Guild Wars 2

This seemed to be bugged on Blackgate server too.

Ceronose.6019:

Anet says that gold sellers are bad people who steal your account.

Just to add to the above, it’s not just that they steal accounts, they use stolen credit card information to buy accounts too. Then, when the real owner of the CC finds out about the unauthorized charges, Anet gets a chargeback and they close the account.

So it’s not just your game account, but possibly your credit card (or other electronic payment info), or that of your friends and family that is at risk because of this.

Also, those bots you complained about are one of the ways that they make the gold that they sell, so that’s another way gold sellers affect your game experience.

Basically gold sellers are crooks, you should avoid dealing with them because they hurt other people to make their money. And if that’s not enough of a reason, you risk losing your game account by doing so as well.

I’ve been mostly doing map completion too and you’re right, it doesn’t result in making a lot of money. Concentrate more on doing events and getting to the higher end areas for better paying events and start doing dungeons. Check out doing the daily and monthly achievements too. Someone already mentioned WvW. There are lots of better suggestions on the fan forums for making gold too.

So like if a copper level pick cost 1/6 of a mithril level pick you would have a 1 in 6 chance of breaking your mithril pick when mining copper level nodes?

That’s a great idea. No swapping tools depending on where you are and still maintains the gold sink feature of the current system.

Shouldn’t the wiki game update from yesterday be corrected to reflect this?
