INTERLUDE: WOWMINE IS PISSED Plus How Much Do You Spend On WoW Gold In A Single Purchase, Kiddies?

I’m not supposed to be doing any writing since I’m feeling under the weather and I’m as limp as those droopy clocks in Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory .



But I just had to write this quick post, ’cause I got an interesting email this evening.

Someone from WoWMine.com hates me.

At least my gut instinct is telling me it’s a WoWMine lackey who sent me that email that landed in my spam folder.

Some random person - whose gender I’m unable to determine - ORDERED me to delete my posts on WoWMine.

Here is the email in its copy and paste glory, followed by its screen capture (click for a larger image):

ILGOLD.COM: THE STORM AFTER THE CALM Plus It’s A Category 5 (3/3)

To the iLGold.com person in charge of complaints:

If a picture paints a thousand words, MY picture would look like this:

As anyone can read in my previous post , your brilliant customer support rep Dave successfully bamboozled me into logging into my game to accept the face-to-face trade.

What happened next could only be described as something out of the pages of Dante’s Inferno.

No one met me in game.

I have no gold. Nothing, nada, zip.

iLGold.com, you could have been my bronze medalist.

However, you chucked that shot at the medal the same way that Swede wrestler chucked his bronze medal at the Olympics which you hosted amidst a cornucopia of controversy.

I recall watching a news clip about all the brouhaha of the Olympics opening ceremony alone, topped by the lip-synching of that little girl to "Ode to the Motherland". The headlines screamed WORLD CLASS FAKES.

And that, iLGold.com, is a very apt description of your company.

WORLD CLASS FAKE. WORLD CLASS LIAR.

Dave, how I would love to hurl a javelin in your direction.

That’s it. I’m singing REFUND !

No lip-synching required.

iLGOLD.COM: IT’S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM AKA It’s The Calm Before I Blow A Gasket! (2/3)

36 hours and counting.

To anyone at iLGold.com: are there plans in the future to deliver my gold? Whatever happened to your phone verification? I never got a call. Not even an email to let me know if you still care.

63 posts and counting…I should be immune to this crap by now.

I pride myself on being able to laugh off every negative experience I’ve had and become totally immune to it:

My ex-girlfriend who left me for another guy.

My other ex-girlfriend who left death threats on my voice mail every single day.

My Digital Editing Workshop instructor at NYFA who told me I could never be the next Martin Scorcese and that I would most likely become the director whose films will make "Ishtar", "Heaven’s Gate" and "Showgirls" look like Academy Award-winning masterpieces.

My aging next-door neighbor who plays only ONE song - "Mr. Dieingly Sad" by The Critters - every Sunday morning in an endless loop.

But getting duped by a gold seller for the nth time?

Never fails to make my blood boil, kiddies.

I checked the status of my order on iLGold’s members’ account page.

Still processing.

Dave of iLGold’s Live Help, I hope you step on a bear trap.

iLGOLD.COM: I LOVE GOLD, YOU LOVE GOLD Plus Phelps Says “I Love Gold Medal” (1/3)

Okay, back to work. I owe you kiddies a review and here it is. Reader Paul J. forwarded me this newsletter he received from iLGold.com and asked me to review that site.

Sure thing, Paul! :D

Handmade gold. Sounds interesting. LOL.

I’ve never heard of iLGold, to be honest. I don’t recall seeing it in the top 5 search engine result pages when I Googled "wow gold". But thanks for telling me, man. I may finally have my bronze medalist for my Top Sites Award. I’m getting pretty tired of looking at that pissed-off monkey right under the silver medal.

Now on to my review.

I’M BAAAAACK! Plus The Poll and Certain Comments

I’m baaaack!

I am sunburned and recovering from a rather bad case of sand rash on an unmentionable part but other than that, Extreme Gold Fan is alive and well. No marine animals were endangered during my underwater stint. I behaved well enough not to get deported. I had fun.

Then I came home to this:

"You’l go diving and shark will eat u bones.now we’l laugh no more wowgold facts dumbuss " — comment courtesy of Semmy.

IP Address: 219.232.224.35

Location:

netnum: 219.232.224.0 - 219.232.239.255
netname: CNCITYNET
descr: Beijing Kuanjie Net communication technology Ltd
descr: 420, administration Mansion,
descr: No.83 FuXing Road, Beijing

Sigh, some Chinese person who failed his TOEFL dislikes me. I’m hurt.

NOT!

I’m not going to dwell on this a$$clown and extend his proverbial 15 minutes (or in this case, 2 minutes) of fame. I’m just going to have to remind Cletus to be more selective in approving comments on my behalf.

At least he didn’t approve this rusty can of Spam:

The world is a sick place.

Anyhoooooo, I see that my poll "HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND ON WOW GOLD IN A SINGLE PURCHASE" has generated 77 responses so far. Not bad. To the rest of my readers who haven’t answered the poll, please click away. I’m ending the poll on September 7, Sunday, 11:59PM EDT.

I’m off to bed. I’m tired. I’ll be back with another post before you know it!

A CHUCKLE POST Plus Poll Widget Is Up! Start Voting, Kiddies!

I had a good chuckle when I saw this on IGE.com’s home page:

I have just one question for the graphic artist in charge of all IGE’s banners:

Why do you keep picking on that poor orc?

Last time I saw him, you made him a cowboy for your Fourth of July ad. For a second, I wondered what the Village People theme had to do with the Fourth.

Then for your start-of-the-summer promo, and if memory serves me well, you turned him into a beachcombing, ice cream-licking beefcake stud with testosterone overload to displace Fabio from the cover of a paperback romance novel.

And Remus told me that you guys turned him into a "bling pimp" (his words, not mine, okay?) sometime last month, though I think I missed that one. He said you piled on so many shiny gold accessories on the orc, even Mr. T had a seizure when he saw them.

If you keep this up, my friends and I are going to start an Orc Watch. :p

Anyway, on to more good stuff….

MY POLL WIDGET IS UP!

Woohoo, thanks, Cletus, who helped me for free and worked on the widget without stopping for food, water or a bathroom break.

Start voting, kiddies, and let me know HOW MUCH YOU SPEND ON WOW GOLD IN A SINGLE PURCHASE . Poll ends in a month.

It’ll be Friday in a few hours. Then I’m off to somewhere exotic — where sharks and funny-looking fish abound and where a harpoon will come in handy to save my sorry behind should the situation call for it.

SOMETHING NEW: RANDOM RANTS FROM COMPLAINTS BOARD Plus Survey Time!

My insomnia has me in a fog - I can’t do any hardcore writing. I think I’ll lay off the ordering and kvetching for the meantime and just visit one of the "neighbors".

The neighbors being other sites where other WoW gold-buying customers (like me) have their no-holds barred say on the gold sellers from whom they’ve bought (and most likely never received) gold.

I go to Complaints Board and enter "wow gold" in the search bar. Lo and behold…

EPILOGUE: MORE PROOF WHY YOU SHOULDN’T BUY FROM GAMINGEXE.COM (4/4)

I’ll make this a quick post. It’s the first day of the week and I don’t want to ruin it by going on a 5,000-word essay-tirade.
