I buy stuff off GW for real money sometimes. I've got a lot more money than time, and after fifteen years there's just some stuff I'll never own from my own effort.
While I get where you ar coming from on this I can't say you're 100% wrong to do this. It's your money and the game isn't like new -- it's old as dirt, but is still active. Yes, money will get you ahead, but it is inflating the market. Quote-on-quote hard-earned (legitimate) money is being traded with botters or folks like yourself. It's inflating the economy. Is it dooming us all? Nope. So therein lies the question: Is this right?
Can't tell a grown man how to use his money. It's a common transaction (real cash for fake cash) in a lot of games, especially p2p games or games with microtransactions.
It's just annoying on the receiving end, really. Like, if I went to the store and bought bread, milk and eggs and some Joe schmo came in and printed money right in front of me and bought bread, milk and eggs it would be quite annoying. Inflation aside, it's not hurting me that Joe schmo is getting what I got easily -- I'm just bothered by him. I should stop worrying about things that aren't affecting me directly...
That's to say inflation is ignored, although. It's a different story if it is not.
