It is a digital currency that can be produced at will in infinite quantities and be transferred/given/acquired in inordinate amounts. It is exclusively exchanged for imaginary information that costs nothing to produce, and can be produced and exchanged infinitely at no cost to the one doing so.
It's 300 little runecoins that the vast majority of people wouldn't have bought anyway. My panties aren't twisted, I'm clearly just saying "it's not a big deal." I didn't even know about this event.
The in-game gold represents time and effort, something runecoins do not and can not. The little partyhats represent exclusivity and rarity (albeit entirely arbitrary) that will not change.
Sit down and get the cannon out of your rectum you pedantic ape. Little mister Reddit Crusader trying to validate the worth of fake digital currency that is exchanged for ugly cosmetics in a dying game as if it somehow can hold a candle to the USD or pound in relevance, value or importance. Not only that, you became OVERLY hostile over something arbitrary.
Go clean the cheetos off your desk, it's fake money to buy fake hats.
