I don’t know where to post this and I don’t know if ANet can do anything about it but this website is selling gold, power leveling, items and even CD-Keys!
They are advertising at facebook btw.

Curious is that their website is good looking and lol there are even promotions! Makes it look like they are legal and it is fine to buy stuff from them.
Actually now I am thinking: is it illegal or not? I can’t believe it is illegal and still advertised and so easily accessible like that!

PS: I can’t understand people that buy such stuff; isn’t the game about getting gold, level and gear and having fun while doing it? So if you just buy them, what are you even doing in the game? Paying someone else (probably bots) to have your fun for you!

I mean, WTF?!

PS: By telling the website’s name I mean only to report them, not advertising. Actually, any moderator/ANet employee, please take note of the link and then edit it out of my post. The website name is [link removed]

You will get banned if you are found to be buying gold or services from a third party site. So yes, it is illegal in the sense that it is against the games terms of service.

If you want to get more gold in game you can purchase gems legitimately from ArenaNet and then exchange them for in-game gold.

these sites are probably part of the hacking organisations that are robbing high level chars of gold and gear.

Also, check your computer carefully after going to such a site, they usually come with trojans and crap so they can visit you after you visited them.

Hi everyone,

Deathful Dante, thanks for bringing this up to our attention. We take not of this.
As stated by Cyrus, it would be nice now to perform a full scan of your computer and even maybe change passwords.

Thanks for your understanding. This thread is closed

Yes, without question. Their business is theft, and from those thefts they build the inventory to sell gold — which is absolutely disallowed — to players. It’s a vicious cycle. If everyone stops buying gold, the gold sellers will go out of business and, with their market dried up, they will stop stealing accounts.
