there is 1 more very interesting hero. lets remind a bit, future core hero, how he fought vs 85 mage few months ago. ( 1 from most stacked mages in that time with b.valakas, 2x sa weapon, 99/99 etc vs 85 lvl littlejesus )
about this making fun of "call police, bcos some1 robbed my toon", its not that much nonsense as you think. in poland there were few cases (mostly related with tibia *bleh*), where "virtual thieves" got caught. ofc it ended with fine and giving back itomz. also there were similiar cases in china or w/e. i can bet that there are much more cases with stolen virtual goods (but they are not in media). i know its kinda funny, bcos its just a game, but lets face it, nowadays there are many virtual goods/services that you cannot actually touch and they are mostly some '01010101' in database located god knows where. there are also legal companies (registered) who hire employees (no, not just for a plate of rice), sell virtual goods from diffrent games and... and pay taxes. also, maybe i'm not an expert, but still - stealing anything through the internetah on your personal computer, in you personal network on your public ip, without any anonymization (tor for example), without even basic knowledge how internet actually works is kinda stupid... i'd say very stupid. it was just a few thoughts, i don't really care who stole what and from who
im not sure but i think items are saved in hexadecimal system and this system still have more elements than our world made from 12 elementary particles and this mean game > life
don't be silly . the items are not yours . they are property of ncsoft/innova or whoever has the servers . having them in your inventory means you are on "this gear level" in the game , and surely doesn't mean "i got item for 5k euros" . so get over it - there's nothing you can do about this . i mean if there was something to be done in this aspect (property of items and such) , don't you think ncsoft/blizzard and all other big companies related to the mmorpg world wouldn't be opening claims against the ppl who actually re-sell this stuff for real money ? farmers are actually selling company's products without their knowladge or any written contract between the 2 sides . so if the companies didn't do anything about this yet , maybe some exceptions - ofc - i don't think a single player can do anything or prove that 3rd party stole something that is not even his property . this is like claiming a police report about "your" money in your friend's pocket stolen by this x guy . forget about it , listen to the voice of reason - and stop any further thoughts in this direction - it will lead to more serious health or mental illneses .
you are absolutely right. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1113327 ^ a study/research/article done with the assistance of various prominent developers, critics, writers from the mmo industry, judges, professors and so on; the author tries to defend the point of 'the goods should be yours' by using the term goodwill payment as he/she tries to argue that it is a reward from investing time and currency on a developer's product and that rmt would be the exchange of that 'goodwill' which should fall into players' autonomies however that's not the legal standing on it. read the entire document for details; it's a blast!
you are making useless speculation, your opinion doesn't matter, it's the law that matters. plus there are quite more factors to consider.
