I just don’t know what to say...

I can see it now on my tax returns. Capital gains taxes for: “Sold 10,000 Gold in WoW for $500”. Maybe we’ll eventually get tax breaks for profits from selling Iron Bars to offset the taxes for selling other in game items. lol

This is beyond ridiculous.....

What do they do when virtual world items have increasingly negative values?

10,000 WoW gold 3-4 years ago was like $1,000.

10,000 WoW gold just a few months ago was worth like $150 to $200.

Items once impossible to obtain without the help of 40 players can now be obtained with 5-7 and they have no longer have any in game value beyond collector status.

Every time a game expansion is released ever item that existed in the previous version is worth nothing. Every time an expansion is released the real world value of in game gold practically gets cut in half.
