Selling mmorpg items for real money has been going on for years, plenty of people are willing to pay real money for such artifacts.

These days you get people playing the game for most of the day, and then selling the items at various auction sites, lets just say this is an alternative pro gaming scene for a lot of people, and they probably make a lot more than the average cs player does.

Although id be pretty annoyed if someone pocketed £400 or so from an item that was half mine, stabbing him to death is a little over the top, he should have turned him into a frog instead.

lol i saw this earlier as well, extremes people go to nowdays is crazy.
