I'm betting at least the majority of us here have bought or sold something in an MMO at one point.

However, I still don't like the idea of making it "legit."
The majority ? I am not so sure about that. You might eek that out because of wow and it's huge footprint, but I think if you throw 100 random online gamers (across all companies) and polled them, it would be alot less then 51 who paid real life money for in game items. Excluding of course, OCG's, or SOE Exchange server type deals, I am talking purchasing powerleveling, gold, items etc.

My magic 8-ball says it's probably less then 1/3rd, more like 1/4 of the 100 people polled. It's a significant share definately, but I don't think it's the majority.
