Re: What Does "Fair" Mean?

Could you explain how you know that this is "something that happens a lot"? It doesn't seem supported by anything else you said, but you're clearly making a positive assertion.

If anything, I'd expect that problem to be worse in games where large sums of money routinely change hands-- some pay-for-perks games have characters with $1000 US or more invested in them, according to players of those characters that have posted here. The economic incentives seem much more clear-cut, especially when games are based on a for-profit model, vs. the non-profit model common to free games.
