Guild Wars 2

Since the last few patches they suddenly reappeared, it was quiet for months before.
Why did they reappear? Maybe because they noticed nothing is done against them.
Currently we can report people for selling gold, but is this the solution to the problem?
NO.
The goldsellers are using hacked accounts, not their own (they are not stupid) and are using them to whisper the people and send their gold (if they even do it). This problem can’t be handled by arenanet, it’s the players fault who have unsave passworts, use their same passworts in many games, on many sites, so let’s ignore this.
BUT WHAT CAN BE DONE:
Make that the people don’t want to buy the gold from third party sites!
HOW?
Make them fear buying from unsave sites:
Display game messages on logging in that say:
“PERMANENT BANS FOR EVERYONE BUYING GOLD FROM THIRD PARTY SITES”
And show the players that you mean it as you are saying it, just ban them and display:
“5000 accounts permanently banned for buying gold from third party sites”
I remember guild wars 1, where you messaged:
“3000 accounts banned for botting, match manipulation…”

So if the people don’t buy gold anymore, the goldsellers will silently disappear and everyone will be happy: Players don’t get spammed anymore, ArenaNet (NCSoft) making more money,…

Any THOUGHTS guys?

You should join congress with that mindset, you would fit perfectly.

The idea makes sense but the thread will get locked as discussing gold selling is not allowed on the forum.

Discussions of gold selling, in-game abuse, hacking, exploiting, and the like are not allowed on the forums. If you feel a player is abusive in-game, please report them using the in-game ticketing system so our Customer Support team can properly investigate the issue and take any appropriate action.
