There was a time before cash shops when this was true in a lot of games. Even WoW had some really rare and hard to get items that couldn't be bought in any real way. I guess you could pay people to play your account, but no real money existed in the game.
In .hack, the angel wing character got that as one of two people who won a special challenge.
In real MMOs, it's just the whales with a lot of cash lol
