I wasn't cosidering the token as part of the equation at all. As we both said, the numbers back then were probably smaller due to the difficulty and generally real chance of getting scammed. Nowadays the whole thing os much more automated, safe and verified due to big organized communities behind the boosting scene. Token made the process of exchanging real money with in game gold just simpler - i assume most deals back in the days were made with real money, just wasn't happening through the game itself.
