Well, if you don't criticise bad systems and dumped down versions of previous games you obviously don't care which games are getting produced and criticising these faults isn't like playing the 'white knight'
If you criticise them based on some kind of logical reasoning .. then that is true.
However to criticise them based on some kind of "belief" .. that is as white as knights come.
The only thing I have heard against this system is spoutings of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt .. with no logical reasoning behind them. Also to condemn a system "simply because it causes profit to the party in question" is the same thing. Blizzard profitting from Chinese Gold Farmers is not a reason why it will be bad for us .. if anything it just makes sense. In a way Chinese Gold farmers are engaging in "Virtual piracy" .. since they are making money from digital media created by blizzard, in which blizzard receives none of the profits.
This way Blizzard recieves money that they are DUE.
All of the crap about how it will effect the econemy is just speculation ..
Since A: Its not out yet .. we have no REAL idea on how it will work.
And B: Gold farming already exists in every MMO out there .. are you going to tell me that ALL of their Econemies are broken because of it? In WoW .. Gold still works as a currency .. in Eve ISK is STILL currency ..
It seems to me that people want to think of their progression in these MMO's as if someone else having more money than them means they are somehow losing.. which is rediculous.
