WoWMine.com has guts.
I have to give it to the bastids.
Is Madonna aware that she is the current face of WoWMine’s campaign?
I visit Madonna.com and leave a message:
Not all the Ashtanga yoga sessions in this world will calm Madge’s nerves when she claps eyes on this.

Someone emailed me asking why I haven’t written an epilogue to my Wowgoldvip.com posts.
Okay, here it is:
I asked for a refund. End of story.
BRB with an exposé.
I’m pissed as hell.

Dude, THSale owns the following companies: akgame.com, BroGame.com, eing.com, gamegoldvip.com, gamemobile.com, gocdk.com, igs.com, itemrate.com, mmocart.com, mygamestock.com, oforu.com, power4game.com, proleveling.com, rs4sale.com, withgames.com, wowgoldvip.com.
Cletus
P.S. Can you pay me back the $30 you borrowed from me yesterday?
AAAAARRRRRGGHHHH!!!!
Oh the humanity!
I’ve been bordering on insanity since placing my order and discovering I had inadvertently given my hard-earned money to a site I had long condemned to Dante’s Inferno. THSale was a site I mockingly called "Total Hoax" and with good reason you’ll see in this post . And many posts later, THSale and I come full circle through Wowgoldvip.com. Talk about cosmic jokes, only I’m NOT laughing!
After I had ordered, I waited for someone to call me but heard nothing from them. I went about my usual business, earned my daily bread, returned to my apartment too tired to follow up (What’s the point anyway? It was THSale! Following up on my order would have been akin to asking Jerry Bruckheimer to let me direct his next project) and hit the sack.
And then….
Two phone calls in the wee hours of the morning to ask me if I was gonna log into my game.
On the second call, I blew my top. It wasn’t even 2:30 AM. I screamed why it took them over 24 hours to acknowledge that I had given them my money so they in turn could give me the friggin’ gold. I asked for Catherine but the guy said she "belonged to a diffalent depahtment." I said Catherine promised me delivery within 30 minutes of placing my order.
I then heard the words solly, solly, solly .
Since I couldn’t sleep anymore, I decided to go online to accept the trade.
Whaddaya know, nothing.
Why am I not surprised?
It’s THSale, man. If they had delivered, I’d be shellshocked.
But they haven’t so….
Eh.
Refund.
To hell with my bronze medalist. I’d rather keep the little monkey there than prolong my agony. I love myself too much.

Excuse the preamble, kiddies. But just hear me out, please.
I had the weirdest dream last night straight out of a Paul Cézanne painting.
Okay, make that Paul Cézanne’s Fastnacht …vandalized by my little WoWGoldFacts medal mascot who appeared as Harlequin, Pierrot, and sundry circus clowns against a prism highway. It looked something like this:
I fruckin’ hate clowns.
No thanks to my parents who insisted on introducing then 10-year old Extreme Gold Fan to "higher art" by taking me to every major museum inside and outside the country but thoughtfully balanced with a trip to the circus.
First stop: the Paul Cézanne exhibit where I clapped eyes on a painting featuring two sinister clown dudes whose eyes seem to stare at me constantly.
Then within that same week, Mom and Dad surprised me and my sister and brother by announcing that they had tickets to the circus.
More clowns.
One of whom had the unmitigated gall to pull me out of the audience when I clearly did NOT volunteer myself. He had on scary makeup and a glitter-studded vest that even Liberace would deem over-the-top.
I kicked the bastid in the family jewels.
Anyhoo, the fact that my little mascot was present in my dream in five eerie manifestations could only mean one thing:
I NEED A GODDAMN WOWGOLDFACTS BRONZE MEDALIST ASAP!!!

I owe you kiddies a review, not another diatribe, but please indulge me because I feel the need to reiterate to a certain group of HYPERSENSITIVE people out there who exactly this blogsite is for and why they should quit dictating their standards on me.
1. WOWGOLDFACTS.COM IS FOR GOLD-BUYING WOW PLAYERS LIKE ME WHO ARE ON THE HUNT FOR THE BEST WOW GOLD DEALERS IN THE MARKET. If you detest WoW or especially detest the practice of buying gold from an RMT company, then please do NOT read my posts. Do NOT throw a hissy-fit by bringing up the EULA. I do NOT care about the EULA (neither do the millions of players who buy gold). I do NOT want, wish or plan to debate about the ethics of purchasing virtual currency. I am just some person who loves WoW but doesn’t have the time to grind and who created this site so I can share my WoW gold-buying experience to people who buy gold as well.
2. QUIT NITPICKING THE STUFF I WRITE AND CRYING HOW POLITICALLY INCORRECT I AM. This site is by no means a tool to incite ethnic or racial hatred. Get that into your thick skull. I WOULD NEVER DELIBERATELY SLAM A PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP FOR THE SHEER EVIL PLEASURE OF IT. If I say something unsavory about some site’s customer support, it’s because I’ve been provoked by someone who failed to represent his or her people in a positive light by treating me - a paying customer - VERY VERY VERY badly. You also forget that I am not the first or only person on this godforsaken earth to say off-the-cuff quips in the heat of the moment. Oh, and please don’t tell me you’ve never uttered a single inadvertent, unintentional offensive remark about a certain group of people in your entire life because that just smacks of hypocrisy. If I have to watch every word I say, then I would just be betraying myself. That would be the death of my spontaneity. And speaking of the things I say….
3. I FOREWARN ALL AND SUNDRY IF MY POST CONTAINS STRONG (READ: FOUL) LANGUAGE . Again, if you are easily offended by four-letter words, close the window or move to another site. Don’t make life difficult for yourself or me. This is my blog and the crap I go through chasing gold is my personal agony and I HAVE EVERY DAMN RIGHT TO EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION IN ANY MANNER I WANT. I can’t believe how people are so quick to paint me as someone who fights customer support reps for no reason. Hell, do you people even read the transcripts from start to finish? Go check out who the bigger jackass was in the equation before you call me an unreasonable, potty-mouthed brat! Do I have a temper? Duh, of course I have a temper. Do I spew out insults for the sake of spewing insults? Hell no! So keep that in mind before you sympathize with the customer support bot, er, rep who dissed me to Kingdom come!
OMG, I will die an early death if I try to please every single one of you people!

I’m going to get a lot of flak for this post, I just know it. Maybe even a few death threats.
MMOwned.com was a post just waiting to happen; I wasn’t sure at first if it was worth going on my soapbox for and getting called a self-righteous, pontificating SOB one hundred ways till my next birthday.
Well, hell, maybe yeah. And besides, I’ve been called worse before. So let’s bring it on, shall we? And please keep in mind that an opinion is like a butt - everyone is entitled to one. If you don’t like my bu– I mean my opinion, then don’t read this post.
There were many things I saw on MMOwned.com that were so wrong on so many levels. But I’m not going to comment on every single one of them. I’m just going to kvetch about a certain page’s contents which, from a WoW gold buyer’s perspective, are the ultimate in crookedness.
But first, to all the fledgling WoW players out there who have stumbled on my blogsite, allow me to give a brief explanation on what MMOwned.com is all about. It is touted by its creators and moderators as the ultimate site for hacking, botting and exploiting into and within WoW. And if you’re an enthusiastic gold buyer like me, you’ll see certain pages in there containing information on how to scam gold selling-sites so you get more gold than you paid for.
Case in point:
(Click for a larger image)
Some guy is bragging how he managed to get bonus gold by complaining to Warcraftgold.com ’s customer service that he never got his order — all this IN SPITE OF THE FACT that they had delivered his gold!!
Whats-his-name chortles: "so I got the gold like 3 hours later and thought hrmm, im gona try that again, and i did, then i got 500 more gold, the next night, so i was like shit i gotta try this one more time, and it worked a few more times so i walked away with like 4k, then they started getting a little fussy and they only gave me my 5% once the bastards, neways i suggest trying this maybe just order like 100 then get all pissed cause they try extremely hard to keep customers happy… If you’re not gona scam then they still do a good service, i didnt get banned or anything… but eh… whatever… gimme ur rep or die."
Man, that is the lowest of the low.Truly. Madly. Really.

Okay, poll’s officially over. The results are in. I just can’t for the life of me shut down the dang poll widget. I tried disabling it over a thousand ways and it won’t budge. Cletus, you have some serious explaining to do.
Anyway…
168 people responded to the question "How much do you spend on WoW gold in a single purchase?"
Majority - 40% of the respondents - said they spend $51 and above.
17% spend below $20. I must confess that I fall in this category most of the time.
15% spend anywhere from $21 to $30.
14% spend anywhere from $41 to $50.
The 11% minority has a budget of at least $31 and no more than $40.
Interesting results.
Now my curiosity is even more piqued.
Time to create a new poll.
September 4th 2008
I received not a few emails from readers telling me that World of WarCraft is getting a little long in the tooth, getting too predictable as a game, getting to be too much of a grind, getting to be too this and too that…and that this other game Warhammer Online will be the final nail on WoW’s coffin once it hits every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally’s personal computer.
The heck do I care about Warhammer Online! (or any other MMORPG for that matter)
Go bring your Nostradamus musings elsewhere.
This WoW fan is sticking to WoW till I die (preferably in an amusing way).

I’m still alive, kiddies, albeit it is a struggle to keep awake and stay lucid, what with the laundry list of meds I’ve been taking.
My poll "How Much Do You Spend on WoW Gold in a Single Purchase" ends on Sunday so to those who haven’t clicked their selection, please respond as soon as possible. I have a total of 154 responses as of this writing. I can’t believe that 40% of the respondents spend at least $51 on WoW gold. Either I’m a cheapskate or I’m just so impoverished….or your parents are rich and spoil you like crazy….or you just happen to have jobs that pay so friggin’ well!
Before I fall apart (again) (damn meds!), I just wanna add that I received an email from the part-owner of some gold-selling site who wants me to review them. I am flattered. I mean, wow, this is so like in Hollywood where producers and directors scramble for publicity for their films. Do I dare call myself the Roger Ebert of the WoW gold guide industry?
Kidding aside, I appreciate the email, S**tt. Lemme mull over your request. I have a backlog of reviews just sitting there waiting to be processed (Cripes, I sound like a WoW gold-selling site customer support rep!). I need to recuperate. Then I need to hustle for, er, earn money so I can buy WoW gold.
On a final note, S**tt, let me clarify that my site is not a crusade against WoWMine. It’s a crusade against WoW gold sellers who make false claims, steal your money and accounts, and make life a living hell for paying customers. If a site lives up to its claims, it wins favorable reviews from yours truly and I will wax lyrical about it till Doomsday. It’s just unfortunate for WoWMine that I’d been picking on them for coming up with those ridiculous Olympic promo codes. But hey, maybe I’ll stop picking on them when they’ve found a copywriter who can write in good English minus the dirty innuendos.
Adios for now, amigos and amigas.
