BROGAME: YOU SO TOTALLY SUCK Plus What The Hell Is Wrong With Your Live Help?! (2/4)

I’m done with hissy-fits. At least for now.

I really should get used to the fact that scammers, liars, cheating scumbags and greedy charlatans roam the earth and will continue to roam the earth until God decides that He’s had enough giving Satan and his gold-selling minions so much leeway.

I mean, how many reviews have I made since I started WoWGoldFacts.com? How many gold-selling sites have let me down?

All of ‘em have let me down and Brogame is no exception.

I was willing to let the crappy English and tacky graphics slide as long as they could give me my gold as promised . Within 30 minutes.

F*** you, Catherine, little Miss I-Love-Gossip-Girl! Everytime I read our chat transcript , you make me want to firebomb you to Kingdom come!

It’s been more than 24 hours since I placed an order for WoW gold at Brogame’s site. I spent the last forty minutes waiting for someone on Live Help to pick up. What a way to spend my morning, eh?

BROGAME: YO BRO, SO FAR YOU’RE SO-SO Plus Chatting Like A Sissy Girl (1/4)

Okay, I’m feeling much better now. My blood pressure has dropped and I no longer look and feel like this:

Exorcist

Sorry about the rant earlier , kiddies, but the nonstop spam pushed me to the very edge, I just had to let fly at something.

Anyway, moving on…

I’m doing a new review (do I hear applause and groans?) and the gold-selling site in the spotlight is Brogame.com . Now why Brogame, you might ask? Well, for one thing, Brogame doesn’t spam my blog nor does it spam me in-game. When I Googled for "wow gold", it showed up on the first page of the search results.

INTERLUDE: STOP SPAMMING ME!!!

This is for all you pathetic upstarts and moribund old-timers who have been leaving me spam in the guise of comments:

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT’S HOLY, QUIT @#$%ING SPAMMING ME!!!

Since I started WoWGoldFacts , both the legitimate comments and spam have been pouring in, the latter frighteningly increasing as I continue churning more posts. It’s bad enough that thousands of spam - ranging from invites to view someone’s webcam to try out the latest penis-enlarging pill to apply for personal loans - continue to clog my web-based email account’s inbox. It’s worse when I’m playing WoW and some dickhead gold-seller comes up to me telling me to buy gold from them. But the spam comments in my blog are really just getting to me and I’m telling you losers to please just STOP!!!

You understand? STOP! You are wasting your time sending me stupid spam like this:

IGE.CC: SEND IN THE CLONES Plus The Party’s Over For This Impostor

Now here’s a WoW gold-selling site review that bit the dust faster than I could shout "REFUND!"

It all started the other night when some subhuman named Tracee spammed me with what appeared to be a comment meant for one of my older posts. Spam-hating yours truly would normally just trash the spam and move on, but this one caught my eye. It was a spam for an MMORPG services company named IGE.cc.

Mother of God.

How many gold-selling companies named IGE are there in this world? To my knowledge, there is only one IGE and that’s Internet Gaming Entertainment with the site address www.ige.com. The copycats - some like IGXE who had a modicum of decency to add one more letter to their name to avoid trademark infringement - are basically just that: f*cking copycats.

I just had to call Cletus that very second.

"Lemme ask you this: just how many companies named IGE are there in this God-forsaken planet?" I said.

"Just how many Chinese people are named Chang?" He replied while chewing his dinner.

"Your point being….???"

"Well, you’re talking about IGE clones from a country that mass produces fake Louis Vuitton bags and has ten gazillion people all sharing the same last name without being accused of incest so originality and uniqueness are pretty much a rarity there."

I love it when politically-incorrect Cletus explains things to me even when his analogies are a little off.

INTERLUDE: Who Is Extreme Gold Fan? Plus I’m Actually Very Nice You Know

Time for another interlude, kiddies. See, I’ve been getting tons of comments which I chose not to approve because most of them are of a personal nature - basically asking me who I really am, what I do for a living, why I have this blog, why I love World of WarCraft so much, why I buy gold, et cetera.

Rather than messaging my readers one by one (hey, I’m not rich enough to afford my own secretary!), and since the questions are more or less the same, I’ve decided to post the equivalent of an FAQ to address all and sundry.

Oh, before I forget, let me assure some of the readers who are wondering why I haven’t done a new review that I will be doing a new review soon. I just had to attend to a few important matters at work and in school. You kiddies keep forgetting that I have a life outside this blog. =)

Anyhoo, on to the FAQ!

WHAT’S YOUR REAL NAME?

I’m not so suicidal as to reveal my real name, sweetheart. Just call me Extreme Gold Fan.

BUYING GOLD GOES AGAINST BLIZZARD’S TOS, DO YOU KNOW THAT?

Put it this way: why hasn’t Blizzard done anything to completely bar such transactions? And anyway, I like buying gold . Let’s not get into the legalities, okay? I’m not a lawyer and I never cared much for the TOS the same way I never read the fine print on any credit card I applied (and did not apply) for. In other words, you’re asking that question to the wrong person.

OOFAY: OOH LA LA, SOMEONE’S BEEN TO THE OPIUM DEN Plus I Want A Refund!!! (3/3)

I consider myself to be a fairly polite and patient person. I am not a difficult customer. On first contact, I do not throw hissy-fits of rich parvenu proportions when I deal with customer service simply because:

1. I am not a rich parvenu.

2. I am a reasonable customer, especially when I am given adequate reason behind any delivery hiccups AND I am treated with respect.

3. I was once a customer support agent (swear! seven months of service before the company gave my job to some guy in Bangalore!).

4. As a customer support agent, I despised arrogant customers and vowed never to be like them.

5. As a former customer support agent, I know what most reps are going through. It’s a difficult job and requires even more patience on their part in order to deal with all types of people (yeah, including me!)

However, in this case, I’m going to make an exception. You see, kiddies, I think I’ve been patient and understanding enough since I placed my order at (P)OOFay.com’s crappy website (pun intended). I gave them my money and the least they could have done was email me or give me a call to let me know when my order is going to get processed. But I heard nothing from them. Not a flicker.

Now from a gold-buying customer perspective, a delay is not that catastrophic and it’s something I can let slide as long as I am given the courtesy notice. But OOFay can’t even do that. Why? ‘Cause their service sucks!

OOFAY: OOH LA LA, DID THEY GET SHUT DOWN? Plus Dude, Where’s My Gold? (2/3)

Aaaaarrrghhh, OOFay’s website is down, down, down! I don’t have my gold, gold, gold!

Nearly 48 hours since I placed an order and still nothing from them. No email, no phone call, not even the ol’ message in a bottle. It’s like they suddenly vanished, like Vanilla Ice’s career.

I want my money back but again, their site is down. Can’t contact Live Help to get them to refund me!

Wonder what’s happening. Is it:

a. Their programmers haven’t been paid (again) and the poor devils shut down the site

b. Their agents were pulled out to attend a refresher on English 101 (again)

c. All OOFay employees are busy training for the Beijing Olympics (Training in what? Launching nasal projectiles?)

d. All of the above

Aaaaarrrrggh again.

Should’ve stuck with the original plan and reviewed IGE instead!

OOFAY: OOH LA LA, PLAYING DIRTY EH? Plus Everything About Them Sucks At This Point! (1/3)

Ugh, I can’t sleep! Why oh why did I take THREE espressos after dinner? I am so wired I am picking up AM Radio. I have the shakes that the Richter Scale can’t measure. And I’ve been snapping at everyone — my next-door neighbor, my landlord, my landlord’s dog, and the OOFay customer service rep.

The what customer service rep, you might ask?

Okay, kiddies, a couple of hours ago I was preparing for my next WoW gold-selling site review. I was all ready to review IGE.com , which has been in the eye of a legal storm since last year ’cause of some Tony Hernandez who whined that IGE was ruining the fun for him. I Googled "IGE" to look up more information on the lawsuit plus some…and saw this:

I’M BAAAACK! Plus A Yummy Giveaway of Olympic Proportions from WoWMine

Look out, Jack, Chucky’s back!

Chucky

I had a sweet vacation, kiddies. Lots of good food and fresh air and surrounded by friends and family, I was so happy I nearly pulled a twirling-like-a-mental-patient stunt on the hills like that Maria chick from The Sound of Music .

Anyway, enough wholesomeness. Back to work.

But before I start my next review, allow me to share something with you that my fellow WoW nut Octavius sent me. Click the image below from WoWMine.com to see what nearly made me blow my breakfast:
