Ahh the age old question, why trade billions for bytes?

And the answer? who knows, but i am guessing you have played eqlive before comming to the emu yes?? Did you not wish you could own alot of the items auctioned in the bazzar/market channel?

People are drawn to power (be it real power or power in a game) Buying platinum gives you that power (even more so on the FV server where nothing is no drop). A Person on FV named Shanana sells thousands of dollars in plat a day, now i have yet to see a single negetive response about her, but the point is he/she makes big bucks selling plat, and people will pay her outragous prices just to go right back and buy the gear she has for sale (mostly VT, Elemental, Time, and a few GoD) Since she is the only one with this kind of gear for sale she never loses the plat she sells... a scam perhaps? hmm well they are getting items in return for the plat, but still... hmm and with the prices on her items these are as was said in an earlier post, not simple small transactions, they are thousand dollar transactions...

I personally won't pay a dime for somthing that isn't material, i may spend money i don't have, but not on somthing that won't end up paying for itself in the end.

You can't do anything about the scammers out there, they exist and they have since the begging of time, everything from hawkers, to outlaws.. As it was once said...

Wherever there is water there will be mud.
