There is zero reason for a virtual currency to exist, except to jew more money out of people by letting all that spare change idly sit in your account and cash in on shit like exchange fees as well. No other company should get away with it either.

SL's approach towards item ownership, modification thereof and other rights was a very elaborate system that worked on paper... except you can still just as easily grab a modded client and rip whatever the fuck you want. Then proceed to upload it to the game again and claim it as your own with no way for them to prove otherwise. 

There is no trade-off, it's a stupid waste of time and resources to try solve an ownership problem that billion-dollar companies have tried and failed to do. You are stupid to think otherwise, and clearly don't understand how computers exchange data.
