alright, you guys still haven't adressed my last point...why the HELL does he ask for donations? fg costs him NOTHING. how is buying fg ANY different from donating from his perspective? why would he ask anyone to donate when he can click a button (figuratively, i'm guessing it's all automated) and give them an equivalent amount of fg? it's the DONTIONS that are BS. the actual concept of fg, real money, etc is a little more hazy.

I dont see a problem with asking for donations.
Also, i think, not 100% sure, that he has a fg "bank" with a set amount of fg in it. Whenever you buy a bold/red title or play the raffle or buy yourself a colored name, it all goes back into the bank. That would also account for the sometimes fluctuating price of fg.

Because he wants to make money. It's pretty simple.
When a plumber comes over to your house and fixes your sink he charges you money. Do you get mad at him because it didn't cost him anything?
You'r paying for a service. It's a pretty common thing to do in life, so get used to it.

You only have to donate if u want a cdkey for his hack program. I've never donated but I'm up to close to 5k fg from selling stuff.
You, CAN, by the way sell your fg for $$. You can't do it via jsp but u CAN. For instance, lets say for every $1 u donate Paul will give u 1fg... well, just like anything else if I'm willing to sell at a discount of say .75 per fg then I could get someone I know to give me $$ via paypal for my fg.
Like Dao said, it is a way for someone to accumulate e-wealth quickly without having to trade away mules full of stuff. It's time-value of money.
I love playing the game when I'm dueling or even sometimes when I'm clearing an act. But, I hate muling, mf'ing, trading, etc just to get the items I want in order to play. So, it might be worth it to me to pay actual $$ in order to become instantly where I want to be.
Look, we all pay money in one way or another to play. So, either take up kick the can (I won't go into cost of can rofl) or stfu and break out your Visa and have some pixel fun!

That's also against the rules. I believe Zolas lost all his FG because of that?

Yeah you need to be super sneaky if you're going to try selling fg.
I'm sure it's possible though.

Anything is possible if they don't know about it. Paul, I'm sure, is pretty protective of his fg economy and wants the $$ to stay in his pocket. But, there are ways around it cuz I've seen ppl buy something on jsp for fg and resell on ebay for $$ (until ebay discontinued the sale of D2 items).
I wouldn't wanna take the chance of losing fg, but, u understand that bored kids nowadays can figure a million ways to ruin a game LOL. I play HALO2 with these kids that obviously ahve hacked boxes because they seem to be stronger than everyone else x2-3. So, some idiot is probably making a fortune selling xbox hacks to kids just as Paul is making $$ selling Diablo hacks and providing an online trading arena.
