Guess it's just a matter of opinion, but to me using out of game resources (like money) to enhance your position in a MUD isn't much different than using out of game resources (like a computer) to enhance your rating in an online chess club or something. There are folks willing to engage in such activities, but what's the point?
I can see why a game may wish to sell advantages to it's players... they could probably use the money. But what I don't really understand is why the player would ever want to buy them. So your purchased data string has bigger numbers than the other player's data strings ... so what? I find it very difficult to understand what satisfaction folks can get from engaging in such practices.
