When in-game currency holds a USD value, it's the same as the dollar you would have spent. I'm not sure what you don't understand right now. If I had "whatever" worth $20.00 USD, you have 2 options. You can find a way to sell it for, let's say, a gift card worth $20, you can than sell that gift card on Ebay or go use it for your groceries or whatever. However you look at it, that currency was worth $20.

I'm breaking this down for no reason because you will ignore the point here.

The WOW gold woulnd't have been given a "$50,000" value if it wasn't worth that, in USD. He had 2 options. He could have cashed it out real world trading or did what he did. He chose to trade it off for Diablo Immortal.

I wouldn't have done what he did. He could have bought a nice car.

EDIT: It doesn't matter HOW he gained the currency. Why does that effect the value of it? If a pimp made a woman bring him $1,000, does that mean that $1,000 is worth less or nothing? I don't get how you don't get it.

I wasn't sure so I checked, but it's illegal to cash out hand-farmed gold into USD though.. so no, it's not $

Good point. I dont know. This is a source of entertainment for me. It does really blow my mind that people are so dumb. I might take your advice though. I feel dumb for even getting to their level but my hopes is to talk some sense into them. It's pretty insane of me to assume I can change their mind because it's an outcome I know that is a waste of time. They're dumb now and they'll be dumb after.

Pimping is illegal. There are black markets. I don't understand, though. How come people are ignoring the fact that in-game currency holds a value for a reason? It's worth that.

Of course you can't cash in your game currency because it's against their copyright laws. It's technically stealing.

That's all it's worth in this context, though. In-game currency. I just fail to see how he was a whale, but maybe we don't share the same definition

Final point here: If he took that WOW currency and sold it, ILLEGALLY, for $50,000, it was deposited into his bank, THAN he purchased the legendary crests WITH his bank card, was it any different? Hopefully you're understanding. That's my final attempt in stressing the point.

I don't mind discussing it, you've been cordial and I don't mind having the conversation.

Yes IMO that is very different. Since it was converted into cash. In my mind, he just played the system and didn't spend a dime of his money. I just think it's hilarious cause I heard it takes years to get that much gold lol
