Look I can make big numbers appear on a screen!

at least it's not drugs

@manoqueen: If it is to them, it is. Why do you think a piece of paper with old dead people printed on it has value? It's because we chose to give it value. With $100, you can buy a quite of bit of food in the U.S and you can say money = food; but if you're on a deserted island with nothing to eat, then is money truly WORTH food?

@ImMoreWitty: I would assume the person isn't going into debt buying the ring then yes, it is logical. If I could spend a grand for a plane ticket to travel, why isn't it logical for me to spend half of that on an pixel-ated item which has a resell value when they are both for my happiness?

OT: a lot of people are really stupid with their money, its why America is in such bad debt.[/quote]

In case you haven't noticed, Koreans and Chinese gamers spend money on games too yet their country isn't in extreme debt.

@exobishops: But I worked for hours at my minimum wage job to buy these godly tyrant shoes! It's my money! I worked for it! My parents feed me and give me a roof for free which is the only reason I even have free time to play games at all so I should totally be respected when I make stupid choices!

[quote=ExoBishops]Oh my god....

Would you spend $500 on a f~king PIXEL shoes?
$500 shoes IN REAL LIFE is Expensive asf,too.
think about that.[/quote]

I think both ideas are stupid. But spending $500 on pixels? Think of all the better things you could spend $500 on, instead of 1 pixelated item.

[quote=nhan1st]Only $500, have you seen how much a godly LGR go for?
Let me ask you a few question
Why do you spend money to watch pixels, T.V.?
Why do you spend money to watch pixels, Movies?
Why do you spend money to eat at a restaurant instead of eating at home?
Why do you spend money on music players? They're just sounds.[/quote]

Answer me this and stay fashionable.

Is it logical?

If you want to spend half a g on a maplestory item, you have the right to.

I also have the right to mercilessly mock you and/or think less of you as an intelligent human being.

Fair's fair. Own your decisions or don't bother trying to criticize others for mocking yours.

this can easily apply to everyone who plays video games, xbox, wili and all the other stuff
it all comes down to "its his/her money"
dont argue with what people want to do with their money, just dont -__-

You know something is wrong when you are paying 500 dollars for a pixel shoes.
I can get atleast 10 pairs of real shoes for that much.

Oh, youre in bello.

You saw that crazy shop in the fm, didnt you.

I don't see what's bad about that as long as you can afford that type of thing/have a well-paying job.
Or if you made 500k NX in-game and spent that on the shoe.

Only $500, have you seen how much a godly LGR go for?
Let me ask you a few question
Why do you spend money to watch pixels, T.V.?
Why do you spend money to watch pixels, Movies?
Why do you spend money to eat at a restaurant instead of eating at home?
Why do you spend money on music players? They're just sounds.

Ive been offered 400 on mine, and theyre only enhanced 7 times lol
People are crazy

Is it normal to buy a pair of air jordan shoes for $500?

Why would anyone spend such an amount on a single item?
Is this normal? Do people really buy shoes for such an outlandish amount of actual money?
What is the mindset of sneakerheads in this world?
How could this be normal?

Please somebody explain.

OT: People do crazy things for damage.

[quote=MasterKEVQN]$500 isn't a lot to some people. It's not like you're throwing it away, you can just sell it back for the same amount.[/quote]

You've got a point. People always forget about the option of selling the same item. However, assuming you're buying to use the item and not just resell, you're facing many factors that still make purchasing such an item essentially a loss of money. Power creep will steadily depreciate those items, so you really can't sell back for the same amount. That's not to mention all the hackings that are going on which would have you lose the item and your money.

But yeah, your money, your choice.

To some people logic is a 5 letter word. Let them be that way if they wish it's not like their stupidity affect other then annoying you

Some buy the shoes for the sole purpose of getting better in the game.
Others buy the shoes as an investment, to resell the shoes with a greater value.
And there are people that just won't buy the shoes because they don't want to spent money on a game or just can't afford it.
It doesn't matter in which group you belong does it?
Just have fun with/without spending money.

I love how people are trying to make logical sense out of this topic.

Oh here we go with the "it's their money".

Some of these people are the future of this economy. What makes you think I want them making stupid decisions in money spending?

Well, it might not make sense to some people, but to others, it's completely logical. And besides, it's their money, let them spend it. If they go bankrupt, then all they have to blame is themselves.

There are many weird people in this world
