Personally in my opinion the use of paypal is an unfair advantage to those who don't have paypal. How can someone who doesn't have paypal buy any amenity when so many people that have what you are looking for will only sell using paypal. Anytime I have looked to see who is selling what so I can try to get an amenity to buy to help with my training cell only sell their amens using paypal. Now there are those who are willing to sell using just items but those people seem to be more rare than most amenities or dvds these days. Yeah I guess it also depends on who you know and all that. For myself I have been lucky to have people help me out I am just voicing my own opinion here.

Getting somewhere now though right? If someone has a problem with someones sale or the way they handle business then the they should just shut then down... No one is breaking any game rules, therefore the whole thread/opening post is a rant .

If in the 1st post it explains that its not going against people that use paypal, therefore deeming it an acceptable payment method. Then you cant really say dont advertise in market place forum. So its some what contradictory ?

Also Henny explains, if she spent $100 on amenity then she would not be spending money on favors or respected, but everyones situation is diffferent and just because she doesnt mean others wont. No offense Henny, at all.

All said n done, as I said previous... some peoples methods and the way they conduct business is not acceptable. So you or we and anyone with an opinion on this thread has the power to do something about it?

Ie what Penny was saying in her last line. Same goes for non paypal, long ass auctions or whatever the case is. I dont actually think ''paypal'' is the problem here.

the fact that people will pay money for game items is a tribute to the game, as the game becomes more succesfull the items will become more valuable (unless mu releases clean toilets in the office for 10 favors of course)

I have 5 pages in my tranascations mostly all of +100 favs, how many u guys have ?

Interesting point Eazy and yeah I buy favs myself and I also buy them from people. Same goes for Swiss and a few others I know. Therefore driving the economy of the game. But I dunno if that points valid for this thread, as it about paypal and not favors. But real good point and 1 I was thinking of myself.

I guess it does kinda go hand in hand with the paypal thing, because some of us have enough favs and game items therefore, only paypal is good for us. Otherwise dont sell until we need favs or items???

For the record, I have 6... wonder what whiskeys was rofl

I agree with henny but i think paypal should be done but not the ridicilous amount of money that people ask for like $5 just for an amen or at times it likes $50/60

goddamn it.. thank you Dukey!! and yes its not the problem.. its certain individuals & the way they do business jus as we were discussin in PMs... the thing is that not many people want to mention their names, because consequences will come along with it such as a grudge or fuckin up that business connect for future reference.. its impossible to control others actions as we all kno but goddamn it ya'll kno folks is fuckin up the game as we speak.. jus like the dvds, the problem was not at all the dvds.. it was the way business was conducted with those who had always had them in masses (from scandalous computer software that will go unmentioned..SMH) as well as other sheisty methods... dis shit gotta stop, inflation is expected.. yes.. but we all kno its movin at too quick of a pace for those who are less fortunate to keep up.. these individuals that we are speakin of need some type of community control system..

I think mu does a dam good job of controlling the ecenomy in the game and the ecenomy of the game.

If mu , the game desigener , thinks that there is a problem he has all the tools to solve it.

Also im just guessing, but id say the majority of the paypal users have also bought a hell of a lot of favors and respected.
