selling wins

But it's on them to crack down on the sellers - not the community.

..this isn't a service. This isn't a chore you pay someone to do for you. This is a game you play for fun. If you are selling or buying runs, you make sort of a meta-content that the game itself really isn't that fun, the rewards are, and its okay to skip the game to get the rewards, either in game (drops, gil) or outside of game (rl money). That's not really a healthy attitude for any game to have. The whole rmt/merc thing came up to be fair because a lot of older mmos really didn't get that their systems were not fun, but it makes no sense here at all; the reward is the content, not the drop. Its the experience in playing it, because virtually no drops in this game are useful, alter the gameplay much, or are required. The whole itemization system if anything is just to keep us playing.

It's actually taken to hilarious extremes in games now. Lineage 2 revolution will let you tap on a quest description and the game will play the quest out for you. EvE Online thinks so little of its real time progression system now that players buying and selling characters are quite ok, and that system literally just was a cookie clicker sort of thing where you just waited rl time to skill up.

and again for the raiding, its as much people saying "oh, its no big deal" as much as doing it. It shouldn't be this accepted or in doubt, especially given all the griping about skill on these forums. It shouldn't be someone like me who sees issues with this, the raid community really needs to be the one to condemn it so much more so than us.
