Money to play SRO

I was just looking at how much silk it would cost to get a PGT and a GT and it would come out to 368 silk which would convert to $36.80 in US dollars. Imagine 5 to 10 yrs from now how much ingame stuff is gonna cost.

And then take a look at the chinese item mall, it costs like 9 silk to buy 1000 xlarge pots, in sro it costs like 88 silk i think\

EDIT: think this is meant to be in the GD, this is OTL ( where we hate SRO

)

Most everyone will when they face the fact that the game means nothing in the real world.

That is quoteworthy, I don't get how some people can spend $200, $300 for such a game. Why not use it towards buying a gaming computer? Even thats a better idea

I saw on ebay some guy selling a character and some people were bidding $8000+ on it. Even if you make a profit off of selling super high characters, how much is it? like $2000 or $1000 profit? and it takes you 2 years to cap the character? you'd get more money working at a fast food restaurant for 2 years and saving all that money up

Yes not as witty as shifting into noob talk randomly.

I've yet to achieve that level of wit

well you need a pretty decent job to have a roof over your head, and a desk, a computer, internet service, to play such a game.

cardboard box = $0.00
desk = $100 ~ ?
laptop = $300 ~ ~$4000
internet service = $0.00 if you park your card board box strategically
