PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.

PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".

PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<

PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>

Most of you people are completely clueless. This is all based around the economics of time. In the real world as well as the virtual world, money = time. IGN isn’t selling gold, they’re selling you the time they spent collecting the gold. and Blizzard isn’t going to do anything, cause they’re earning lots of money from these guys farming.
__________________________________________________________
Unfortunately, this is exactly how they've been getting away with this stuff in all mmo's for so long - they claim they are charging you for the TIME spent collecting the gold, not the gold itself. Two things put the lie to this: The in-game advertisements stating in no uncertain terms you can buy gold, not "pay us to earn gold for you," and the fact that some people earn gold faster than others - so it should be sold in increments of time, not increments of gold if this claim is true.
