Do boxers sell their accounts?

[Littleburst]

I saw a breakdown of the time invested vs money earned from selling the account, somewhere. It wasn't even close to being worth it with the estimates that were used. I can't remember where I saw it so I can't check but I think it came out to be around $1.50/hr.

It's probably still more fun then most badly payed jobs. I got a whisper from a guy who had an accident and couldn't work anymore. He was thinking about starting to box to make some money. It's probably not very effective, but could work in a situation like his.

I had a huge post written but would have probably gotten the thread locked or flame war started so I deleted it.

I will say that I dont believe any boxer plays with the intention of selling their accounts.

It might be fun at first, but having to play in order to make money would probably burn a person out pretty fast. Can you imagine having to play WOW 6, 8 or 10+ hours every day?

As for the main topic, it seems to me that most people who ask/accuse us of selling accounts are looking for a reason to criticize multiboxing. When "they have no friends" or "they fail so bad they need five accounts" doesn't get the reaction they wanted, they can always fall back on accusing us of something that might get our accounts banned. So accusing multiboxers of selling accounts or gold will be popular amongst the knuckle-dragging crowd.

Hah! True. If I had a choice between working the counter at McDonalds and playing WOW all day...

Also another thing you hear quite often is: But isn't it expensive?
This is a very strange question, because all hobbies usually cost money and this is my hobby.

I had a player comment to me the other day "you must be loaded... five accounts?"

To me, it just indicates a young player. Hey, there was a time when $15 a month was not easy for me to come by, much less a whopping $75 a month.

Then, you know... I got a job.

This is what I encounter the most often. I do recall having to work an extra shift to pay for my everquest/dial-up way back when, so I can understand that POV.

Biggest problem if you want to sell it is that 99.9% of the buyers are just scammers. Really just asking to be scammed..

I probably would have sold my accounts when I quit if I wasn't so lazy.

When I was playing people used to message me all the time asking if they could buy one (and they only had trivial, but time consuming badge gear).
