Guild Wars 2

Each of us will certainly have received a mail in game from pvpban_k at least once. I suppose everyone has reported them for selling gold. So why are they continuing to send mails and their website is still open as if nothing happened?!

If in the title of the topic or in the text I write “pvpban_k” without the “_” i get “I AM A GOLD SPAMMER. PLEASE REPORT ME BY PRESSING THE REPORT FLAG ICON IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT OF THIS POST!” Why???

Different accounts.

They are continuing because people are stupid enough to buy gold from them.
As for the website, it is not much ArenaNet can do about that.

There are a bunch of legit gold traders that sell for $0.10-$0.95 per g.

Though you do have to look hard and make sure he’s not a scammer.

Who has the power to get them to shut down their site for good?

It’s not legit to sell in game gold for real money gold even if the rate would be 1000g/0,01$

And what about the second part of my first post?

There’s nothing legit about it. It is completely against the rules.

You also seem to know a bit too much about this.

While grind exists and somebody proposing a way to get rid of it for some bucks gold sellers will be there. For good reason. If anet will add ways to greatly reduce grind for fair price they will be gone.
If somebody will propose me mats for ascended for $10 so I don’t need to grind for it as a robot I will go for it. I never report these guys. I don’t like spam but see this as forced by anet currently.
