Not really. Before I9 it wasn't needed, and after the chat/email restrictions almost all of the RMT spam stopped other than a few guys in /local which you don't notice unless you are next to them.

As opposed to the attitude that would rather fight against illegal gambling instead of child slave labor.

As a sidenote, no, my point isn't that everything is so bad, we can't do anything about it. It's that there are far worse things that most folks are party to without realizing it.

[ Edit ]
Just to clarify a bit more, perhaps. Prolly just end up muddling it more. Disassociating with someone because they support/endorse one trade practice, but not when they support/endorse another trade practice [chocolate, electronics] that is a far worse problem [both in scale and from my perspective, in terms of how deplorable the practice is] is a kind of selective rage.

I'm not going to hang out with people in this game who buy inf. You go ahead and make that as complicated as you want.

It's pretty simple for me.

Edit: To be clear, that was disappointment and discomfort I felt, not rage. Disappointment in my friend for willfully breaking the game's terms of service, and discomfort while being there in the middle of a conversation where everyone present seemed fine with it.

It's pretty bad that you'd just stop talking to that person because of it. Wouldn't an actual friend try to talk to the person and try to show them the light? If that try didn't work then wouldn't you still be there trying to help said person?
