I just spent about 45 mins reading most of the forum thread on the AH entitled: Everyone Has a Moral Duty to Be AH Savvy.
Wow, what a great education; even the disputes were fascinating. This is grown up thread. No drama queens or flames, just pure intelligent discussion of the dynamics of in and out of game economic systems. THe discussion pulled in the WoW in-game Auction House, the out-of-game user-developed third party Addon called Auctioneer, and the oft disparaged 'gold farmer' operations which gather and sell virtual gold outside the game via the web.
The quality of the discussion, the involvement of real world money and time, suggest to me that this might stand as further proof of the reality of this alternate world.
