Even though I don’t regularly trade that much gold, I can definitely see the grief with this. This seems like a poorly planned out “fix” to a larger problem.
Also, I think it’s probably a push by NCSoft to restrict people from converting gold to gems, especially if they farm gold on multiple accounts and want to send it to a central account. They’d rather put restrictions like this to force people to buy gems, then convert to gold (anyone else remember the 400gem minimum fiasco that happened earlier on? They didn’t learn their lesson).
If this is implemented, as people have stated, it can easily be circumvented by simply trading items now in lieu of gold.
Also, while we address this issue, how about also highlighting some others.
1. Remove the 2 mail limit for friends, guildies, and party members. We are not RMT, and it’s ridiculous that ANet can’t code to allow legitimate mailings to go through without wasting time waiting for the limit to go on cooldown.
2. Remove the TP listing fee if something doesn’t sell. Right now I want to put up an a skin worth 1000g onto the TP but I can’t invest 50g into the listing fee that I might loose if someone decides to undercut me. The current TP selling and listing fee are very restrictive to new players and to people that aren’t racking in a lot of gold, but do get the occasional RNG gods to smile upon them. The idea of making more money until you an list something is ridiculous. If there is a listing fee, it should only be included if the item successfully sells. Evon Gnashblade doesn’t care about gold sinks like this; listing fees are petty money for him.
Just wanted some feedback from the community.
So, I know I’ve had some other trouble with ANet before with some names, and I was ignorant about the naming policy at the time. Honestly, I just like to have a funny name and do it for the lolz. Making my friends and guildies laugh is what I enjoy the most.
Anyway, after reading a bunch of posts about people getting suspended for their names, from copyright infringements (which shouldn’t be an issue in the first place), to mild references, to obscenities (which make sense to sensor), it seems there is a lot of political correctness going on. I can’t help but think that ANet should spend time fixing bugs and other issues than concentrating on people’s names.
Anyway, I don’t want to cause ANet anymore trouble, since that’s not my intention, but I can’t move on with a better name until I have people vet my old name, and make me understand how it actually is offensive.
""*Mr V Card Stealer*,” which also is in violation of the policy."
So, by V Card, I know what it usually means, but in my guild, I had a back story about stealing a valentines day card, which was why I thought it would be a funny double entrondre character name to have. I think it’s in the gray area, and doesn’t necessarily meet reasons for offense.. Also, it was a thief… so stealer went perfectly with it.
Thoughts?
And, as a reference, below are the naming policies, which I am not memorizing so as to not infringe upon them.
“Have offensive racial, ethnic, national, or cultural connotations
Include hate speech or bigoted slurs
Reference sexual acts or real life violence
Are pornographic
Make inappropriate references to human anatomy or bodily functions
Reference illegal drugs or activities
Reference religious or historical figures
Reference real-life people
Reference names of copyrighted or trademarked characters, materials, or products
Use misspellings or alternative spellings of names that violate any of the above rules”"
