I thought this was a joke but it seems like it's actually legit. WoW, which has a subscription and paid expansions, just added a $90 item to their store. This is Korean MMO levels of absurdity. What do you think of this?

Seems like hundreds of people bought it immediately

Imagine a parallel world where no one brought the horse armour

I think it's an eventuality. If not the horse armor it would have been something else. Humans are easily exploitable

to me this is the wrong way of looking at it, it's like saying "imagine a world where plutocrats just didn't do pollution, imagine a world where plantation owners didn't use slave labor, imagine a world where industrialists didn't employ children"

it was always going to happen, just society has to force capitalists not to be cunts. Only way, always was, always will be, still is.
