Goals Wrote:The items for sale in "Acura Cheap" shops aren't exactly the best items out there. They could be anyone's shit. I could be lying about where they're from or the shops might not belong to a hacker. Plus, I'm not going to hesitate to buy crap like 10 Atk WGs for 50m (example), or any sort of common cheap crap like that. As for your opinion- I could care less- not my problem people are getting hacked.
If you have access to a permit and you have enough to buy something cheap that's easily resellable, you would be stupid not to buy it. Buying items for mesos, an in-game currency, is not against the TOS or rules or anything. Is it wrong morally? Is some maple saint going to buy them and return the items to their rightful owner? No! 99.99% of the items will be purchased by a merchant and resold for profit.
I agree with this. Yes it does suck to lose everything you have but still a merchant's desire for meso is greater than any morals a person will have in an online game... I've certainly lost billions of meso from merchanting mistakes, giving equips away, and funding hacked friends before myself but I get over the losses quickly. Takes work to remake whatever you lost.
Even if the item is stolen or not, it's still merchanting. I certainly wouldn't hesitate buying something of value for cheap and reselling. If somebody gives me a nice deal, like trading a bunch of duped WS I would certainly take it anyway. I think some people are expecting too much from merchants lol... Morals in an online game where identity is shielded by a monitor? Not gonna happen sorry to say.
