No one ever believes Anet gets money twice. You don't seem to comprehend that the gems you buy with gold don't just appear. They were still bought, by someone else, at some other time. But nonetheless, the gems you recieve were paid for in cash, to Anet. So when someone buys 800 gems with his ingame gold, Anet still - at some point before - got 10 bucks for it. Just like they do when you buy the 800 gems with 10 bucks yourself..Yeah, nice job assuming what I comprehend. I KNOW that they were bought by someone else. When I convert gold -> gems, my account receives gems that someone else purchased. Some argue that by me doing so, Anet is still getting money from MY transaction when the initial gem purchase by a third person has already been completed.
