You're not paying for the actual item. You're paying for the time the person invested in the game to obtain that item/money/character. Well.. at least that's how you get around the EULA.

I can kinda see where the guy is coming from. If I spent over 1000 hours leveling up & getting an item, and somebody cost me all that work w/o compensation, I'd want to stab them too. Not saying I would, but I'd think about it... alot.

edit: on that same line of thought, if I got home and was short 1k perk points (cuz I don't have many), my rl friend that plays would get donkey punched. Definately not stabbed, but donkey punched at the minimum.

crazy! My little bro plays diablo 2. He showed me the items being sold on ebay, some go for alot. It's a fun game, but I would not buy the stuff. Collecting yourself is more fun I think.

That's not a way to get around the EULA. That's like saying you can pay a prositute for her time and she throws in the BJ as a freebie and it's legal. People have already tried that tactic to bypass the EULA for these games and have lost every single time.

ack-ack

You'd donkey punch your friend? Female friend, I hope.
