They're too content to let it 'extend the life of their game' or whatever the fuck the current MMO management 101 philosophy is.
Instead they fold up and pretend that it's impossible to avoid this kind of corruption, and it's part and parcel of the system. It's not.
No one in big business is willing to take a stand and set an example, to be the shining light in the darkness. There are no ethics anymore, just bottom lines. This is yet another sign of this, as though we needed it.
That is why it is a sad day.

Ethics? Lol. You have some gargantuan nuts mentioning the word "philosophy" in your post. You don't know the first thing about it, most five year olds can understand the concepts better than you. What is unethical about selling items ingame? Why should Blizzard or SOE spend a single penny to stop it, much less set up an anti-computer crime division?
I always hear dumbasses like you on these forums complaining about Ebayers, and how selling ingame items is wrong, and unfair, and the devil Wahh waahh. Noone gives a fuck. It was never amoral, or bad, or illegal(laff), and the way SOE, and now Blizzard goes through such lengths to stop it is a stupid waste of resources.
I predict some retard who took high school economics is now going to tell me how ingame selling ruins the economy.
