EPILOGUE: RUN RANDY RUN: No Mule, No Gold Plus Cletus Is Very Worried (And With Good Reason) (4/4)

Over 96 hours have gone by and Cletus and I have no mule, no gold, and no word from Randyrun.com.

Poor guy has sent at least 3 emails over the weekend, demanding to know if he’s ever going to see his money back.

Cletus, my friend, people on death row have brighter futures. Does that answer your question?

In deference to Randyrun’s disclaimer about how it could take them 72 hours and even up to 96 hours to accomplish anything, I stayed in Zen mode after placing the order. (Easy to do that if it’s not your own money at stake here). I said to myself, fine, let them take their sweet, ridiculous time as long as the mule shows up with the goods. I’ll be patient.

Unfortunately, Cletus couldn’t be patient and is, in fact, on panic mode right this very minute.

Well, my friend, at the risk of sounding insensitive, I did warn you against pursuing this little review on your own dime. Didn’t I tell you that I smelled a rat the second I clapped eyes on Randyrun’s laundry list of (scam) services? No legit gold-selling site will ask customers for their account name and password. No legit gold-selling site will charge delivery fees even for sending your gold to your in-game mailbox! No legit gold-selling site will charge you to create a mule….and run off with it!

Yes, my friend, that’s what Randyrun did: it ran off with your mule, money and dignity.

If anybody from Randyrun is reading this post, allow me to tell you this very nicely:

GO F*** YOURSELVES!

The absence of Live Chat support alone is a telling sign of what a scam your business really is. Charging delivery fees?! Heck, if you were Amazon or eBay, I’d understand the reason behind such charges FOR TANGIBLE GOODS but helloooo, for virtual items? Do MP3 downloads come with shipping fees? I don’t think so!

Yo, Joris Deckers , I would love to deck everyone in your company, including you, simply because scammers like you deserve to be knocked down and put out of business. Why your site continues to exist is beyond me.

I give Randyrun.com an F — FOR FRAUD.

Cletus, my man, don’t be upset. Karma will soon catch up with Randyrun.com.

Karma, Joris Deckers and company, is something you see in Bizrate.com and every blog like mine.

So be afraid. Be very afraid.

You can run. But you can’t hide.

Especially not with a tacky site like yours.

Go shove a dynamite up your rectum. I’m calling it a day.

RUN RANDY RUN Plus Buying A Mule and Everything But The Farm (3/4)

I’m back from the hospital, kiddies! Please don’t ask me what happened. Too embarrassing. But hey, at least I’m still alive right? Now where was I and which site was I supposed to review next?

Oh yeah.

Randyrun.com.

I emailed them back asking them about the mule account:

And some dude named Joris Deckers replied:

I get to keep the mule account on Cletus’ dime? Awesome! :D

RUN RANDY RUN Plus Why Am I Even Bothering With This Loser? (2/4)

If I were Cletus, I would just drop the whole idea and trash Randyrun.com. This is so not worth the effort to pull myself out of bed and write this latest post. I threw up twice a few hours ago and NO, YOU BASTARDS AT WOWMINE, THSALE, BROGAME, IGXE, OOFAY AND SWAGVAULT, I AM NOT DYING! I MAY BE VERY SICK BUT I AM NOT DYING SO YOU MAY STOP PARTYING NOW!

Aaaaaanywaaaaayy….

Since Randyrun has no live chat support (aaaaarrrgghhh!), I was forced to email them the questions that had been gnawing at me:

From: Me

To: support@randyrun.com

Subject: Delivery Questions

Hello,

Please answer the following questions:

1. Why do you charge delivery fees for the gold to be sent via in-game mail or, um, mule account?

2. Why should I trust you with my account name and password? I don’t even trust my own brother enough to give him my Social Security number.

3. Why 72 hours for delivery? Other sites can deliver within 24 hours.

4. Who’s Randy?

Thanks,

Extreme Gold Fan

RUN RANDY RUN Plus Life is Like a Box of WoW Gold…You Never Know When It’ll Get Deleted (1/4)

"Randyrun.com," chuckled Cletus.

"What’s that? A new porn site?" I said with as much enthusiasm as a sedated mental patient.

Yours truly has been sick the past couple of days. Cletus came over to bring me the mother of all cliché foods-for-the-ill: hot chicken soup, which he polished off on my behalf. Go figure.

"No, you cripple, it’s a site that sells WoW gold."

I suddenly sat up. "Why would anyone name their gold-selling site Randyrun.com ???"

"Beats the hell out of me. They’re European." Politically-incorrect Cletus strikes again.

"Well, that explains it all!"

"Sarcasm noted."

It was enough to pique my curiosity though. Burning with fever, I checked out the site with Cletus and….whoa daddy!

"Speechless, eh?" said Cletus. "Their web designer got a little too enthusiastic with the gold and red."

"Yeah," I said when I found my voice. "Very Euro indeed. Soviet even. Post-perestroika and glasnost . When they had yet to discover good taste."

GOING AWAY FOR A WEEK…

I would like to announce something that would surely make my detractors rejoice:

Kiddies, I’m off to Canada for a wedding and I’ll be away for a week.

I’m going to miss you all. Feel free to leave comments but please do not spam me.

I hate spam.

Even the canned variety.

Peace! Au revoir!

EPILOGUE: IGE.COM MAKES THE GRADE Plus Cletus Is So Childish (4/4)

Dear IGE.com,

I stand - rather sit, since it makes sense to sit while typing - before you humbled by and happy with the service you have given me. I know I was a total SOB with your Customer Support and I was intentionally being difficult that day but your agent Cary P . rose to the occasion and dealt with me with the patience, courtesy and tact of a UN diplomat. You’ve made this cynic believe again - believe that there are still decent gold-selling sites out there who keep their promises AND are capable of providing superb customer service.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts , I will promote the gold-selling site that delivers according to their promise. You’ve met my expectations though admittedly I was ready to tear you apart - my faith shattered by the likes of Brogame, THSale, WoWMine, and yeah, even that pathetic clone IGE.CC and that pseudo-clone IGXE. I was ready to peg you as their ilk BUT you’ve proven me wrong.

For once, I am glad to be proven wrong.

So as promised, I will recommend IGE.com to every person that reads my site as well as to my fellow WoW nuts:

IGE logo

SITE: IGE.com

URL: http://www.ige.com

Live Help: Best-in-class customer service. Very good command of English. Retarded customers (like yours truly and Cletus) tolerated to a fault, though.

Promise: Guaranteed Delivery. I got my gold. I hope you get yours when you order from them. (IGE, you better not embarrass me!!!)

IGE.COM: PLACING AN ORDER Plus I Get A Ton Of Hate Messages (2/4)

WTF??!!

I can’t think of a more appropriate acronym to describe my initial reaction to the 17 (and counting) approved comments that have flooded my IGE.com post.

17 comments, a number of them spaced minutes apart. Some of them inane.

Not to mention the 22 hate messages posted as comments which I disapproved. Majority of them originating from the same IP address!

Just a few examples, kiddies:

"Extreme Gold Fan, you are a sadistic son of a bitch. You have no right to review anything because you are childish, vengeful and mean. Did your mother forget to breastfeed you?"

"You were horrible to poor Cary. Customer service people like him don’t deserve to be treated that way. You think you’re funny??!! F*** OFF, A$$HOLE!"

"u r an aSShole within an aSShole. who the hell do u think u are? ever heard of karma? you’ll never get your gold cos u r evil!"

Then someone posing as Cary P. (well, could actually be him but I’m not really so sure) sent me this:

IGE.COM: MESSING WITH AN OLD-TIMER Plus Cary Is Da Woman, I Mean, Da Man! (1/4)

I’m doing something which I should have done a long time ago:

Review IGE.com , considered by its closest competitors as a moribund dinosaur about to kick the bucket.

In the same way I don’t believe in kicking a man when he’s down, I don’t get my jollies from tearing apart a company that’s pilloried left and right….unless said company offends me first, and then I’ll let everyone in that company, and I mean everyone including his grandmother, feel my wrath.

Unfortunately for IGE, today I am in a foul mood. Brogame hasn’t refunded me. I got a hold of that Catherine again who said to wait for 5 days to get my money back, then the biatch dropped the chat!

Unfortunately for IGE, with me being in a foul mood no thanks to Catherine of Brogame and Brogame itself, I need to let off some steam.

Unfortunately for IGE, with me needing to let off some steam, I need to pick on someone.

Unfortunately for IGE, with me needing to pick on someone, I choose to pick on them.

Unfortunately for IGE, with me choosing to pick them, I am going to be a total a$$hole to the unlucky agent who picks up my chat…and I probably won’t order any gold, just to be extra nasty!

EPILOGUE: BROGAME, I HATE YOU Plus Brogame, I Really, Really Hate You (4/4)

Deliver my gold within 10 minutes eh?

10 Minutes???!!!

What a joke.

Brogame, you just f***ing lost the chance to redeem yourself last night.

10 minutes? Bullshit!

YOUR. TOON. DID. NOT. SHOW. UP.

I waited. And waited. And waited.

My toon pickled itself in-game waiting for the promised gold. My anxiety pushed me to call Cletus for moral support.

Unfortunately, my own best friend was of no real help as he was on an 80’s laugh trip and busy viewing crap like this:

Mullet hair. Check. Plastic earrings. Check. Lycra on men. Check. One lifeless singer named Robin Gibb. Check. Yup. Can’t get any more f***ing 80’s than that.

BROGAME: DELIVERY IN TEN MINUTES Plus I Am So There!!! (3/4)

I long for the day when I could honestly write a positive review about a gold-selling site. I’m even willing to "lower my standards" by cutting WoW gold sellers some slack by not crucifying their English so much. As long as I get my gold with as little delay as possible and customer support treats me very well, my blood pressure won’t soar to stratospheric heights, and I’ll be more than happy to shamelessly promote that site with the fervor of Don King promoting his latest prize fighter.

Unfortunately, I’ve been KO’d one too many times by inept customer support, false promises advertised in banners that are gaudier and tackier than the album cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, and ZERO deliveries! Kiddies, I am starting to lose hope. Brogame has given me nothing. No gold, no email, no phone call. OMG, I can’t believe I’m hoping that someone would call me even at 2:00 in the morning. Am I becoming that desperate???

NOT!

I ignored them the entire weekend thinking they’d check on their backlog of unfilled orders and eventually contact me to follow up. But did they? Heck no! What was I thinking? Brogame was probably happy that I fell quiet. They probably even thought I died or something and toasted their own good luck.

Well, sorry, Brogame but Extreme Gold Fan is alive and kicking, albeit several dollars short…AND I WANT MY DAMN GOLD!!!
