Oh, don't get me wrong, I still consider items and accounts to be owned by Blizzard. They don't charge for playing the game, so it seems reasonable for them to control it, up to and including deleting items/accounts of people they find doing something they don't want, like selling items. I play games how I enjoy them. Of course this includes not spoiling the game for other people, but I don't see how trading for items in money is any different to trading in in-game items. They both require time to gain, they're just converted differently.
Seems a bit hypocritical to vilify doing so as sad, just because you're trading for bits of information. Isn't that all software is, including the game we bought in the first place?
Bit of a moot point, since I don't play D2 any more, and I never have, nor probably will bought/sold items/accounts in games.
The possibility's still there that I might though.
Of course, that'd involve not being a pikey student, but what the hey.
