I find this funny but i must admit, i was waiting for a story like this for a while. Considering there are company's out there that are farming gold. I play a bit of APB. I managed to win a certain type of gun. It was sitting in my inventory. I noticed recently that its actually worth €350 in real money :eek: People are actually paying that much for them.
