Shaunessy said:LOLOLOLOL yeah because you know, hitmen have all kinds of websites advertising their trade.
If being a hitman was legal like being a gilseller, yes, there probably would. You're missing the biggest picture in the world. When you log in to FFXI, the laws of your country still have affect, but another set of laws come into play, the laws that are SE's Terms of Service. Break those, and the cops of FFXI, the GMs, may take action. Exactly the same as the real world, where the cops may pull you for speeding 80 in a 55 zone, or they may ignore it in favor of pulling that guy who's doing 150.
But when you log off FFXI, the terms of service -stop- applying. And where are the gilselling websites? They're sure as heck not inside the game, they're out on the rest of the internet. Just like piratebay in Sweeden. They're not subject to US laws against copyright violation, because guess what? They're not in the US!
