Study: People have too much money to spend on MMOs

[yottabyte]

Eve Online has in-game items that changes the appearance of your character.
These items cost more in-game than what their IRL counterpart costs in their gift shop.

Reminds me of something I read about EVE the other day

Players "slickdog" and "Viktor Vegas" found a lone cargo hauler with carrying 74 PLEX, over $1,100, and promptly blew the shit out of it. And every single one of the dollars. Not one PLEX survived. Over a grand was electronically vaporized, because that grand had already been paid to CCP who professionally don't give a shit what happens to money after that. They've set up a system where they make money when other people destroy it, and you can't even Occupy Jita because you'd have to pay them for the privilege.
