Star Wars Galaxies Auctions Afoot

Posted by timothy on from the chortle-like-a-hutt dept.

Fusty writes "Game Girl Advance is running a story about the first wave of Star Wars Galaxies auctions on Ebay. Items, credits and characters are already selling for over $250, not even a month after launch. Will Sony/Verant shut down SWG auctions, like they did the EverQuest Auctions?"

    Spare the world the "casual player" bullshit. It's a GAME. You're supposed to play games to have FUN. The point of SWG (and all MMORPGs) is to progress a character YOU create and have fun doing it.

    People who buy accounts on eBay are not "casual gamers" looking to save a buck. They are people with deep psychological problems who feel the need to "own" everything in order to make up for something else.

    Sorry for the trollish generalization, but it needs to be said.
