No regrets there. You're far too generous. Your BLOW tabs were such a great present. Don't forget to drink your milk 👌	Posted by TheWretch on Aug 17, 2014, 12:33:25 AM Quote this Post
Yeah I do all the time. Thats why I have like ten legacy Kaom's and mirrors and shit. Spoiler Alright fine... I have like 50 chaos in perma HC. Being serious though, no I don't believe so. I've spent some money on stupid mobile games and stuff, but that isn't RMT, it is just MTXs and DLC. So no I guess.

The better question is: Would anyone who actually does RMT especially in this game admit it in a thread on a forum owned by GGG?	Posted by Deleted on Aug 17, 2014, 4:06:45 AM

Fact is, you cant have a value in a virtual item, you can however have value in a real item. Like when you buy a bunch of ex, what value do they really hold when someone quits playing or worse if the company folds? Now compare that to europe where people used to have other currencies who now still hold value and depending on who you talk to, bring in quite a bit of money even though the currency itself isnt being used for regular payments anymore.

Are you claiming that the Asian countries you're talking about have true free market economies and that's why they are getting shafted? You might want to rethink your stance on that.

No, i beleive that true free market economies need third world countries to do their heavy labour cheaply in order to fuction properly :) https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow	Posted by Poutsos on Aug 17, 2014, 9:28:38 AM Quote this Post
" Poutsos wrote: No, i beleive that true free market economies need third world countries to do their heavy labour cheaply in order to fuction properly :) That doesn't make any sense at all. Firstly, there are no truly free market economies, because a free market economy could only exist in a society where government plays no role in the economy. As it is, all economies around the world are completely corrupted and enslaved by their governments, and thus aren't "free market" by any reasonable definition of the term. Secondly, you haven't stated anything about free market economies that would make them dependent on non free market labor to survive, merely an assertion that they do. That assertion in itself is contradictory because if an economy is dependent on non free market labor, then it isn't a free market economy. I think you're just getting into the whole "free markets are slavery, capitalism so bad" thing without really thinking it through. Its corruption between governments and corporations that is causing all this suffering, and its the very antithesis of what real free market economics is about.
