“GOLD TRADING EXPOSED: THE DEVELOPERS” - Fourth and Last Installment Out
Hey, kiddies, Nick Ryan’s fourth and last installment of his Gold Trading Exposed series is out. Check it out at this Eurogamer page . This time, the spotlight is on the publishers - all anti-RMT, surprise, surprise. Yours truly isn’t mentioned in the article but hey, it’s still worth a read. LOL.
About those accounts that get stolen…in the first place, one shouldn’t even provide their WoW account username and password to gold sellers. Giving RMT sites access to youraccount is akin to signing your own (and your toons’) death warrant. That’s also akin to giving your ATM PIN and CARD to random strangers. I can’t stress enough that the safest way to receive your gold is by mail or face-to-face trade. I’d stay away from gold sellers that invite you to try their third delivery option, which is to give them your account log-in details. Any site that offers this dangerous (and dubious) method spells S-C-A-M-M-E-R in my books.
So how long do I think this gold war will last? Hey, as long as MMORPG players like me have a need for currency, there’s no stopping the industry from growing. Wish publishers and gold sellers will someday work together towards a compromise, but that’s like wishing for Bill O’Reilly and Keith Olbermann to bury the hatchet over tea and blueberry scones.
New review coming up tomorrow. Thanks to my friend Vince for helping me out by placing an order and providing screenshots. Last update I got from him: it’s been more than 24 hours since he kissed his money goodbye. Not a good sign. Perhaps post-sales support will redeem our latest victim, er, subject?
Lastly, check out my MySpace blog tribute to my neighbor Mr. G. who passed away a few days ago. I miss you, old dude.
