Here's my take on that. It's really just a matter of relativity, it's not all that crazy.

Money means different things to different people. I could be wrong but it's probably not a 34 year old that works for minimum wage at mcdonalds dropping 700 bones on a cloak of flames. I could see someone who maybe lives on the dole dropping that for an item for a game that they play 10 hours a day that makes them happy. That's honestly just kind of like buying a decent mattress. Pretty similar concept.

Then also you need to consider that the game we play is made up of mostly people who grew up and were 14-40 the first go around. Now they're 34-60. They don't have the time or energy that they used to, but they do have money. And money buys "time" in that sense. Because you don't need to farm for like two weeks full days to make enough money to buy a CoF if you've got kids and a job and a partner and stuff. You just can't do it. But you're still fiending for that nostalgia.

And also also, like, the game is made up of nerdy people. Nerdy people skew towards some pretty high end salary tech jobs. If I'm making 200k a year but want an EQ fix, my paychecks are 12k take home a month. 700 bucks for an item that will make me happier when I play for a few hours for a few months even though I'll MAYBE get banned down the road, and if that happens I'll just pivot to something else to get my joy from. (Speaking metaphorically, I sold money when I was a kid in original EQ but haven't done RMT since, cept maybe a few blizz tokens for convenient gold for tradeskill shit.)

I mean. Everything is just what you value it as.

$700 to one person is a life changer. $700 to another person is spare change. You could pay to house someone in a 1bedroom for a month in like Pittsburgh, or have once nice evening at a pricey restaurant.

Relativity, folks. It drives everrrrrything. That einstein guy knew what was up
get a load of this RMT sympathizer

700$ for pixels [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] sounds like some left his basement to steal mommy's credit card!

someone should open a server that starts at GoD and only stays at GoD and everyone starts at lvl 60 with basic PoP gear and 100 aas.
