    Well I just do not understand any of this. People are willing to trade items on Minecraft for real life money, I do not think that is a really smart idea because in Minecraft the items can not do anything for you in real life. Another thing people can always refund their purchases or sent money and they would get the refund back. The last thing is that trading real life money could not help you one day at all, instead of sending it to someone you do not EVEN KNOW in REAL LIFE just let the deal go by.

    i would probably put this in discussion, not suggestions. suggestions are for things to be added to the server, this is more of a warning.

    So-stop me if I'm wrong- what you're saying is that it's absolutely pointless to... say, buy a video game with real money because it does nothing for you? Or maybe that nobody should donate to the server?

    Nah, I think he is specifically referring to the items. While a donorship is pretty much like buying a videogame in that it will keep you preoccupied longer and provide an experience, trading PayPal money for items with another player leaves the chance for chargebacks (like in the case of luckydolphins1) and it doesn't really give you anymore of an experience; it's just additional stuff to look at in a chest and to have stolen one day.

    Let people decide what they want to do with their money. It's as simple as that.

    People use real money because it gives them something to do, otherwise they just get bored

    But seriously... We can't go and tell people to stop buying cigarettes, we cant go and tell someone dont buy a video game. We cant tell people what to do with their money, so its no point trying. What you could do, in fact is tell people the dangers of chargebacks and real world trades, regarding their money and scams. People spend money on virtual things because it gives them entertainment. Thanks all.

    Lol I'm sure everyone whom chooses to do this are aware. People do what they want, pretty much. Not saying it's a good thing that most do what they want, but it's just the way we are, no way to stop it. ;p

    I'll contribute now.

    I've slumped over $2,500 on League of Legends, $800+ on RuneScape, $500 on Guild Wars 2, $1,100 on Final Fantasy: A Realm Reborn (Made $2,000 back from that game anyway).

    If people want to spend THEIR money on in-game items, let them.
