But I do believe impulsive buying is the root problem of mmo economy if you got people willing to buy those items at that insane amount you will have it for the rest of life of the mmo and they say the 1% is greedy.

Will this gimp me on some gear down the line because I don't buy it sure or maybe not, but at least I have my integrity and principles intact and not go on impulsive buying and add to the problem.
I don't buy a lot of things because I can make/gather everything myself. Unless I'm really pressed for time then I do, but the majority of players cannot farm, make everything themselves so they are forced to buy. Expecting people not to buy something that they need because the price is too high is like expecting people to stop buying gas because it's too expensive... It's just not going to happen.
