• MMORPG For Fun And Profit

  
  

  I ran across this and I truely don’t know what to say about it:
  http://www.power-leveling.com/index.htm

  
  

  Lazy, gullible, insecure, pointless, clueless…none of them seem to fit really. I have to admit I never would have thought of this.

  
  

  Well, to be more specific, that anyone would :

  
  

  1. Buy a game
  2. Pay for an online monthly account
  3. Give me access to it
  4. Pay me to play it

  
  

  It’s like driving someone to a restaurant, paying for the meal, paying them to eat it, leaving the tip..only to get the artificially inflated reputation as a regular customer or a good tipper.

  
  

  In some situations, thinking outside the box is good…but when you spot someone *eating* the box then selling his own leavings as art, you just have to give a nod to the truely different thinker in the bunch.

  
  

  That being said, having this as a job would totally suck all the fun out of it for me; but I can see how putting together an elaborate way of building a character the fastest way possible would only beg the question ‘Can I sell this without giving away how I do it?’.

  
  

  I’m not sure if my reaction is a general ‘What the f…?’, or ‘Dang, I wish I had thought of that!’ but there must be SOME demand for this and I suppose, now that I think about it, that’s what really puzzles me.
