Roleplay/Partyfinder Discrepancies & Policy Enforcement by GM's

[Kaurhz]

While I can agree with that, in general, I also do think that selling clear/loot runs for in-game currency is really no different than selling gears/food/potions/leveling kits/etc.

If the game allows for player trading/economy, then any in-game business is legitimate unless the product/service being sold is a violation, and helping someone clear content/get loot is the opposite of a violation in an MMO. An in-game business transaction in such a case would just be part of the social aspect of the game.

There's a clear difference between selling content, and selling consumables, gear, etc, etc. Is that selling content not only undermines those that have cleared it and their sense of achievement, but also those that bought the content then have a serious false sense of achievement. Granted this is largely on a matter of principle than anything else. But I would stand to argue if any 'investigation' were carried out you could at some point find out that 90% of them are in violation of ToS.

Whilst I am inclined to agree on this point, I will mention that going by this selfsame reasoning, then purchasing and selling housing was always completely legitimate and therefore any reworks were not even necessary because it is just an in-game transaction that encompasses the social aspect of the game.

Either way, not even that relevant to the thread so I will halt this topic here and outline a point on topic; there's a reason why fellowship finder exists. Granted, it could use some expanding upon. But the point that there are people advertising for stuff that would be considered NSFW. Not something people take pleasure in when all they want to do is search for a party to clear content.
