WoW Gold Facts

This was part of the delivery instructions I got from ‘em MyMMOShop folks:



Orgrimmar again. Some of you might be wondering why gold sellers have a rabid preference for Orgrimmar (and Stormwind) to serve as the meeting place for the trade. A source told me it’s because sellers use Level 1-3 toons as couriers, and those toons can’t survive outside city limits (for obvious reasons). After they dispatch all that gold those lowbie toons get deleted right away. So forget about telling them to meet you in The Hinterlands or Searing Gorge. They’ll never make it and they’ll only curse you for putting them through endless corpse runs (how do you say @#$% in Chinese?).

Anyway, so I placed the order in the morning, worked till early evening, heated leftover stew, and sat in front of my PC. I logged in, saw that I forgot to turn over a quest in Undercity, and took the zep. So far, no whisper, not even from a spammer.

I arrived in Undercity and was about to run to the Royal Quarter when I got a whisper: “You ordered XXXX gold right?”

I stopped in my tracks. “Um yeah oh sh*t I’m in Undercity. Wait there I’m going to Org”

“Stay put.”

“What?”

“I’ll meet you there.” He invited me to his group.

No kidding. Did hell just freeze over? Anyway good luck, pal. Hope you don’t get devoured by ‘em bats and darkhounds.

So stay put I did and nervously wondered how many corpse runs he will have done by the time he gets here.

And…whoa. Forget about corpse runs. This was no lowbie with my money. I was greeted by a Level 45 toon on a mount!

“Quick. Trade.”

The entire amount was handed to me. He left the group and bolted away. Holy moly.

Order was filled in just under 12 hours. Delivery was made face-to-face. I was not asked to haul my ass all the way to Orgrimmar.

Kiddies, looks like we have a new medalist.

Okay, let’s buy gold from MyMMOShop.com. My wall clock, PC clock and wristwatch are synchronized. 10:48 AM, May 14.



Prices aren’t so bad. After I pay I’ll still have some money left over for Ramen noodles.



I’d rather get my gold via face-to-face trade, truth be told.

And voila….



Nice. Very straightforward transaction. I like it.

Countdown begins. Good luck to them!

Okay, review time, kiddies. Let’s check out someone relatively low-key this time. Next on the list - upon Remus’ suggestion - is MyMMOShop.com, a normally quiet old-timer who was suddenly thrust into the limelight (and the proverbial 15 minutes of fame) when it was announced early this year that it had been bought by some consortium for $10 million. Whether that amount is bull or not doesn’t interest me.  After that eyebrow-raising bit of news, MyMMOShop retreated back to its unassuming shell and went about its usual business. Regardless of dollar figures, I’d like to know how it’s been performing since it was acquired. I don’t hear much about this company and I have yet to see a promotional newsletter from them. So yeah, they’re just begging to be reviewed. Hehe.

Here’s their home page:

(Click for a larger image)



Nice layout. Easy on the eyes. No silly copy. And check out the testimonials, particularly the last one that says:

I thought buying WoW gold would involve dark, weird websites and shady deals with Chinese criminals who don’t speak English. But it’s totally not like that! These guys speak perfect English and offer 24/7 immediate assistance whenever needed! PERFECT!  -Frank Macdonald, USA

Frank, my man, whoever you are, I hope you are right ’cause I’m spending good money on this review. Yeah yeah I know there’s a 100% Guaranteed Delivery or Your Money Back promise but I’m tired of skewering gold sellers and just want to be impressed again this time!

Here’s the FAQ:



Deathless PayPal. Ho hum.

Delivery time is dependent on three things; supply and demand, if there are any problems with the order information provided (such as wrong server name /character name), and customer availability in those games that require face-to-face delivery. Our staff operates 7 days a week, 24 hours per day. We do everything possible to resolve issues quickly and to fulfill your order in the fastest possible time.

K, but no ETA? Need an ETA. Must ask Live Help.

(Note: the chat transcript is available at the end of this post for those who can’t see the images properly)

24 hours. K……

He answered the Memorial Day question pretty fast, I must say.

I’m not used to NOT seeing a company logo on the chat interface. I like no-frills gold sellers but this is a tad too bare bones for my taste.

Good chat. Good English. Impressive. I suddenly have a good feeling about this.

To order or not to order?

Hell, I’m ordering! I did say I have a good feeling about this, didn’t I?

Something’s always getting in the way of writing the next review — recent gold drought, Nantucket, a host of stupid scammy newsletters, that blind date I had yesterday (no I don’t wanna talk about it!) . And this morning, just as I was checking my email, I saw the equivalent of the Satanic verses in the inbox:

What the heck is this scam site’s marketing head honcho on?

"Don’t let those memories fade…"

(Sniffle, sniffle. Cue cheesy music:)

85% off ….

but applied only to the first 470g and to orders at least 1K. ROFL!!! Can you say bait-and-switch?

"Take WoWMine’s gift & play less " — I lost more than half a day to realm maintenance, doesn’t that qualify as "playing less"???

"Spend more for Mom!" –  That’s my dad’s job….and he bought her some tasteful bling-bling last week for Mother’s Day.

"Take Now" — Hell no. Bye now.

"Hi, are you there?"

Yeah, that was the deathless opening spiel we got from ‘em in-game spammers.  But guess what? I learned this evening that they’ve got a new line! No hi’s or hello’s — they just introduce themselves right off the bat.

Case in point:



"This is James."

And I was like, James from my guild???? I was a bit taken aback that James — Mr. Macho-Oozing-with-Testosterone — would roll a new toon and choose a girlie name like Druza when he’s known for coming up with badass names like Offaleater and Liverchewer.

Well, it didn’t turn out to be ol’ guildie James. Nope. It was James — most likely a pseudonym of some guy named Chang or Li or Ning — of RMT site WoWSoGood .

Cripes, they’re everywhere. Every friggin’ realm.

I know I said this soooo many times but please, people, do not support spammers. Do not buy WoW gold from companies that pollute the chats in the game with their spammy and scammy offers!  Do what I do: report them…and buy gold only from professional and ethical sellers.

In the meantime, "James", why don’t you take your toon on a leisurely sight-seeing trip? Must be boring there in Org. Here’s what you do: from Orgrimmar, run to Rocktusk Farm. Careful you don’t get killed by those raptors and scorpids. There’s a zep tower there. Go up. It’s a dizzying climb. When you get to the top, you’ll see a little green gremlin named Greeb Ramrocket. He’s the Borean Tundra Zeppelin Master and a dear friend of mine. Don’t talk to him though, you’ll only look retarded if you do.

Get on the zep. It’s pretty bare bones — no nuts, no drinks, no cute flight attendants passing around moist towelettes. You don’t need those; it’s gonna be a very short trip to Warsong Hold. No, it’s nothing like Orgrimmar. You’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

When you get to Warsong Hold, stand near the quarry and wait for Ith’rix the Harvester . When you see him, give him a good slap for me and tell him that’s for all the crap he put me and my guildies through.

Have fun.

Who likes Tuesdays? I don’t. But what can you do, eh? Blizz peeps have a job to do.

I received like seven emails from my readers complaining about the major downtime, and I saw plenty of whiny comments on the extended maintenance in sundry forums.

Sigh.

Look, guys, kvetching about it is not going to solve the problem. Blizz has been doing maintenance since time immemorial, get used to it. Maintenance is a necessity. While they’re busy fixing whatever they need to fix, go out in the sunshine and meet friends. Visit your folks. Take the dog for a walk.  Or go on a blind date .(cough, hyperventilate, cough)

Oooh, is that a hint of maturity you’re seeing in EGF?

As I get older each day — and the longer I play WoW — I’m learning to choose my battles and accept things the way they are in the game. Glitches happen. Downtime happens. Gnomes gank me. Nothing’s perfect.Weekly maintenance will always be there. I’d rather focus on the up side — I get to play most days, patches means new content and exciting changes, and another chance to exact revenge on Gnomes in a major way.

Let’s get a life on Tuesdays, kiddies. It won’t kill us.

G4P Customer Service
E-mail: services@g4p.com

No sh*t.  "Opportunities do not wait" so you grab ‘em. Like you grabbed the opportunity to create a rip-off site called WoW Gold Girl . A bit more research showed you guys as the rip-off artists responsible for that cheap pseudo-doppelganger. What is wrong with you, people?? Isn’t knocking off Louis Vuitton enough for you?!

Apparently not. (cue sarcastic laugh)

You guys disgust me.

Well that was a very sudden out-of-town trip…again. Friday morning my Dad was in my apartment ordering me to pack my overnight bag ’cause our summer cottage needs fixing (again) and he wants it perfect for Mother’s Day. "Let’s surprise your mother on Sunday with a neater house and all the flowers she likes."

I know what you’re thinking: aaaaaw, how sweet. Yup, my dad’s really crazy about my mom and will do anything to make her happy, even if it means dragging his youngest son out of bed at six in the morning and not caring if he had only two hours of sleep. (Fine, I woke up in the middle of the night to play WoW).  I swear I looked like the Undead by the time we landed in Nantucket. Freshly unearthed.

Anyhoo, this is what I missed when I was away: a forwarded WoWGoldHog spam newsletter from Remus.



I’m not sure what that wizard pig is but I can tell ya for sure that ain’t a woman.

Neither is the pig on the right. Remus thinks it looks like a (bleep)ing transvestite and that the graphic artist responsible for this crap is just that — a tranny.

This is an insult to all WoW-playing moms out there.

And get this: they’ll give ya 80% off….the first 100 gold. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Well, that was a laugh-fest I needed!

Hope no one bought from this scam artist!

Let’s put the latest review on ice (temporarily). This is a post that needs, er, posting and I’ll keep it at top spot until most, if not all, people get the message .

This is for the peeps who have ordered from gold sellers that earned a WoW Gold Facts medal but ended up not having a not-so-satisfactory experience.

First of all, the reviews and recommendations I make are based on MY personal experiences. I want to make it clear that while I do spend a lot of time gaming and reviewing WoW gold sellers, I am not an "official" or "licensed" by anyone or anything. Such a thing doesn’t exist.

As far as my reviews are concerned, all a gold seller has to do is:

1. Provide good customer service

2. Give truthful claims

3. Not engage in spam or unscrupulous practices

4. Deliver the gold within a reasonable timeframe.

If a site meets those expectations, he wins kudos and a WGF medal. Now if you didn’t have the same good experience I did, I’m sorry. I can only attribute it to the fact that no one is perfect, that even  the best businesses stumble along the way. If I do receive legitimate complaints about a medalist, I will certainly have to take a second look at them (by going through the normal buying-anonymously process) and check if their service still comes up to scratch.

If you readers are not happy with a WGF medalist, you are free to send me feedback but bear in mind that I can’t personally handle your complaints about said medalist. The most I can do is compile them and forward them to the gold seller in question (with your permission, of course).

Now as for the gold sellers reading this post, in order to keep your place in WGF’s good books, you need to listen to your customers and do all you can to stay consistent. Again, I know no one is perfect, but if I continue to receive more and more complaints from customers I will be constrained to downgrade your rating.

Any questions, shoot me an email.

Before I begin the next review, someone please enlighten me first:

Who or what is SusanExpress.com and why won’t she/he/it/they die?

Check out the image Cletus sent me:



[2. Trade] [Rawraw]: Dear Sir/Madam LZ click our site (www.SusanExpress.com). For the thankness to our old and new customers, SSEX provides the lowest price (1000G=$12.88USD) 30 mins to a few hours arrival of goods. Any time, Welcome to (www.SusanExpress.com)

No matter how many times you report the bastards, they always come back with a new toon to announce their sh*t in Trade chat.

I first saw the SSEX spam while riding around Desolace. I clicked "report", then went my merry way.

A few days later, I saw the same spam while hanging out in Dustwallow Marsh.

And then Cletus, while dancing a la Napoleon Dynamite in Grommash Hold in Orgrimmar (like he’d win brownie points from Thrall or something), saw the same garbage.

Has anyone else seen the SSEX spam? If yes, please don’t give up. Keep reporting the loser. And DO NOT BUY from SusanExpress.com. DO. NOT. SUPPORT. SPAMMERS.

Kiddies, I owe you all a review but Blizz is doing realm maintenance (I dislike Tuesdays) so I can’t order until the servers are up again. Let me just earn my daily bread today and when I get back home, I’ll zero in on my latest subject. I’ve chosen the lucky gold seller and you’ll know by tonight who that poor soul, I mean, that lucky site is. And like I said before, it ain’t gonna be one of ‘em RMT behemoths. I’m going to focus on those North American Mom-and-Pop, low-key types. I’ve had enough of the international ones who think nothing of lifting copy from other sources, speaking to their customers in broken English like bots, spamming customers like there’s no tomorrow, using celebrities’ photos in their newsletters (unauthorized use of pics, of course) and promising 5-minute deliveries. *cough cough*

I’m hoping, wishing, praying it will be a good review this time.

In other news, Cletus is working on a new widget for my site. Should be up in a couple of days. I’m excited about the additions to my blog site, apart from the advertisements. Slightly new look, same old EGF.

By the way, if you’ve got any funny spam newsletters you’d like to share, feel free to send them over to me. You know how I love a good laugh-fest. =D

Okay, time for my morning coffee and bagel with cream cheese.

Back in Org for more training. Checked the AH again. Saw nothing I liked. Then as usual, a plea for gold came up via yell:



Everyone ignored the guy, then 10 minutes later…



You know what? I started feeling sorry for him, and stood outside the AH with my pet debating on whether to give him the 35 gold or not.

Being a broke toon sucks and I want to help but…

If I help him, it might encourage him and others to keep up the cyber-begging (which infuriates a lot of players). But at least he’ll shut up and quit bugging people, and that’s one more happy toon for the Horde (cripes, I am such a friggin’ ambassador of goodwill!!!)

If I don’t help him, well does that make me a selfish, insensitive SOB?

Ha! And people say I don’t have a soft spot for lowbies.

What would you do in that situation, kiddies?

Thank you, WGF reader Sir Humphalot for giving me the URL to this laugh-fest:





IGXE appeals to the common sense of people to take precautions against the Swine Flu. We wish to deliver our concern to all the customers at IGXE. So here we planned this Care Programme to offer free thermometer and respirator for all our valued customers and donating $1 per order to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) regarding this Swine Flu.

You only need to email us with your Basic contacts such as Your name,  Present address , Postal Code and Phone number to this the email address: marketing@igxe.com .  We will mail the thermometer and respirator to you as soon as possible.

Now I know health care in this country is spotty sometimes but it never gets to the point when one becomes so desperate as to go to a gold seller for a free thermometer and respirator. Makes me wonder how IGXE can say "we will mail the thermometer and respirator to you as soon as possible" when they sure as hell can’t even deliver something as intangible as WoW gold. I’d also like to know how they can afford this sort of campaign.  But as Remus savagely puts it: "They will receive great returns  on their investment after they sell your name and contact details to every third party on the face of the earth."

"If you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue and then toss it out. " - Cripes, toss out my nose and mouth? The Chinese medical society is strict!

"Turn your face into the crook of your elbow, to keep germs from flying away. " - ..and send them hurtling towards the armpit area.

"If you develop a fever of 100.5F or higher…" - then what the heck are you doing at IGXE.com, fer chrissake! Go to a hospital. NOW!
