To access the higher-level regions and new game content, gamers have to obtain decent items and experience, usually by grinding Rohan Gold, to enhance their characters.
But for those players who don't have much time, like someone who has a real day job, they only have 2 choices: quit playing or find someone else to grind for them.
If some extra bulk purchases can make the game-play much smoother and help many couch potatoes to get a life, why should we still blame it.
I know many hardcore gamers are pissed off by the real-money-trade. But remember, in many aspects, the MMO community is just like the real world, where money can transform a zero to a hero in an instant. Don't like trimming your lawn? Just pay someone to do it for you.
In this way, Blizzard is earning tons of money, the real kind of money. For those free-to-play MMOs, the status of a cash shop is even more critical as it is the only way that the game developers can earn money from the games.
Look at Conquer Online's cash shop, it has everything necessary to transform a noob into a superman - all you need is a wad of cash. So most game companies police gold farmers with an iron fist to protect their own interests.
In a word, fundamentally, the game companies and the gold famers are just rivals who are trying their best to hook game money.
