Gold sellers and more (screenshot)
I had the exact same ones in my mail earlier today. They will get reported so in the end they get blocked. Obviously it just adds to the nightmare of whomever the account originally belonged to in the first place of having to jump through so many hoops just to get their account back as they will more than likely get told those accounts have been blocked for gold selling.
goldsellers are destroying this game.
arenanet need to take action against such treat..
Obviously, the problem also exists in the game because if you want to exchange gems for gold … get very few gold. But this is also a problem of Anet, because the market ingame is really hurt. They should ban all gold sellers, of course, but should also fight this scourge with a more generous value in the exchange between gems and gold: if we think that a lv 80 can do 2-5 gold per day, and if you buy 4000 gems, through an exchange in BlackLionMarket they give something like 8 gold… 4000 gems are 40 or 50 euro, cannot remember, I seem to be too many for 8 gold! it’s logical that if they do, so they don’t fight the black market.
Anet takes decisive action against Gold Sellers, and is recovering hacked accounts in the progress.
What can you do to help Anet with this?
- When you see a goldseller message in chat, right-click that persons name and select report. You get the report player interface.
- When you get a in-game mail message from a goldseller, click the exclamationmark.
You get the report player interface.
When in the report player interface, select Spamming from the dropdown menu, and press Report afterwards.
Yesterday when I was completing zones I found a bunch of nude rangers farming centaurs, all reported and insta-banned by my guild.
Gold farmers are usually bots which are USUALLY hacked accounts, if you see anyone AFK healing and autoattacking, please report them if they do not respond.
Anet needs to work on banning these botters too, they are worse than spammers.
When reporting, you are asked to flag the report for various reasons: Botting, Inappropriate Character Name, Spamming, Verbal Abuse, Scamming.
In order to send things along the right channel, which is the most appropriate flag for the folks sending Gold for Sale notes? I’ve seen them in all chat, but not spammed… just single post. I’ve received them as mail, but only once from a single user name, again not spammed. So, scamming?
I came to ask the same question as Countess, because it has the notice on the end saying it will be based on chat logs and if we keep sending false reports it will ban us.. Is there a correct category to mark gold selling mails, or even better: could we get a new category for either gold selling or illegal game activity?
Gold sellers would go away if people would stop buying from them. Unfortunately that will never happen. People think with their wallets instead of their brains.
To those who buy gold from the RMT crew: every time you make a purchase with them, you are encouraging them to compromise more GW2 accounts. The next account they compromise could be yours. Either earn the gold in-game or buy gems from ArenaNet and convert to gold. Don’t be a part of the RMT problem.
