I will give you another chance.
I did read the New Zealand as Australia, this comes from speed reading through topics online because there are so many of them and it leads to bad comprehension. I was answering the question why Australia would see boosts in sales, using sociological data. So how else I am I meant to conclude your counter-argument of 'I don't feel compelled' as something other then saying because you don't that means everyone else out there wouldn't either?
How else am I meant to read this as anything but a weak counter argument to the forbidden fruit factor?
Also how is this pointing out that the original question was about New Zealand, and not Australia? To which I have to say the only answer would be because they would by in New Zealand and ship over here to be sold illegally at profit.
I also assumed your age cause you claimed to speak for every Australian teenage gamer out there because you said your mind was one. I could easily make that claim myself if we where not to take age into account, I was a teenager once and a gamer to boot. I know for a fact that during that period of my life something being 'banned' made me more curious as to why. I learned a lot about censorship, how much BS the government throws out there to support its position and how much damage such positions actually cause. It made your argument of 'I didn't so no one else would' more pronounced as you now where claiming to speak for this group.
I had to point out how pathetic such an argument is, and then your response was insults which makes it even more pathetic. Now you want to try and make it about content, which the original question was never even touching on nor was my follow up posts. All I saw this as was an attempt to divert the subject away from the fact that my answer, be it to the wrong question, was valid and that you didn't want to address it any more cause you could not support your counter argument in any way.
As for content: It never was about MMOs but gaming in general. There is nothing in a MMO which would make it difficult to classify, nor is there anything that would prevent the board from just classifying it and telling Sony, blizzard and the likes that this is now the classification to print on the box.
What this will do though is set president that could very easily include OTHER online games then just these unclassified MMOs. Bad laws work like that you know, make a legal argument and then expand it to cover more then what a rational person would originally have thought the boundaries where. Never trust politicians and law makers not to try and 'back door' issues, particularly when they are self proclaimed crusaders hitting against a legal wall.
It could very easily force every game to classify online play separately from their single player base. What keeps a lot of violent games on the shelves is the fact they only have violence as their only real 'negative' and so fall within the M15 rating. This is causing a lot of crusaders to chomp at their bits, as they want to ban these games but can not do so legally. All they need is the legal grounds for a games online play to be 'classifiable,' in other words, all they need to do is close that loophole, then they will have another shot at getting these games banned.
Considering the mentality of online gamers, sad to say, they might achieve a legal argument to include the likes of coarse language, sexual references or a wide range of other tags to the classification of a online game. Having had many years to deal with bad politicians and the scams they run I am very doubtful of this latest 'loophole closing.' Twice so given how many games they leave in purgatory simply because they can't be classified, while fighting to make it so they can never be classified, though yet another loophole in the law.
So yes, I do fear this is a back door attempt to get a wider range of games banned as MMOs are, as yourself pointed out, very tame. I have to ask what do these crusaders benefit from getting online games, in general, to be classifiable. Clearly it is another shot to get a wider range of games banned which they where not legally allowed to do so the first time around.
