Well it just kinda seems like the RMAH split the market into 2. And when given the choice between gold or $$$ after finding a good item it seems people like to opt for $$$.
Not really surprising. A lot of people who make good money at their jobs have more cash to spend on leisure things than they do time to farm. It's been that way since the first MMOs.
A friend of mine made a couple of thousand selling Everquest characters/items.
Is anyone honestly paying real money for anything? I mean have any of you sold anything for cash yet?
The last time I looked the global market for virtual goods was at about 1.2 billion in annual sales. It's probably higher now.
I sold a ring for $20. I hear of auction house tycoons making thousands of dollars. Some guy said he made more in a day of diablo than he did at his actual work.
It's quite possile if you dedicate your time and energy to it. I just don't find it interesting enough. You could probably do better day trading penny stocks on the real stock market if that kind of thing floats your boat.
