Asian stereotype question

Is that me or all Asian gamers are very selfish and greedy?
Like for example, almost all Chinese / Asian focused servers' economy is plain painful to watch, everything is overpriced and the only way is pay to win.
This can be seen at most in China's MMORPG (you can refer CMS's module and compare to any other MS's versions and CMS is the worst), or just any server with lots of Chinese players in them.
They also seems to love to get everything for themselves instead of sharing the loots among the party. o.o

Is that how it works or I'm having stereotype here?

Usually when people do things like that it's for not so altruistic reasons. It sounds like she's trying to buy her friends and make people like her.

Numbers reassure people that they've completed something. Honestly, it's a human thing, but there are so many Asians that do it, they're pretty much distinguished.

It's actually because Asian MMO games have a tendency to revolve around external rewards, and they use psychological manipulation to force players into their system. [url=https://omegathorion.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/game-design-internet-gaming-disorder/]Here's an essay I wrote about it[/url]. I still don't know why the trend usually happens with Asian MMOs, maybe it has something to do with the culture. But any society where people focus on external rewards will end up having the problems you described. Heck, when you say that "everything is overpriced and the only way is pay to win", you pretty much describe capitalist America.
