If I ever took a notion, I would have no compunction against trading my cash for my time in an online game. It becomes a very simple analysis -- why spend 10 in-game hours working for an item that I can spend 1 hours worth of my salary to obtain? Pretty simple if you ask me.

Waitwaitwait. Isn't the whole point of things like experience points and changeable equipment that you get more powerful as time passes? And isn't getting more powerful, indeed, the whole point of the game? So what do people do after they have bought themselves omnipotence and cannot get any more powerful? Kill the same monster over and over again until the seas boil and The Kraken riseth?
If you have to spend 10 in-game hours to get to the pont where you can enjoy the game, it can't be a very good game.
