Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this won’t look a bit stupid but why doesn’t ANet sue that gold-selling site that we can’t even post here?

considering that the vast majority of the gold selling companies are not in the US, it would be very hard to sue them, probably way to costly as well.

They can just ask the court to shut that site down like they did with megaupload right?

I’m not even sure if selling gold is illegal by the law.

Yes, it’s against their TOS, but that doesn’t mean it’s illegal.

Megaupload was shut down with the cooperation of the government of the country in which it was based: New Zealand.

I suspect that most gold selling sites are based in China. There’s no way in kitten that China would be so compliant.

Really, if they wanted to curtail gold selling, they could just remove the in game mail system making the only way to trade via the TP.

If it was that easy, or not that costly, don’t you think that it would have been done already in the MMO industry in the last 15+ years?
