Your wording was a little confusing though. If you had replaced the word "Have" with "Do" at the tail end of the sentence I quoted, your meaning would have been more clear.

Seriously. Making money is NOT HARD. |
Seeing I need 4-6 billion per character build, that's a bit of marketing taking away from my accolade grinding and levelling. I market anyway because credit card account fraud, not to mention supporting RMT, are far worse options.

I log in at the market and log out at the market- a few minutes of fiddling at each end of my session and by the time a character "grows up" enough to worry about a l337 build, the inf is there waiting for them.
But different strokes and all that- not trying to talk you into enjoying something you don't, just pointing out that it needn't take much of a bite out of your playtime.

Well, I can market easily enough. Use the mid-level crisis to fill the coffers, craft and sell the rest. Nothing too demanding but with the speed I level it's sometimes necessary to put the brakes on to recoup the time investment. |

Buying influence from RMTers is an activity that I would not suspect very many of the posters in this thread of doing. If any at all.
If you meant that most of the people reading that know someone who has, you are probably correct in that.
But if you truly meant that most people have bought influence, I would wager you are mistaken in that.
