I have to say I'm completely appalled at how many people think they have ANY business judging anyone for purchasing cards or virtual items of e bay. Unless there is someone on this board that has NEVER spent money on a movie, pay per view, a CD, a music download, cable television, another video game, PAID FOR INTERNET USE or even a special ringtone for your cell phone then you are ALL also guilty of spending money on virtual entertainment.
Nobody is being scammed (if you think this is the case then you are in serious need of a vocabulary lesson), whether these codes are from free games or not. If someone is paying for a code that comes from a free game, they are paying that person for the time they spent playing the game. Or the time they spent putting these codes together in nice little package. Period. The only people who should be concerned with those sales are the seller and the buyer. And some people are computer illiterate, I wasn't aware that that was such a terrible thing to be these days.
And let's not pretend for a second that Disney has the not for sale or transfer jargon on the back of the card to protect some kind of value system. This is Disney, one of the largest, wealthiest, and most price gouging companies in the world. The cards, the game, all of it exists so that you will spend more money with the company. If people didn't spend money as a result of playing this game, Disney wouldn't bother.
I also find it incredibly elitist to say that the only people who should have access to actual quest cards are those that can physically get to Disneyworld. Maybe someone would rather spend $100 to $200 dollars to make a game that they enjoy on a daily basis a little more interesting, than blow $5000 to vacation for just one week. Not to mention that I've seen people blow far more money on things like trading cards, beenie babies, scrapbooking, not to mention ART. Why is it wrong for someone to spend money on something that makes them happy?
I buy vmk cards sometimes and I have made a lot of people extremely happy trading these items that would not have been available to them or would have cost them much more in trades had I not purchased these cards. Yes people can trade for them, but fortunately we live in a free country where sometimes there are different roads that all lead to the same place. I can't believe that some of you would be so nasty as to call someone silly or ridiculous or a sucker for spending their own money as they see fit.
It's just a game. Go spend your time, energy and concern somewhere that matters. You should be complaining about things that actually affect your enjoyment of the game. I don't understand why people can't just be happy that there is such a wonderful online environment that brings so many different kinds of people together, without finding something to complain about.
I for one would hate to see someone that spent money that they worked hard for be made to feel like less of a player because someone on here was preaching on the evils of ebay.
