cd-key at a 3rd party website, (they also sell gold). Used the same password there


That was the best laugh I had all day .....



Gold Buying. Ya Im with Fur on this one, I can't stand it when peole think its ok to use Real Life cash to get an edge in the game.

[Ualaa]

From your stand point, buying gold is no big deal.
You give up a bit of cash, your own choice to do so, and get fair value (or you wouldn't have purchased).

But the gold has to come from somewhere.
One would hope it was from farming.
But stealing gold from accounts being hacked is a lot easier, cheaper on their part etc.

Even if they were to generate the gold entirely from playing the auction house.
And from farming etc.
The economy is changed compared to people just playing the game.
With more gold in the economy prices change, which impacts everyone who plays whether they buy gold or not.

If no one was willing to buy gold at any price, the assholes who hack and/or keylog accounts would leave the game.
I mean if they get nothing for their time, why do it?

Anyone who buys gold, is essentially telling the companies to continue to steal their gold from legitimate players and to ruin the playing experience of others.
If you buy gold, you're part of the problem, because you're creating a market for their stolen virtual currencies.

The game would be better off, if every last player refused to buy gold.
It's not going to happen, but it is pretty much the only cure.
That or to have Blizzard go after players who buy, as well as the sellers.

Even if its stolen gold the gold got into the economy through ligit means at some point.



If the gold comes from ligit means how does it impact you or me if person A has the gold or person B has the gold?

What so bad about purchasing gold? This website sells CD keys for 15.97 each, Blizzard sells for 19.99 each. with the saved up money from buying 5 cd keys there I have 20 bucks that I have saved.

With 20 bucks I can go out to eat, or see a movie, or even buy 2500 gold. Sorry if saving money is a bad thing these days, you know with the crap economy and all. Anyway I had high expectations for this website, but apparently I am going to move on to another for my future purchases.

Anyway I buy gold cause I want to. Its alot easier for me to enjoy the game without having to be broke all the time. Not to mention I hate tradeskilling, I am a busy person irl, but I could always take some time to do em I guess. But I simply just hate it.

EverQuest has simply destroyed any chance of tradeskilling with another game again.

You can play the game how you want to, but don't knock another person for how they like playing a game. As multiboxer's you should respect that. Since I am pretty sure a lot of you use that same sentence to people constantly harassing you in game.

Jesus Christ. LoL. What's so bad about buying gold? After your account gets hacked you still ask that?
I don't usually get nasty w/ people but fucking Christ.

I guess the humor of a guy owning 36 accounts at a cost of $400 a month complaining about someone using RL monies to get an edge in the game was missed....


Anyway seems to me the more people playihg the game even if they are farmers the better for all. I dont buy or sell gold (or accounts with characters on them) but I cant see the downside.


Ya I can see the point about account hacking but everyting someone posts about their account getting hacked they always did something that wasn't smart in the first place.... Just shut off the service that allows other computers to remotly access yours .... bang 70 percent less hacked accounts.

I purchased a WoW CD Key online at a 3rd party website. And I used the same password of my battle.net account there. So earlier when I went to go post on the World of warcraft forums, there was a level 1char on the select character box. On some random server. I didnt make.

So me purchasing a cd-key at a 3rd party website, (they also sell gold). Used the same password there, they got access to my account and did w/e they do.

For Khatovar, no idea how it got quickly banned or what not. But is that my fault? So don't come at me, for that not like I have control on how blizzard quickly bans people. But when I called another rep again. He told me there was 3 reports on the a level 1 character. So got me.

So, you basically bought an account from a gold seller that you apparently frequent and you want to get up OUR ass about being suspicious? ROFL You got banned because you're paying for these low-life gold sellers to use your account to spam. And guess what....they have the physical CD key, they can do it any damned time they want.

Maybe it's the lack of sleep talking, but OMFG ROFL
