you're really stretching here. you're comparing buying forum gold legitimately versus buying gold from gold sellers illegitimately. i'll break it down for you another way:
forum gold from "a questionable source" other than d2jsp: ~$10 per 1k
RoM diamonds from us.runesofmagic.com: 200 diamonds = ~$10 ~= 2 million in game gold or diamonds during double diamond sale: $10 = 400 diamonds = 4 million in game gold
so as you can see above $10 = 1k = 400 diamonds = 4 million in game gold = 1k:4m ratio
looks like my ratio is about spot on or at least fair, unlike what you're making it sound like.
In all gold trading, legit is worth at max 2x more. which would be about 150fg:1 mill. Currently diamonds are 1d:10k 400*10k=4 mill so thats right. 10$ is 260fg. thats 4,000,000/260. Which is about 1fg:15k gold. OR 66fg:1,000,000 gold.
It's actually cheaper that route, lol.
