The Se7en Capital Sins in MMORPGS

Lust
In case you haven't been to the news section of mmosite then breaking news, adult mmorpg's are here. Of course is not enough to look up the skirts of other players' virtual avatars, now you can have sex with them with your virtual avatar on the center of the most populated town in the game.
There was a recent article in mmosite, that talked about a pedophile ring in Second-Life where underage avatars perfomed sexual acts for a price.

Gluttony
This guys just can't get enough, wither it is gathering resources until they need to make mule accounts to hold their ever-growing inventory or just buying their item of choice out of every player in the market; they just can't have enough. They rarely ever spend on anything, they rather sit for 10 minutes while their health/mana recovers than spending 2 potions.

Greed
Money, it doesn't matter if your game calls it Adena, Penya, Gold, Coins, Dalant, the more these guys have the better. There are guilds made based on a in-game business model, where their main mission is to make gold.
Here are the gold buyers who support our beloved gold farmers, they are willing to trade their mom's purse money for in-game currency.

Sloth
If you can recall from Are Game Publishers Listening to Your Ideas? overriders are the outspoken type of lazy players. They don't want to do quests for good items, don't want to farm for experience or items. This guys are willing to follow you from start to end of the they asking you "Can you power level me?". And God forbid you are a Game Master because once they notice they are going to harass you asking you for freebies, mounts, and anything that requires effort to obtain.

Wrath
Anger can make you lose your head, and in mmorpgs it is e-a-s-y to get angry. Unless you are really lucky, you will at one moment or another break one of your weapons trying to upgrade it, a player you trusted will betray you, you will get disconnected before picking up your loot, a noob player will follow you around and annoy you, your account will get hacked and looted, and... the list goes on.... Of course this will not all happen at once, but once it does, you will explode, and I hope my avatar is not around you when it happens.

Envy
You selfish creature, you cant tolerate someone else having something because you want it also. Yes, you will try to hide it with excuses like "He/She doesn't deserve it" , "My alt character has a better weapon than his Epic". But it's useless, inside out you are burning to have the item that is reason for your envy.
And in our sin parade, here comes the farmers again, exploiting your inability to let it go, this guys will sell you the Epics you need to fulfill your desire. But it is just an illusion, who do you want to fool?, everybody knows you couldn't have kill the boss monster for that weapon by yourself.
Pride
Welcome to the noob zone, even if they are only level 1 they are throwing threats at you as if they were dime a dozen. These guys will rather walk all over the map and get owned by mobs a million times than ask for directions. They just logged in, but they have the game all figured out, they have megalomaniac tendencies and tend to hunt other new players to preach their greatness.
