Guild Wars 2

Grishnak.8021:

Here´s the ultimate solution to botting and gold sellers:

Just remove the capability to send gold through the ingame mail system.

If someone wants to trade gold between his characters, the person can use the personal bank.

If someone wants to help out a friend with money, they both could use the guild bank. One is putting the money in the guild bank, the other takes it out right away.

If you want to sell something, use the BlackLion Trading Post.

Really there is absolutly no need to send gold through ingame mail.

No more Goldsellers able to earn money through illegal means.

No more incentive to hack GW2 accounts.

Just my 2 cents…

The other way to sell gold in game is to post a crappy item for a large (or large enough) amount on the TP that only a few people would buy it, including the gold seller.

Although the mail system is one enabler, it isn’t the only way that gold is sold. And I like the ability to help my friends out even if they’re not in the same guild.

“Recently we have also hired a team of data specialists who will be helping us create more effective tools for analyzing reports of ‘botting.’”

I’m surprised you didn’t already have this team hired. I realize Guildwars 2 isn’t like other MMOs but surely someone at ArenaNet realized there would be similarities? :P
