Once a consumer has obtained an item for themselves, it should be of zero concern to them if, when, or by what means other people aquire the product thereafter. Frankly, it is none of their damn business. Heck, I would go a step further and argue that much of the current pricing and sales model we see on the Bazaar can be attributed this behaviour. I brought the game twice so that I could have both the Atlantean Sword and the Royal Armor, and I would be 100% fine with Funcom selling these items or even giving them away.

In fact I would give one of mine to each member of the community now if I could. Because I am neither an envious or posessive person. And I would derive more satisfaction from seeing others enjoy them than the delusions of eloquence and grandeur that come with egotistical feelings of ‘exclusivity’.
