Yes, thank you for reminding us that such things exist. While the existance of mathematical proofs is all well and good, you haven't established any sort of criteria for anything you're discussing. Do proofs exist? Yes. Have you proved anything? No.
The fundamental problem is that you're attempting to compare unrelated situations in an analagous manner. As others have stated, we simply don't go around raiding stores to take what we want, we don't gear up to fight some universal evil. We work so we have a nice place to sleep, fancy televisions, snazzy cars, good food, decent education for our children if we have them, and so we can pay our bills. Incidentally, those particular motivating factors don't exist in EQ. Houses don't exist, taxes don't exist, insurance bill don't exist. We have no RL resonsibilities (and isn't that the point of playing a game?) so we can wander around and kill nasties and get loot.
If you want to discuss the possibilities for a non-capitalisitic system, thats fine. Just don't base it on EQ.
