Re: What Does "Fair" Mean?
1) I'm not seeing where you have evidence that this is "something that happens a lot". You previously asserted this directly. Could you be more clear? Or is this pure conjecture?
2) Also, why does having an official system where thousands of dollars change hands preclude corruption? In both cases, you're supposing a staff member is willing to violate their policies. Why would a staff member be willing to do this for T-shirt money, but not perks money, especially given the larger sums involved?
3) Don't merchandise-based games have an explicit, known system, where you give them money and get a textile-based good, rather than a virtual good? What is the difference that causes one administrator to be prone to bribery but not the other?
