Geez, how desperate do you have to be?

But I know the feeling, a decade ago when I was in highschool I loved playing games online with a buddy but he found a girlfriend and I was left with nobody to play with and it sucked.

Ok, with the schedule this guy expects his "employee" to keep, how can he afford him to pay that much yet still play? Doesn't he/she have a job?

Yeah what he's not telling you is that you have to install a webcam over your T.V. and play without your pants.

Pass.

I just read that and am glad to say that I did not understand a word in it.

The "...ASAP (like NOW)" part is what makes this legit!

I have someone in my English class writing an essay on "whether or not people should be paid to play video games". The teacher looked at him like "wtf?". In my head I'm like "they have those, they are called game testers".

Then he goes on to say "like the real leagues (nhl, nba, etc.), but instead the game versions of those".

HAHA

This is a scam by the way.

If there is a market for it, people will be played to play video games.

In fact, I'd bet there are already professional gamers getting sponsorship deals to play. Some may even be able to make a living off of it.

That exists, it's one of the highest rated televised "sports" in Korea but they aren't sports games, it's like Starcraft.

Oh yeah I watched a show about a year ago on this. They have teams that compete in LARGE competitions and it is very competitive. The best players are treated like royalty, multi million dollar contracts, groupies outside the hotels, never having to pay for a thing, they star in commercials for lots of products etc. It is nuts.
And the biggest thing is once they slip and start to suck they are cut and shunned.

If you are desperate for money and pro at PVP, sell your account. Few months ago, I sold my account which had a Deadly Gladiator title, Frost Wyrm mount and Full Season 6 gear with over 100k Honor kills for about $800~USD.

A friend of mine sold his Rogue with both legendary swords and made $3500 USD.

Crazyness.

He does realize that you can't buy arena armor, or weapons, with a 2's rating anymore right?

That would be funny if this was actually true and he hired someon,e got 1850, and couldn't buy his weap
