Why RMT discussion must fail
—
$1 is not worth the same thing to every person. That might seem counterintutitive, but the value of $1 isn't absolute, by itself it is just a worthless piece of green paper. The value of that 1 dollar is determined by what you are going to buy with it. And that is pretty much depending on how ...

Comments ran from Keen’s call for more people to “join the anti-RMT/microtransaction initiative” to Andrew’s post on Of Teeth and Claws stating that this is “an example of RMT implemented correctly.” Darren thinks there is a simple answer, which runs along the lines of “if you buy the horse, you’re an idiot.” (The horse is a lie!)

notadiary.typepad.com 4/8/2009 — In playing Runes of Magic, the newest free-2-play MMO entry, I’ve never felt compelled or coerced into spending cash. I only count purchasing the mount as a “must purchase” item. I haven’t needed additional bag space. The other things I’ve purchased were for convenience, not necessity.
