someone made a good point, why grind through 40 games to get to b+ when he can pay $200 or whatever and make that much money in a couple hours of playing poker?

Totally worth it. If you can make 5x times more than what you would spend with useless noobashing.

No reason against it

Well, paying 200$ to play game for a couple of months is too much for the majority of people =P. Even if you make it back and more in poker, using the money so freely is not good o.O.

It's like saying why not pay $500 for a grape when you really want a grape and you can make $500 in 1/2 an hour on poker. Why not buy a pretty leaf too for $500.

Nevake and noobswrath...

If you have limited amount of time you can spend on both poker and starcraft, than playing worthless games equals losing money, as you could have been playing poker instead.
Its basic economics really, for the Guy that is buying the account, the opportunity cost of playing useless games is higher than paying for the account.


Its maybe true that he could have bought a better account for his money, but again he would have to invest time into research, contacting people etc, and the same principle applies.
