lol imagine RPG games on consels had that.

Buy 10,000 experience for 10 dollars !!

Tales of vesperia?  5 bucks = 5 levels....Well something like that.

The thing is. When players outsource to each other. i.e buying gold or paying someone else to grind xp for you in mmo. People whine and moans how it ruins the game.

And now, the devs cut out the middle man and sell these "services" and it's all of a sudden okay?

Expectations.

When you buy and play a quality MMO like say WoW you know what you are getting into. Blizzard isnt going to pull some microtransition shit and exchange real money for virtual items, so therefore when people do do things like the aforementioned you are entitled to find it "cheating" and against the standard expectations of that MMO.

On the other hand free to play games like Mafia wars that try to nickle and dime you every 10 min. is expected; before you even started the game it was expected that microtransactions were imminent, so those who would "whine and moans how it ruins the game" wouldnt even bother playing.

Auction house.
