President of MMOG Currency Seller Grilled

Garthilk writes "When I first saw the interviews with IGE's President on Gamespy and OGaming, I was disappointed. Where were the difficult questions? I got to thinking that an average gamer could try to ask the hard questions. I emailed the folks at IGE and to my surprise, they agreed to conduct an email Q&A. Not soon after sending off my questions I received some replies. Unfortunately, some of the answers were not to questions I sent, so I sent some follow up questions as well. To my even greater surprise, the follow up questions were answered as well. Here is my interview, perhaps it's best to leave the journalism to the professionals."

A typical reaction from FPSers. We don't *want* to compete in twitch. Twitch is a boring form of gaming that should have died a decade ago. RPGs are closer to RTSes and the like- strategic combat. Knowledge of your abilities and strategies with the twitched minimized. Combat tests your ability to outplan and out think your opponent, not wether you can hit your wasd keys quickly enough. In other words- combat that actually means something.
