I'm really sorry, but this analogy does nothing to help this topic one way or another. I'm sorry you wasted your time typing it out, but it pisses me off when people try to morph dumb analogies in a debate. They are only useful when people don't understand both sides. Guess what? We understand both sides.

I'm going to reiterate Sephrik's point. You can all huff and puff this is going to do nothing to stop JSP from getting involved if they want to. And guess what? Forming a 'blacklist' of known users that you can all circle jerk and harass online isn't going to change anything, except their view of your maturity.

So a long time ago, there was this village. People traded their goods with eachother without any form of currency and people were happy. One day, a talking bear came out of the woods. He tried to convince the villagers to use his honey-coins for trading. The people quickly realized that bears don't talk, so they got scared and threw rocks at him until he left.

The year after that, the children of the village started disappearing out of their beds. Once a week, one of the children would disappear, and when the parents checked their bedrooms all they would find was a pillow soaked in honey.

Believing the bear was responsible, the villagers hunted the woods until one day they found the bear, and they dragged him back to the village. The bear claimed he was innocent and begged for his life, but the villagers didn't listen and burned him at the village square.

Moral of the story: If you're gonna use some form of currency, don't use honey, because it's sticky.

I really don't see what the problem is with them tbh they will trade items for fg and fg for items and not once will those items leave the servers or multiply so how does there trading in fg change the economy for anyone but them?

You're right, the source is not important and I didn't mean to encourage boosting/powerleveling in any form.

Play legit or gtfo! JSP is for cheaters plain and simple. Play within the rules of the game. No addons, no scripts, no bots, and no 3rd party trading. JSP already ruined the funest part of D2, don't let it ruin PoE's trading!

LF clan of legit only players. PM me.

So let me get this straight, isn't jsp like the RMAH in D3? Except in this case, GGG gets nothing while others profit. I'm not saying that paying real money to acquire virtual goods (sounds kind of ridiculous to me) is bad, but something is wrong if a third party benefit off GGG.

It's morally wrong, ethically wrong, and probably bending (if not breaking) some rules. Now I can see why D3 established a RMAH, and I wouldn't be surprised if other online games followed. Either way, I hope jsp doesn't establish a large population in PoE.

I would rather play a game the way the developers intended it (I love bartering, and hope that no type of auction house ever exists), instead of complying to the rules of some other entity that does nothing other then leech money off of GGG.
