What's causing all the inflation?

I couldnt care where my purchase comes from. If Im in a supermarket looking at Stereos for instance and there is 2 exactly the same stereo's but with different prices due to where they originated..... I, along with many other people will buy the cheaper one.

All of the legit/illegit arguments are ridiculous. Everyone supports hackers. Anything you put in your fm store, can be brought by hackers. The cheap scrolls you buy in the fm, could have been be bought from hackers (due to them not really caring what price it is). Or shock, the guy that buys your overpriced glove attack could have got the money from a character that hacked, thus making you receive "evil illegit money", so even though you are "legit" you cant be sure that all of your funds are legit.

While I know there are some dodgy sites out there, there are also some legit ones in terms of business and management, ones that sell all kinds of game cards, nx cards, mesos, that use legitimate payment and refund services. The only illegit thing is that Nexon calls them illegit.

Anyone who knew me way back in 2005 will know that back then I was in the position that a lot of you are in. I HATED hackers with a passion, I hated meso selling sites. But years down the track Ive realised that people can play the game however they choose, if something can save them money and cut down on the time they spend on the game then that is a bonus.

I know there is a lot of people that totally disagree with me and have strong view points and beliefs about this. I just wanted to share the other side. One day, you could wake up and will be like "Wholy crap I wasted a good year or six months of my life on something that really doesnt matter". Its a game, its pixelated money, its pixelated items. If your so into the free market and buying low and selling high and it matters that much to you, then why not go actually make a real profit and play the real life stock market. At least its something more worthwhile.

And I agree with you in a way about being "too lazy" its not so much lazy, its more of why waste my time, if there is a cheaper and easier way to get what I want. If I get banned, then great, then I finally have no excuse to even casually be sucked into this game.

No, to fit your comparison, there'd be one in store for $85, and one on the street corner for $15 (the same system). Both are brand new, and both suppliers have a large quantity of said systems. It is fairly obvious the street corner stereos are not legal, but based on your posts you'd buy them anyway vice the ones in the store. Your original comparison was blatantly biased to suit your argument.
