This one was different. She pm'd me and said hi, and we talked about getting to 86. Eventually, she said she was a chinese gold seller, and asked me if I had ever bought mesos. I said no, and that I wasn't planning on it. We then talked about her job as a meso seller (which she despises, with the poor hours, low wages, and abuse from players of a game, that she doesn't even know how to play) as well as her aspirations of graduating college and moving out of China. It was quite fascinating to me, and really put a human face to a practice that's been so widely demonized by the maple community. This experience only reinforced my opinion that, yes, the meso-selling industry is harmful, but that personalized attacks against meso-sellers (a simple report will do) are not justified.

This really touched me and I don't know why.

Interesting read, I thought it was going to be really boring and stupid going in. Thanks for proving me wrong~

I'm touched o_O I never saw those emotionless spammers as people. They just say the same thing over and over again.

Wow. Dude, I didn't know about this. True, it may still not be true, but I can see this happening.

Well, I, myself, just ignored meso sellers, maybe I crack a few comments here and there, but they never leave my mouth, or typed on the keyboard.

I'm not sure if this is spam or not. Can someone clarify for me?
