omg, that sucks for that idiot, just lost 500 bucks

[Duane]

Wow, don't see someone get owned that hard very often.

[TheHamburglar]

aww thread deleted =(

[warbringer]

I'm too curious, what was it?

[Talos]

The topic starter was a Blood Elf Hunter with 8/8 T6
armorying him did show 8/8 T6 gear

he said he just migrated and was looking for a guild to do endgame raiding with

first 10 posts contained people criticising his gear, gemming, hitrating, etc etc etc
basicly telling him he may have 8/8 T6 but he was a bad bad geared raider

post 12 contained a person showing a link to craigslist which contained an add, describing EXACTLY the char + gear the topic starter wore
basicly the add was a account selling for 500 dollar for a 8/8 T6 hunter + a blue geared paladin.

the next 16 pages contained people from various servers laughing at him, mocking him, and hoping the GM's would ban his ass for account buying



way to pay 500 dollar for a ban ;)

He has been banned and the thread removed. It was a good read though. Looked like people from every server checked in just to laugh at the guy ;)

[FtGeno]

I was surprised at how fast the thread was deleted but yeah, he was owned hard.

My biggest oops was jumping off the aldor rise part in shat city on my druid and spamming aqua travel form instead of flight form and wondering why I kept getting the "you can't use that here" error msg...I died before realisign my mistake :(

[Tasty]

Oooh I recently (read: month or two ago) bound my Trinket/Power Infusion/Pain Suppression macro to the same key as my mages Trinket/AP/Pom/Pyro key. My mages pom/pyro/ice block in the air a lot...

[valkry]

So what was the result?

This guy paid $500 for the character, transfer fee, and a name change only to get banned the first day. His oops was bigger ;)

[Tasty]

So what was the result? Mages live priest dies :P

[Siaea]

How about mounting and running off the scryer rise...only one didn't mount because she was still moving and made it to the bottom a lot faster than the others o.O

[Bradster]

I never really understood the buying of accounts. It seems this guy was a on PVE server. That said after you complete all those tasks what is their left to do? If you skip the entire game and everything is done, what's left for you to do? I never really understood that or at least see how that could be fulfilling for long.

[Nepida]

My biggest oops was mapping a macro to F4, then trying to use the mod:alt function :)

[OogaJiggaWooga]

Hopefully you tried it out before you actually needed it ;)

[zanthor]

My biggest oops was saying "I do" when I really should have said "Bitch, get the fuck out of this church before..."

Anyhow, how bout them Yankees?

Maybe he wanted to play WoTLK without starting from scratch and had money to spend ?(

[aNiMaL]

well, he got what he deserved tbh,
it's because of char buyers like him that we get mistaken for char sellers.

RTFM before buying something 8|

Really? To be honest, I find it distasteful of people to go at this like a rabid mob looking for others to make fun of. What really bothers me about this is that just because Blizzard disallows account reselling due to tax/security reasons mainly, the blizzard fanboys have somehow come to the conclusion that people who buy accounts deserve being humiliated and made fun of.

I'm not sure what's really wrong about buying/selling accounts, ethically/game-wise/etc.

I'm not sure what's really wrong about buying/selling accounts, ethically/game-wise/etc.It's his own fault for wasting the money on a non-tangible item. People that buy accounts, who are instantly 70, have no idea how to play that class, and have really no idea how to gear up. Not to mention it's against the Terms of Service, which everyone agrees to.

[mmcookies]

iirc, his post sounded like he wanted to show off
and that's why the rest of'em started ragging on him

a 500 bucks epeen booster maybe?

[valkry]

Anyone else get asked a lot in AV and other places if you want to sell/trade one of your accounts/chars? I get asked at least once per game then asked "why?" when I say no...have a fucking guess, I roled these guys to play, not to sell!

It's idiots thinking you are an account seller and your greed will make you admit to it to make a sale. People don't understand there is no money in this activity and that we are having fun with our hobby. My answer is "Why would you want one of my crappy characters? You must be horrible if you can't level in a game this easy". Turn it around on them so they go away feeling like the dumbass they are ;)

Seriously tho.

If I'ld go buy a microwave for $500,
and the manual says "not for pet drying", I try, my pet dies and my microwave now has an odd odor.
Poor pet, I agree, nothing funny about it,
but people would laugh at me for being so stupid.
The company would tell me to RTFM and they won't replace the microwave due to self inflicted damage by using it in a way which was warned for in the manual.
If they could they'ld probably ban me from buying any electronic part for the rest of my life.

IMO, the whole thing which is wrong with account buying/selling is the following:
Ethically:
These days people rather have easy peasy crap and refuse to work for the things they want to accomplish.
Game Wise:
Hey a T6 huntard in lfg, he must know his class,
but he just favours to hunt sheep somehow.
It screws up guild recruitment aswell.

I leveled to many character to 70 while singleboxing, I have to agree,
enjoying the fun I had leveling(singleboxing) isn't really there anymore.

But it's Blizzard rules, and that's not a fanboy comment,
it's the same response you'll get when talking about banned for accounts sharing, banned for spam in /2, banned for botting and whatever things which cross the ToS.

Lol nice sig. When I die, I want 'No you can't have my stuff' written on my tombstone :D

[hardcoded]

I'm not sure what's really wrong about buying/selling accounts, ethically/game-wise/etc.From a sociological perspective, societies need to enforce their values by denouncing those that do not share their social norms and mores.

American gaming culture dictates that when in a game, everyone is on equal footing, and outside (real life) factors should not influence the game. This is one of the reasons that people claim that multiboxing is against the spirit of the game, as multiboxers pay more for the game than others. It is a valid point, but I tend to see it as some others do, as a different play style. (personally I wouldn't play wow without multiple characters)

The main point being that by not sharing the value that money should not influence the game, that the person must be denounced.

Funny enough, this is not actually true in all societies from what I am told, as I have heard that in Asian cultures the opposite is expected -- that you should be able to purchase in-game status/items/etc for money.

Dunno, kinda a long and intellecualized explanation, but that is my understanding of such issues.

[falcao]

maybe, but i will spend money in a good hardware for multiboxing and buy 5 new fresh acc using RaF :P

bettter choice IMHO
