The two are totally different, IMHO.
Not bashing WoW, I played it a lot and really enjoyed it (at times) but it's a total life stealer.
Now buying WoW gold with real money is completely retarded. First of all, it's supporting Chinese gold farmers who 90% of the time generate the gold they sell with hacked accounts, so buying WoW gold is really supporting the robbing of your fellow WoW players. That's why Blizzard will ban your account if you get caught. Plus getting gold in WoW now is SO easy, why would you need to buy it?

I would say for the most part I do agree with everything you said and that is pretty much how I live. But people you meet while gaming are no less real than the one's you meet face to face. I've developed relationships with online friends that run very deep so much so that the wife and I have even gone on vacation with people that at the time I only knew online but had been friendly with for years. An online persona allows annonymity to everyone, including people you interact with on forums like this. I trust myself to be able to read how truthful somebody I meet online is and try to surround myself online and in real life with the type of people I want to be around.
