Grays, also, don't really provide anything to anyone other than just to collect random things (Steamy Romance Novel comes to mind). Which is why people usually just say to vendor them, but hey, if it brings a couple pieces of gold, I'm all in. =P

Its all perception and player psychology. We may not, mostly remember our younger days - but new toons, whether in the hands of experienced players to true newbies, "die" a lot more often that we do. Just like us, they want the best chance they can win (or buy). That piddly little piece of +70 armor or a 10DPS weapon is to them a glowing opportunity - and while it may be a pathetic "grey", it has the lovely advantage of being in their price range.

And of course there are those of us who buy low-priced green items to DE. They overlap in cost with the grays and mistakes happen.

Not that I've ever done that... Smiley: um

I always found that gold farming was always the best way to get gold.

I don't know what you people are talking about, but I can't think of any quest in-game that gives just gold.

After 80 or so, that's about all quests give.

Look at the links and you will see my response was tongue-in-cheek :-p

Gold is easily made by the shuffle. Get some Elementium and make thousands of gold in no time. It has never been so easy to make gold as it is now that's why gold is almost worthless for china farmers.

I've been buying and reselling greens off the AH for 350g for the popular transmog sets. At that price and just doing it casually, I've made 45 000g in the last 30 days. It's easy to do and doesn't require a ton of gold to start up.

You mentioned selling "sets." Is there a way to package all the pieces of a given set together to place in the AH?

Since reading this thread I've been putting grey items I usually vendored on the AH and it is amazing what pieces sell. *Really* glad I read the input from this thread.

Sidenote: I also re-read the thread regarding addons and just installed my first two, besides the simple coord one I had: Auctionator (LOVE IT!!) and Altoholic (LOVE IT TOO!!)

Is it even possible to use grey & white items for transmog?

Unfortunately no, but if you're on a server where there isn't a lot of green gear on the AH just putting 5 or 6 pieces of the same set up can help at once them move a bit faster. I like to think of it as people paying me to camp the AH for them.

Nope. Also include all those low level green/blue ranged weapons with no stats on them... Smiley: frown

Thank you...I didn't think so, but wanted to ask in case. I will put a group of the same set, especially greys and whites up at the same time next time I have a set.

I understand the reasoning from Blizzard's/the game's point of view on the transmog restrictions; it would just be fun to be able to go into, for example, a mine wearing the mining cap and other "adventuring" attire I've collected and still be able to fight. I "could" wear such items I suppose when farming really low level areas. As a plate wearer, so many of the "fun" things I have can't be transmogged. Smiley: frown

Maybe I'll join a rp guild eventually and get to wear some of the fun, unusual, pretty, strange items I have.

That was "computer-ese" for, "I love this idea." The ^^ were referring to your idea and I added a few more for emphasis.

There is everything wrong with buying gold.

Also, you're moving dangerously close to violating this site's rules. I recommend you take your RMT support somewhere else.

I do not buy/sell gold or work for a company that does. I was replying to the OP s post and the first response to his post. There is nothing wrong with buying gold because you or anyone on this site says it is.

Don't buy gold. End of @#%^ing story.

And if you want me to get lengthy, let me just point something out you seem to be unable to grasp: We say it's wrong to buy gold not because we got hacked and hate the world. We say it's wrong because it's against the rules set down by Blizzard and will get you banned. There's also the Chinese sweatshop reason for why we call it bad, but we don't even have to go there.

Buying gold is bad. Don't do it. End of story again.

BUYING advancement, whether gold or XPs or some fancy-schmancy armor or weapon, is cheating - period! Its no different from an amateur sports team hiring a professional ringer - you'e using external wealth to circumvent the rules and gain an unfair advantage over those players who play by the rules. I'm not talking about legitimately earned in-game gold - that's all part of the rewards system everybody shares.

There are always, in any competitive endeavor, lazy and unscrupulous individuals who see nothing wrong with going outside the rules to get ahead. Not surprisingly, many of these same folks who bray to the heavens about their "achievements".

Buying gold and botting hurts the game. As a website we stand with blizzard in condemning this activity.

MrNational, you're welcome to discuss the ideas of buying gold and botting and whether they are wrong or not, but keep any discussion on a purely theoretical level. Any direction on how to do these activities is not tolerated on this website.

What remains to be seen is whether letting well-heeled players BUY significant advantage outside the game, whether from Blizzard or hacker X, will not kill the game in the short run. I could very easily drop a couple hundred USD on illegal buffs, which would make me some sort of superman - but then can I say I won through my own skill and smarts, And if I did, what's the incentive for the younger player going up against me - the one who can't whip out the VISA card because (s)he want to whup up on the guy they can't beat otherwise.?

I love dogs - showed and bred them for years. But when you do so, you have to understand that you might breed the most wonderful specimen of the breed ever seen, but will never win major awards commensurate with her greatness if you can't drop thousands of bucks on handlers, hotels, airfare and a dozen other things. Many potential competitors never really come to terms with this and most don't stay that long. I do't know how good an analogy it is, but buying an advantage in a game, whether in-game currency or hyper weapons, strikes me as the same sort of attitude. Winning is everything and I'm better than you because I'm richer.

Or put another way< why do you think every baseball fan who isn't a Yankees fan hate the Yankees?

The condom story is old and long since debunked, at least as far as the implication that recycled means used. Just because something got e-mailed to you doesn't make it factually accurate.

Quote:

They do. They have their right to design a game, promote it, and make all the money they can from it -- just as Blizzard does. There is no corresponding obligation for Blizzard to let people make money from their franchise and that generally flies in the face of IP law.

I registered to give the OP ~~a honest reply that is not clouded by misinformed people and one-sided judgements~~ an answer that sounds suspiciously like a botter justifying his actions.

I missed the links to the figures that support your assertions about particular behaviors such as "most of the bots" or "majority of the gold".

I'm going to bring up a point in this discussion that probably doesn't mean much to a lot of people, but means a lot to me and is a big part of why I would never buy gold, bot, hack, or anything like that. Integrity. To me doing anything like that would completely ruin the integrity of the game and completely devalue any sort of accomplishment I feel in the game. I play the game to have the best gear, dps, achievements, mounts, and whatever else. It's not because I want to feel like I'm better than anyone else, it's just because that what I find fun.

I could never feel that sense of accomplishment if I knew in my mind it felt tainted. With how many people do cheat and buy gold this point may not mean much, but to me it means a lot. In an MMO keeping a sense of morals and ethics should mean something.
