Price Comparison Shopping in MMORPG

Mike writes "Whether you love it, hate it or are unaware of it the MMORPG secondary market, which deals with the trade of in-game commodities for real world cash, is here and growing. Some researchers suggest that this secondary market is likely to exceed the primary market (which is created by off-the-shelf game purchases and subscriptions)in years to come. But with so many vendors how do you know who to buy from, or even who your options are? Eye On MOGS is a search-engine come comparison/availability tool for the MMORPG secondary market. It was created by gamers, for gamers and as such we are very sensitive to the needs of those players who use the secondary market and the concerns of those who oppose it. " Not meant to be an advertisement - but I think it's a very telling sign when even the secondary market for games can have its own price compare engine.

The problem is, those 'boring' parts are the parts where you learn. You learn what your characters abilities are. How well they fight, how well they use magic, how well they heal, or whether they are good at trading or get ripped off by the shopkeeps. You "get a feel" for your character.

If you just cheat or buy gold or use one character to twink another, you lose that learning experience.
