  1. OMG This is too perfect... by Xatticus · · Score: 0, Troll

    I am a WoW player (shocking...I know). But I tried EVE one summer with all my friends and started to kinda get into it. Well eventually just simply mining bored me and I went back to WoW, but my friends stayed. They CONSTANTLY bash on WoW, saying it's the "stupid-man's" game, and how intricate and complex EVE is. I wonder what they'll think of their "high-and-mighty" game when they realize the developers are nothing but cheating scum. When reading that article, and saw that they were going for a mothership, I knew something could not have been right. Other than the Titan-class ships, motherships are the most expensive ships in the game. And then to have all those BPO's. BPO's are EXTREMELY hard to find and worth ALOT of money (especially for those items). Someone needs to pod-kill that dev a few times. So what have we learned today? Play WoW

    So... you want sympathy from us because you tried to sell WoW gold and ended up shut out of the market? Tell you what. You and Mysterious Ebayer X can both die in a moonfire.
