where and how can you get gold?Follow

Ahh, the "you guys must all be geeks with hardons and I'm not!" argument that retards with no solid footing use. I wondered how long it would take for this to be used.

Apart from that, you seem to be assuming that anyone here has claimed that they will personally stamp out all gold buying/power leveling, etc. Nobody has. You've just admitted in that quote that buying gold is an illegal action and bad to do. You've also said that you think people doing it should be banned from the game. So, aren't you done? Why are you still talking? It's like you came into the forum saying that police make too much of a big deal about theft and that it's not so bad, then people here stated reasons why it's illegal and not to be supported and then you said, "of course it's bad!! But that's a risk that thieves take and it's not up to you little losers at home!!!oneoneeleven!"

I mean, you're drawing on a wholly different argument - about whether we should individually go out and make citizens arrests of the WoW gold buyers. And that's ... Not what anyone was talking about. It sounds like you've backtracked to admitting you agree with everyone that it's bad but still felt the need to kick up a stink about something and, so, used the "keyboard typing geeks" phrase, as if you being here differs from us. You're like a person dressed as a Star Trek character at a Sci-Fi convention, who looks over at a person dressed up as Chewbacca and says, "pfft! Look at that nerd!"

Ultimately? They have the same right that you have if you tell me not to **** in the corner of your apartment if you've invited me in for a cup of coffee. The space is yours, but the need to **** is mine. Why can you tell me not to do it? Because it is your apartment and I'm a guest.

In the case of World of Warcraft, perhaps even more than most computer games, you didn't buy a game. You thought you did? You didn't read the various restrictions and disclaimers carefully. You bought a right to participate in an activity hosted by Blizzard on their servers and the tools that allow you to do it.

With that said, contracts (even click wrap) are private law between the parties. Click wrap contracts may have their own peculiarities that can be attacked, but they have generally been held valid. As "law" they are no more and no less effective than any other law. A law against murder doesn't prevent murders, they happen all the time; however, the law does define murder and defines the potential consequences of ignoring the law. Blizzard's EULA/ToS do the same. They can't come to Hackme Enterprises and jerk the keyboard out of Wiley's hands, but they can ban your account if you hire him to power level you. This is in accordance with the pissing in the corner example. Even if I do successfully **** in the corner of your apartment, it is your apartment and you have a right to ask me to leave and never return.

Nothing is stopping you, but what should be stopping you is your integrity and your respect for fellow players who have also paid to enjoy a particular experience. If that is lost on you, feel free to abandon the discussion and stop pissing in the corner.
