I don't play video games. Maybe a round of minesweeper or freecell here and there, but nothing more than that.

Sloth? I worth 50+ hours a week. I've bought gold on Sony's Station Exchange. I also bought fragments in Asheron's call.

No, I don't buy characters already levelled, but a bit of gold or key pieces here and there for $5 bucks or whatever is fantastic. My choice, I can spend 10s of hours bashing low level garbage or spent 8 bucks and bypass it so I can have fun doing other stuff...well the choice is obvious to me. Buying a platinum piece in Everquest 2 for $7 is a fantastic bargain for me. It allows me to get better gear and go on raids that are fun. I don't have the time a 21 year old college student has. I make significantly more dollars per hour doing what I do for a living.

Over the past 6 years, I've spent under a hundred bucks on this stuff, but it's all been worth it. I make 100 bucks in a few hours, so I think this is a non-issue.

It's capitalism at it's best, I mean, if I were some young Chinese kid and got a job offer to play WOW instead of sewing shirts on piece rate, I'd be all over it.
