I'm being serious. It is a failure of my imagination to be able to reconcile a world of people to be so gullible and detached from the value of their currency. Socializing online should be a free market and you should only have to pay for new content. That's essentially my world-view. But I guess I'm just naive.
I don't play MMOs and I'm sure there's a substantial portion of FF7's player base that either doesn't play MMOs or only subscribes long enough to get through new content and then drops it.
