anyone who makes a RL profit from a game is a lazy bum to me. Gold and item sellers have hurt this game more than you would understand. They are parasites that need to be cleared out they do nothing good for the game.
I take offense at that!
I'm a lazy bum and I Do Not make RL profit playing games.
I find the last line on there indicative of how clueless some of those in a position to fix things are.
"Fundamental -Player Interraction" .. what?!
Does anyone here actually believe that someone paying RL$ out of game and spending all of 5 seconds In Game trading the item/gold/whatever for it equates to any real form of Player Interraction?
On WoW you could tell who the farmers were, they didn't talk to you. (same as UO) They are paid to do exactly what they are doing, and stopping to chit chat (player interraction) is not going to provide them with job security.
If anything it is a major contributing factor to the downfall of interraction, as players find more and more others who are unsocial, they begin seeing the game in a similar light - and become less social themselves.
