Although there are bad sides to this, there are also good sides. I have gotten scammed by a pay to play game. I payed 2 rare items for a blue football suit prize. It was cute or boot i believe. When i won, he boot everyone out of the room, and i got a sick feeling in my stomach. He traded me, then said he had to take it off, and he left trade and boot me. I reported him and they did nothing.
So now i'm glad that won't happen anymore, bc ppl like that make me sick.
Now, you say that if it isn't a scam, you should be able to charge. How do you know? How do you know when it's a scam or when it isn't? You don't. And that's the reason why VMK has taken precautions like this. If people would have respected their privilegdes, we would still be using pay to play.
Blame the scammers.
