MMOReport Mention in Microtransaction Discussion

Questions of Mention (noted during the question session)
desvetudo: "What are your thoughts on race-specific abilities?"
Seth: "Well, Microtransactions shouldnt give certain players an advantage over one another because of their success in real life. Dont we all play these games to get away from real life? We want to go somewhere where we all start out equal, something we cant do in real life."
Chronium: "I said yes to in game currency because it is the best and easiest way to effectively deal with gold farmers. If you offer a official service to buy gold at the gold farmers prices then you effectively got rid of there need to sell gold in TOR. No gold farming spam is more important to me then whining about it whether it should be allowed or not."
indu.san: How do you see the roll of darthhater after release? Will you evolve as a site with the game as it progresses, or are you primarily concerned about functioning before release as a source of information and a forum based on confirmed information/speculation?
Aflixion: Whats your favorite aspect of SW:TOR thats been announced so far? Whats your favorite Star Wars game overall?
Zihn: Would you ask BW to include the holonet in the game, and give you a presence on it? Imagine the possibilities
