Illegal, yes. Immoral, no. Would I prosecute? Only if I considered it something immoral AND illegal.

The world is made purely of absolutes, the question is, how diligent will you be in ripping away the abstractions to find them?

Based on common sense and how many times the examples you use would actually apply in a real world sense, I can drown your examples with oceans of more reasonable ones.

Fact: the distance where I'm sitting from the door is ten feet.

Fact: the points on that ten foot distance are infinite.

Fact: You can't traverse an infinite distance in a lifetime.

Using examples like yours or the one above, I can "prove" anything, including that you cannot walk the distance of ten feet in a lifetime.

Your method of disproving my points in this thread was first debunked by the ancient greeks. Please refresh your recollection based on a Western Civ or Philosophy 101 primer.

How bout we just drop these follies and deal in the real world, using common sense.

Your premise is based on absolutes. It doesn't matter if you have millions of examples. All I need is one.

So was the bombing of Nagasaki or Hiroshima right or wrong? Is the War on Terrorism right or wrong? Are Holy Wars right or wrong? Is believing that America is evil right or wrong? Is going against the common belief right or wrong?

If everything is either right or wrong, then answer those questions. If you can't answer exactly whether those questions are right or wrong, then you're obviously wrong about how everything in the world is right or wrong.

The world is not black or white. If it was, then there'd never be any arguments on anything, because it would be exact.

Here, I'll take a page from your book on this whole RMT thing, it's not the player's fault for exploiting, it's the developer's fault for having the mob being so hard. This is exactly the same as me saying it's not the player's fault for wanting to buy money, it is the fault of the developers for having games that make it so that if you play more you get more out of the game to advance with.

There, I just applied your exploit analogy to the RMT issue. Will you fight the developers? Or will you just be blinded by them and just blame people who buy and/or sell?

C'mon, LFG, you're smart enough to understand corporate structure.

The people from Trump International Hotel & Tower do not "work with" the people from Miss Universe, even though The Donald ownes 'em both.

The people from Baby Center don't "work with" the people from DePuy although both are owned by Johnson and Johnson.

Geez. Just common sense.

Right. Right. Wrong. Wrong. And which common belief?

Describe in one sentence the fundamental roadblock to writing a software RNG.

Exact solutions for RMT are freely given, all the time.

I've never tradeskill botted, ever, I'm surprised you of all people would make such a retarded suggestion based on what I've been saying to the contrary and doing in game for the past 3 years.

Let's not you challenge me on common sense, ok?

You work for a vertical organization. The people in charge of your company set up a series of parent and umbrella companies that does it all, from farming to selling.

Many in game gold farmers that play characters without vowels in their names and farm in 12 hour shifts and sleep on the floor next to their PC are the functional equivalent of your co-workers.
