Im just sayin... this guy wants to act like a MAN, but he fought over gp like really? lmfao
If i heard my dad or any of my friends or a "man" i knew getting into a physical fight over some fuckin internet game items, id probly literally rofl XD
GP or not he was fighting over $500. Doesn't matter what the trade was about the guy booked it without paying, and so he got it back.
Stop replying your making a fool out of yourself.
They still got in a physical fight over video game stuff, like another guy said, could have gotten the police involved if they stayed long enough, could have fought in front of kids (OVER A GAME), and caused a huge scene in public. Sure its 500$ but at the end of the day, they placed a 500$ value on this game stuff, and fought over it in public, almost getting the police involved and causing a huge scene lol. ON TOP OF THAT, he sounds like he couldve almost hospitalized this guy, he said he punched him 20 times in the face? What if he did put him in the hospital... when it comes down to it, this whole thing started based off of rsgp. lucky it didnt lead to jail time for either of them lol
The fact that they are trading for tangible goods (real money...) makes it about more than just a game. If they were just trading in-game items, and beat eachother up over it, it wouldn't matter. The fact that runescape gold can be sold for cash in the real world shows that it has value similar to any other item in the world. It's value is determined by what people will pay for it. Getting robbed for 500$ of runescape gold isn't any different from getting robbed for a 500$ phone, the item has value, and saying "it's just a game" doesn't take away from is monetary value.
The only real difference is how it is viewed in the eyes of the law. Nobody owns runescape gold except for Jagex, and the only people with rights to sell runescape gold are Jagex, so to be fair you just mugged a kid for 500$ and he could report you to the police for robbery/assault, even if you gave him the gold in the end.
