| It only has about 80 people, whereas many mainstream game companies have hundreds, even into the thousands. It's a small company running a free to play game that has 45 million players. The site receives tons of traffic, and they need tons of money to run the site. They also need money to pay their employees, keep the HQ running, and even pay for a huge of room of servers just for us. And I think most players are NBC, so they need money. |

| Yes, they make money from BC, but the money is always needed to run a website this large and a game with that many servers. There needs to be a constant flow of money. |

Ok, money is gained from allowing advertisements. Still, do you know how large the servers are? This large.

| Hats are the main source of trading, here. People don't trade shirts or pants. They trade gear and hats. |

| Ok, maybe this will help you. I am an adult who majored in economics, and advertising. What my forum post says, is 100% fact. |

| Because what I know is fact, and you probably have not had an economics class yet. Considering the way you're acting seems childish. No offense. |

| You're the one making baseless claims by saying your word is fact, without providing evidence. |
