...these fucking whales, it's one of the reasons so many games are shit, because they don't have the talent or patience to become better, they open their (probably parents) wallets to try to pay to win.
they open their (probably parents) wallets to try to pay to win.
A guy I know was in one of the top, elite-of-the-elite WoW raiding guilds - multiple world-first dungeon clears, always at the bleeding edge of the content, etc.
He (and just about everyone else in the guild) sold fully levelled, high geared accounts on ebay for around one to two thousand dollars. Most of his buyers used professional email addresses for the purchase - doctors, lawyers, business owners.
We used to think these were people who simply didn't have the time to play but wanted to keep up with their kids, or see the endgame content, or wreck shit in PvP. Oh how wrong we were. They are actually competitive narcissists who want to brag in front of their friends about how they have XYZ.
Imagine a dinner table full of millionaires all bragging about their WoW gear and pretending they got it legit, and they're doing this purely to dick wave at eachother and assert some ridiculous, illusory form of dominance.
All of that wasted time earning pretend points in a game for an account that doesn't even get used by the buyer. Our whole economy is a fucking joke full of shit like this.

Most buyers barely ever logged in.
