but most people will tell you that you are not really paying for the item in those games. you pay for the fun with you hobby that you have.

Nope, you can have perfectly fine fun in those games without having an ultra rare skin. Their are prestige objects and I think thats a good reason to not use them as counter arguments. Domain names are a way better example that people can understand better. Whats amazon.com worth? Its just virtual. Furthermore, your name is just virtual or information, is it worthless to you? Would you be fine if I just named you Rumpelstiltskin from now on? Non-physical objects have (personal) value and there is no reason why there should be an upper bound unless it has a physical form.
if i have to pay you just so you name me by my name, then by all means go ahead and give me names.
every hobby makes fun even with shitty gear. people pay for better stuff to enjoy it more. same goes for gaming.
some might buy expensive stuff for hobbies to compensate but this is the same for gaming and offline stuff.
