Gaming especially MMORPG does not only appeal to the teenage market. In fact, most gamers out there are working professionals who enter this world of escapism.
Take World of Warcraft for example, the game economics has been designed in such a way that it would take some time to earn ample amount of in-game currency to progress. Aside from that, as one’s character increase in level, maintenance and repairs also gets to be more expensive. Most of these gamers are working professionals who don’t have the luxury of time to just sit and fish in one place in order to earn gold. If you have an hour or 2 to play, of course you’d also want to go to where the action is.
Let us say you have the weekend off, would you rather spend it mowing the lawn or having fun? Of course, if you have the extra $50 bucks, wouldn’t you like to hire your next-door neighbor’s kid to mow the lawn for you?
I guess there is no dilemma here when asked: “to buy wow gold or not to buy?”.
I know this kind of question would spark a debate regarding the legality of such transaction and I don’t want to get into that…
