Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

RMT and item shops have hit most major games in the genre and we are seeing our first trickle of it in Aion with the new Holiday Ascension Pack being offered this winter. I think many can agree that selling fluff items to those who wish to fork over the cash for them isn't terribly harmful, but where is the line drawn?

It was announced this last week that NCsoft will be offering an Aion Holiday Ascension Pack. This pack will have a few little goodies in it that combine both fun fluff items and a few minor items that will enhance playability. Armor dye, life potions, a lodas amulet that boosts experience gain, and running scrolls round out the little pack that will be available for purchase this holiday season. While I can say that these things are fairly harmless (assuming that the pack is limited one to an account) this paves the way for future marketing which may put up items that aren't so harmless.
