Paying for physical cards was bad enough, but now they want people to pay for online items, in such a way that it's the first major online game with an entire power structure built around real world money? What?! No! Just.. no! I pay for games, but you don't see me sending money to Insomniac to buy Ratchet his guns!
There are a surprising number of modern entities more Machiavellian than Treasury Secretary Paulson, but this one deserves a special place in history. |

I had a friend who played the online MMORGP Silk Road. It was a free MMO that looked a lot like WoW
Anyways, he worked with me at a car detail shop so he was rarely ever home, and when he was he usually slept (because you detail 15 cars a day and tell me how you feel when you get home)
He had some hacks for Silk Road that would auto play his character while he was gone, but he wanted this one weapon that was going to come out (imagine the power of God put into a sword... This was that weapon)
He needed this sword, but he didn't have the gold.
Instead of doing what NORMAL gamers do, he decided to start spending his REAL money for FAKE gold. He would pay gold farmers his ENTIRE PAYCHECK to have enough gold for this super sword.
Well a few months later he got it and he augmented it to the point that it could slay down even the wildest of beasts... Except for a wild boar.
Thats right... This dude poured in seriously THOUSANDS of dollars into fake gold for this game to get this ultimate weapon that when he used it, it broke against the simplest of beasts.
He took his computer and (no joke) lobbed it out of the window. He has yet to touch one again.
Moral of the Story:
Don't Spend Money on things you can get for free...
And
If God Gives You Lemons then you FIND A NEW GOD O.O
Lol, either way, I thought this was an amusing story for someone that if they do pour money into a game, make sure that you will be enjoying the game for a long LONG time (thats why I agree with Magic and Pokemon lol) |

Ok ..
#1 - I have real friends. Anyone who thinks otherwise just don't watch youtube.
#2 - I play MTGO because I practice for tournaments. And if anyone knows ANYTHING about me is that I practice what I love likea fiend. So the only place I can practice whenever I want is online.
#3 - Paying for virtual cards - Um .. I've made more playing Magic than most people playing poker. Yeah, it cost some $$. But its an investment. I make it back easily when I play draft in real life or tournaments.
Magic is like cross between Chess and Poker. It like Phossker.
