Minecraft "Selling a diamond sword on a server IS selling part of the game and has always violated the TOS"

Recently on twitter, Marc_IRL said this quote: ""Selling a diamond sword on a server IS selling part of the game and has always violated the TOS."

He's pretty much saying selling things on servers is not allowed.

Thoughts?

Its been a while since I haven't been to Twitter.

 

OMG
BUYCRAFT IS GOING TO BE ILLGAL
CELEBRATE!!! THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ANY DONATORS!
PEOPLE LIKE ME WILL NO LONGER HAVE TO COWER IN FEAR OF THE OP DONATORS

Wait... Who's Mark_IRL again?

 

I think he's the customer support manager.

 

I definitely disagree with him, they aren't selling 'part of the game' to the players, they are just giving them rewards for helping them pay the server through donations. If buycraft was illegal, pretty much all server that run through donations (can't think of one which doesn't) the community would be dead. Not all of us have the money to waste on their fancy realms servers.

 

Yeah if buycraft wasn't here for us to donate to J&H they wouldn't be able to run the server due to costs, I mean sure it is kind of dividing the game up and selling. But people need the money to run servers.
