WoW Gold Facts

This is the final chapter of the saga featuring Andrea and her dealings and debacle with all things THSale .

To recap, Andrea was an unhappy customer of THSale. She switched to another seller hoping to get away from an annoying "VIP Manager" named Brad who turned out to be a Very Irritating Pest. Imagine her shock when the second seller she ordered from turned out to be owned by THSale. Then she makes another attempt at switching sellers, only to find out that yeah, it’s another one of ‘em THSale minions.

She emailed me today to let me know how her follow-up chats with InWoWGold’s "customer support" turned out:

Hi EGF,

I am through with these people. It’s been more than a week since I ordered from inwowgold and I still don’t have my gold. I asked for a refund but they said to give them more time. I spoke to Vae, then Alinna who originally handled my complaint about Brad, and then Amanda . Here are my convos with them. I don’t mind the bad English but I hate the scripted responses and the lame excuses. I’m not getting the customer service I deserve. I don’t think they sincerely want to help me. Look at how they dismissed me. I’m going to try to get my money back. Wish me luck.

Amanda: Dear ,i have just asked our guy ,and they told me they are collecting the gold for you now with their time and effort,when they have finished ,they will contact you asap and i will hurry them also until you have recieved your gold okay:)

===================================

EGF’s Note: No, Amanda and InWoWgold, it’s not okay. It’s not okay to make a customer wait for over a week because you’re still collecting something you didn’t have in the first place. Not all the smiley icons and terms of endearment in the world  can change the fact that your service sucks. Why can’t you just give her her money back? If you’re having a hard time farming for the gold, you might as well tell the customer, rather than stall and test her patience. But why am I not surprised it has come to this? Given who your parent company is, you’re all one big T otal H oax. I will continue to spread the word about you. Good luck in finding more customers. You’ll need it.

Oh, and tell one of your minions to remove my medal from their crappy website! You all suck and blow!

"You have been disconnected from the server."

And an hour later, on yet another toon…

Latency spiked to a jaw-dropping 9K.

And of course….

‘You have been disconnected from the server."

This has been going on for the last three days.

Kids, no review until this gets sorted out and my blood pressure drops.

Later.

To the General Manager / Head Honcho / Bunion Scraper to the Owner of MyEasyGold.com:

How are ya? I’d like to call your attention to the WoW Gold Facts silver medal that is displayed at the bottom of your landing page.  How it ended up there when I have never reviewed nor purchased from your site is something I can only guess till I’m blue in the face. My best friend Cletus thinks it’s because you guys are unethical, period. My other best friend Remus thinks you’re a douchebag, period. I think you did it to:

a) annoy me on purpose

b) mislead customers on purpose

c) spare your weak brains from thinking of an original footer for the home page

d) save money (I bet you’re too cheap to hire a graphic designer)

e) make yourselves look credible and professional when the sad truth is you are nothing but  a worthless, scamming, lying pile of llama dung.

I told my readers in my previous post never to buy gold from your company and I will continue to do so even after you’ve removed that medal image from your website. Oh yeah, I know what you’re thinking: Bad publicity from EGF is still publicity. I remember a certain idiot (who was probably high on crack when he told me this) that there is no such thing as bad publicity. Suuuuuuure, tell that to Bernard Madoff and his thieving ilk.

At this point I should be telling you to go suck a rock but hey, maybe you’d like to present your side? Perhaps you’d like to send an email my way to explain why you stole the image from IGE (the real silver medalist) and slapped it on your cheap website? I promise not to laugh at your crappy English.

I’ll be waiting for your reply.

For the Horde,

Extreme Gold Fan

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SOB:



"Go to their home page and scroll down!" Cletus barked on the phone.

And this is what I saw:

(Click for a larger image)



@#$%!!!!!!!!!

"Since when did I give this steaming piece of turd dumpling the WoW Gold Facts silver medal???!!!" I shouted.

"Uh, like never? Just thought I’d alert you, buddy."

"Who the (bleep) owns this sh*t?!"  I swear I was about to pop a vein that very moment.

"TPMT Game Service, Inc."

"WHAT THE @#$%?? THOSE THSALE ASSHATS???"

"Correct."

Thsale, you spamming, lying, plagiarizing, scamming son of a bitch. You have a lot of F*CKING NERVE using my WGF badge on your retarded microsite. You demented, worthless piece of dung-filled dim sum. How I would love to shove a couple of poisoned chopsticks up your pathetic ass now. Are you so desperate for my validation that you just had to stick that medal on your little site to earn the trust of innocent gold buyers? Shame on you, shame on you, shame on you. If there was an achievement for downing THSale in real life, I would organize a 40-man raid and sack your stupid headquarters.

DO NOT BUY FROM THSALE AND ITS SPAWN!

WOW GOLD FACTS DOES NOT AND WILL NEVER ENDORSE ANY OF THE GOLD-SELLING SITES OF TPMT GAME SERVICE, INC.

IF YOU SEE THE NAME TPMT GAME SERVICE, INC . ON THE PAYPAL PAGE, DO NOT PROCEED! LEAVE THEIR SITE ASAP! SPREAD THE WORD AND WARN YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THSALE/TPMT!

If you ask me what I think are the two major things I learned in the 17 months I’ve been reviewing WoW gold sellers, I’d tell you that:

a)  There is rampant incest in the virtual currency industry. Only after you’ve hit the PayPal button you realize that you just bought from a spawn of the last f*cktard who screwed you;

and….

b) Almost everyone lifts copy from someone else’s site

Let’s discuss Letter B first. I’m totally against plagiarism. It’s dishonest. It’s a sign you’re either too stupid or lazy to write your own stuff. It’s stealing ideas. It’s just so wrong.

But apparently it ain’t wrong in the eyes of these gold sellers. Look at the little exhibit I put together based on one paragraph from their respective About Us pages. Oh before you proceed, a little warning: please don’t even think of buying from them. Would you trust a plagiarist?









Idiots!

But hey, maybe they’re related to one another. Perhaps inbreeding IS the way to go in the RMT industry! Hoo ha!

Anyway, regarding Letter A…

Reader Juniperberry emailed me asking why I haven’t posted a new review yet. Well, Juniperberry, here’s the situation: my buddies and I have been making all these test orders on random sites plucked from a Google search on "wow gold" and here’s what we discovered:

- On page 1 of the search results, nearly 75% of the listed gold-selling sites belong to ONE company notorious for its rabid spamming in and out of the game - Total Hoax, I mean THSale.com. (Note to Andrea : I know EXACTLY how you feel)

- The next few pages revealed more sites which still belong either to the former or to another shameless spammer - Goldsoon.

They’re all related it’s freaky. It’s like finding out that you fathered your own grandparents or something.

Anyhoo, knowing those spammy and scammy SOBs are related, why would I then give my money to individuals who have given us grief inside and outside the game? The spam alone is enough to send you to my blacklist.

I guess I can let the incestuous relationships between sellers slide, but I can never tolerate a company that deceives and hassles players and buyers alike!

So wish me luck, folks, as I continue the hunt for a gold seller that:

1.  doesn’t believe in using dead toons for advertising purposes

2. doesn’t stalk customers a la Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction

3. doesn’t steal ideas, copy, etc. from another gold seller

I’m not asking for the moon now, am I?

Remember "Andrea" from my Wailing Wall post ? The one who was stalked by a so-called VIP manager of THSale named Brad?

After buying gold from ThSale, Brad started pestering her in the game asking her when she planned to buy more gold because he could give her a discount code. He did that to her every hour of the hour, whether she was running an instance or just hanging out somewhere. He’d ask her to recommend his company to her other friends. He’d pop up in her YM. Talk about irritating.

Like the proverbial turd in the toilet bowl that won’t flush.

Then Andrea and her husband decided to try another seller, WoW Gold Bank, which to their horror turned out to be owned by THSale. And then Brad called Andrea’s phone demanding to know why she ordered from one of their sister sites (he must be starving to death IRL to be that P.O.’d over the loss of his commission) when she could have ordered again from THSale.

As if telling her off on the phone wasn’t enough, he expressed his utmost disappointment again to her in the game. The guys needs help.

Now Andrea is back angrier than ever because she bought gold from a site called In WoW Gold and….

Yup, yet another site owned by THSale.

And guess who came a-stalking her on chat?

None other than the great Bradten:



Get this: guy goes insane when he sees in their system that Andrea ordered from another sister site (there goes his rent money), he phones her, tells her they never received her money (though the dollar amount was already taken out of her PayPal account), then in chat gives her the name of two sites she can buy from and that she shouldn’t buy anymore from In WoW Gold. The lying, bossy son of a b*tch.

Are all of THSale’s reps like this???

Freaky!

Heck, if they’re anything like Brad, I will keep the (bleep) away from THSale and forget about giving them another chance at redeeming themselves. Lord knows I have too many weirdos IRL after my hide, I don’t need another one polluting my virtual life.

And oh, this just came in: Andrea is happy to report that Brad’s toon has been deleted. He’s no longer on her ignore list. She had complained about him to In WoW Gold’s customer service. What was weird was that IWG’s rep firmly denied that they were a THSale site! But after Andrea gave them proof of her online chat with him, (I’m guessing) they hunted Brad down and killed him for trying to take away their sale.

Okay, that was too much but again, I was just guessing.

So in the meantime, Andrea is Brad-less and happy.

Now if only In WoW gold would give her her gold or her money back….

WHOA WHOA WHOA…



With Oofay.com now officially closed I just wanted to ensure that you’ve had a chance to visit our newest MMORPG store, Gaming4Less.com .

WTF???

G4L was built by gamers for gamers that were fed up with faceless MMO shops that charged over-inflated prices and offered non-existent customer support. At G4L, I promise that this won’t happen.

Oh okay, I thought G4L was built by a bunch of people that were fed up with getting slapped with lawsuits and charging their hapless customers over-inflated prices and offering them non-existent customer support. Oh geez, what was I thinking. Thanks for clarifying that one for me, Ian old boy.



At least I can tell my readers to be wary of the "newest MMORPG store".

Want a little history lesson?

Here are links to a few old posts to help refresh your memory…and warn the new readers:

http://www.wowgoldfacts.com/2009/08/02/wowminecom-hustler-par-excellence-with-a-lot-of-nerve-plus-and-i-mean-a-lot-of-nerve/

http://www.wowgoldfacts.com/2009/07/26/evony-and-ivory-nuthin-black-and-white-here/

http://www.wowgoldfacts.com/2009/06/17/microsoft-vs-the-lams-of-wowminecom-civil-case-no-c09-0815/

http://www.wowgoldfacts.com/2009/03/04/a-wtf-post-wow-gold-pig-gets-ripped-offand-blatantly-at-that/

So you still wanna buy from the "newest MMORPG store"?

Buyer beware.

In other news, check out the Cnet.com article Report: Virtual Currency No. 1 Digital Goods Purchase ! I am not alone, you are not alone!  FINALLY, some real research showing:

1. Just how prevalent - AND IMPORTANT - RMT is

2. That companies allowing gamers to actively customize their gameplay experience by purchasing virtual assets monetize better.

Heck, those are you-have-to-be-insane-to-ignore-them numbers proving that MANY, MANY gamers want/need RMT!

Oh lemme just add to that, in case some gold seller decides that this data gives him carte blanche to justify peddling his wares in the game to the hungry gold-buying denizens:

MANY, MANY gamers want/need RMT…NOT SPAM. Just because we want to buy virtual stuff doesn’t mean you have to shove your spam down our throats.

Don’t call us. We’ll call you, okay?

Remember that.

Understand that.

If you want our business, respect us inside and outside the game!

Um, interesting comment from a guy named Mike:

F*CK WOWMINE, UMGE AND THEIR UNDERHANDED TACTICS THEY ARENT ABLE TO SUE YOU GUYS FOR HOSTING THE COURT DOCS FROM MS VS ERIC LAM THOSE ARE PUBLIC DOCUMENTS!!!!!!! THEY HAVE MADE THREATS VS YOU IN WHICH YOU CAN SUE THEM FOR + THEY ARE SUEING A MAN NAMED BRUCE EVERISS FOR TELLING PEOPLE WHO THEY ARE.

Wow, you mean those people actually toyed with the idea of suing me for displaying a copy of the lawsuit Microsoft slapped them with? That’s news to me….

But you’re right, it’s a public document which means anyone can view them. It ain’t the Warren Commission report, for God’s sake!

I just checked my WGF email and there’s no new threat from that camp (yet).

However, I’ll let you know when I DO get threats. In fact, it’ll be my pleasure to display them here, nicely framed with hearts and butterflies and unicorns.

Bruce Everiss has my sympathy and support. 100%! He’s doing a great job exposing the shady network of the Dynamic Duo on his site. Too bad he’s become the victim of a smear email campaign courtesy of the Scourge the Leper Gnomes His Lordship and the Knights of the Scammy Table. But that comes with the turf. You expose someone for propagating malware and sh*t, don’t be surprised if you end up on their hit list and get messages like "you compensate for your small sex organ by being  a big bully."  Lawlz.

I really should get used to all that garbage.  Hell, I haven’t even made it big in Hollywood yet and already I’m dealing with stealthy sharks.

Eh, back to WoW. We’re doing Utgarde Keep - Heroic. Later.

Okay, Cletus is going to murder me for logging in to this Wordpress account right after I promised him that I won’t do any posts until he fixes the slight technical catastrophe we ran into 5 hours ago (it was my fault, by the way).

But I’m only human (IRL, not in the game), which means I am vulnerable to breaking promises even to my own best friend.  (excuses, excuses)

Anyhoo, I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize to those I recently offended. Judging from the recent (unapproved) comments — all with crappy English and masked IPs AND fake email adds — it’s high time I say sorry to the gold sellers whose ire I earned.

*sarcasm alert*

But since I was never really good at apologies, I figured I needed an apology generator to get me started. This could serve as a template of sorts in the future as I make more enemies along the way…

Luckily, I stumbled into this nifty little thing which sprouted right after Kanye West did that sweet little Taylor Swift wrong.



Neato, eh? Here is the output…and to ya’ll gold sellers who got a thumbs down from me (and certain readers), hope my apology will suffice.  =D

Heya kids, Cletus and I have started backing up all WoW Gold Facts posts in preparation for a bigger, better WGF! I won’t say much at this point because I might run out of money in the middle of the project, leading Cletus to abandon me (he won’t accept apples as payment).

You stay tuned, keep a watch out for this page (yeah even you haters out there who love to leave profound comments but are too scared to leave a real email address to personally send me more proof of your claims…whatever, buddy boys, you’re not worth my time though I admit I sometimes feel so charitable that I want to sponsor your ESL program) and wish me luck. I am hoping and praying that this upgrade will be without hitches. And I hope after I’ve paid my good friend I’ll still have some money left over for reviews.

BTW, before I go, I just want to add that I toyed with the idea of reviewing sites that sell epic gear. But when I checke dthe price of one purple, I nearly had cardiac arrest. Nearly $470 for an Ensorcelled Nerubian Breastplate ??? Fuhgeddaboutit!

I’ll just stick to buying WoW gold.

This is part 2 of Katydid’s experience with MyGameSale:

********************

I contacted Mygamesale to tell them I’d like a refund equal to the gold I didn’t receive. I did this after waiting another 3 hours. Hubby’s order is still 600g short. They told me to give them more time. I looked at their buying page one more time to see how much stock they’re displaying on my server.



19435 so why do they still want more time??  So those numbers are fake? Like their 30 minute delivery promise? They’re liars! They won’t refund my money until now, because Orchid (her again!) said they alreay delivered some of the gold and they don’t do partial refunds. Isn’t this against the law?

I really wish I ha dknown about your site before I bought the gold. Your medalists’ prices are cheaper and I’m sure I’ll get the same great service you received from them.  I am SO DISAPPOINTED in mygamesale and I really WANT YOU TO PUBLISH MY STORY TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT THEM! They are liars, scammers and spammers. Hubby found some sites with a lot of spam from mygamesale:

http://www.mzinga.com/en/Community/Blogs/Aaron-Strout/Cleaning-Out-the-Desk-Drawer/

http://www.linux-archive.org/archlinux-development/23420-marked-out-date.html

http://www.ithinkitsaripoff.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=print;num=1219038094

I’m glad that there is a site such as Wow gold facts to help players like us and I will help you by letting you know about other sites that may be trying to scam others. Thank you for your time and more power to your site.

"Katydid"

Go ahead, order your gold, kiddies, because today there ain’t gonna be the usual downtime!

Just when I thought I was seeing things (or not seeing things, because I kept waiting for th Breaking News to show up on the log-in page), Wow.com’s Daniel Whitcomb confirmed the No-Downtime-News in his post .

Here’s the excerpt fom the post that really got me psyched:

Here’s some good news for all of you who play during the early morning hours pacific coast time: There’s no downtime this week . Blue poster Wymdar has announced that there will be no rolling restarts and no downtime for the majority of servers…

"Yes, there is a God!" rejoiced Cletus.

Hallelujah!

Hi Katydid, as promised I am reprinting your review on MyGameSale.com, who also happens to be a former review subject here on WoW Gold Facts.

******************

I Googled the words ‘wow gold’ and clicked mygamesale.com because it was the first thing I saw in the results. I bought 5000g so I could finally pay for Artisan Riding training and buy enchanting mats.

Im on the Blood Furnace server alliance. They said they had 28,098 gold available on my server. I told  Orchid the live help agent that I wanted it within the day if that was possible. She said yes and in fact they could deliver in 30 mins. I told her that if they couldn’t give it to me in 24 hours I’ll cancel my order. She said no worries you will get your gold, just go online after you pay.

After paying for the 5000g my husband asked me to buy 3000g for his character on Ghostlands Horde. I asked live help — Orchid again — if they had 3000g to deliver within half an hour. She gave me the same answer no worries you will get your gold, just go online after you pay bla bla.

We logged and waited for our gold. After 20 minutes Hubby got a tell to meet them in Ratchet. But they gave him only 1k. They told him to wait for another character to give him the 2000. He told them, hey my wife is waiting for her order on Blood Furnace. They said they’re not in charge of my order. Hubby stayed in Ratchet waiting for the next tell.

Suddenly I got a tell from someone who said, "5000g?"  I said yes. "SW bank". So I went there and guess what? I got only 800g. Where’s the rest I said? Just like what they told my hubby, another character was coming any minute to complete the order.

30 mins later, hubby got 300g. He said, I can’t stay in ratchet too long Wintergrasp is about to start. They said come back later.

I got another 300g after waiting in the SW bank for half an hour. I was starting to lose my patience. I visited live chat and got Orchid again. I asked her I thought you had over 28k gold available and she said "the number is not updated". I was like what?? Not updated or are you intentionally misleading your customers? She could only apologize and say "stay in game, someone is coming".

I was starting to get suspicious and while waiting I looked up their company on Google and that’s when I saw what you wrote about them. I suddenly regretted buying from them but I also hoped that maybe I could get all my gold soon.

Another character approached me to say he had 500g for me. I lost it there and said WHY CAN’T YOU GIVE ME THE ENTIRE AMOUNT WHY AM I GETTING IT IN PIECES??? THIS IS SO ANNOYING AND INCONVENIENT!!! He logged without replying and I visited Live help again — orchid again! She said please don’t worry we will give you the gold and I said WHEN?? EVERY THIRTY MINUTES? I can’t stay in SW forever! She said please wait some more.

I phoned a friend to tell her about Mygamesale and she checked them herself. She got on live chat and this is their conversation. Just look at how they lie!

Please wait for a site operator to respond.You are number ‘1′ in the queue. Your wait time will be approximately ‘0′minute(s) and 5′ seconds.

You are now chatting with ‘Melody’

Melody: Hello, nice to meet you!  How may I help you?

Gwen:  Hi do you have 5000 gold on Blood Furnace?

Melody:  =D  Alliance or horde?

Gwen:  Alliance.

Melody:  Ok let me check the stock for you ok?  =D

Gwen:  K

Melody:  =D

Melody: we are busy collecting now , and if you place an order now , and after we get your payment , we will fill your order as soon as possible and you can get it in 1-4 hours , is that okay ^^

Gwen:  Busy collecting now??

Melody:  ^_^    =D

Melody:  Yeah  =D

Gwen:  So that means you don’t really have 28098 gold on Blood Furnace.

Melody:  As our stock changing in every minute with every collecting and delivering, so it’s hard to update, sorry for that

Gwen:  You don’t automatically update that? Is that intentional so you can mislead customers?

Gwen:  you guys are lying then

Melody:   =(

Melody:  So sorry   >_<

Melody: just cause so many orders every secs

Gwen:  You really should update the numbers whenever a chunk of your supply gets delivered to a customer.

Melody:  ok  we wil

Gwen:  My friend is getting her order in pieces why can’t you deliver all in one go?

Melody:  we are busy collecting now

Gwen:  Why did you tell her you had the gold?

Melody:  As our stock changing in every minute with every collecting and delivering, so it’s hard to update, sorry for that

Gwen:  LOL this chat is retarded

I’m back and so is my insomnia. I decided to reprint my MySpace blog post here because for the umpteenth time, I saw some pending comments from people demanding that I remove my recommended sites from the medal roster or Honorable Mention section because "they suck".

People, the deathless line "they suck" ain’t gonna work…especially if you included an invalid email address along with your comment. Here’s why:

If you have a legitimate complaint about one of my recommended sites and you insist that I reevaluate said gold seller, you better be honest - and brave - enough to leave a real email address so I can get in touch with you for more details. I’m not going to be swayed by your one-liner whining into giving a medalist or honorable mention awardee the boot, because I demand FACTS - not fabrication - in order for me to properly investigate any slip-ups. A sentence like "they didn’t give me my gold and it’s been 7 days they suck" isn’t going to cut it. I’ve seen trollish comments like that one come from very suspicious IPs, leading me into thinking they could have been written by a competitor of one of my awardees.

Or maybe such a comment could have come from a real customer who might have been hesitant to give his email address for fear I might forward it to the seller without his permission. FYI: I will never share or divulge my customer’s contact details to ANYONE unless I have their blessing. Hope that settles whatever apprehension you might have.

However, it’s not really my job to come in between a customer and a seller to set things right between them. That’s the job of the seller’s customer support team. My job is to hunt for the best sites we can shop at, and keep checking on the consistency of their service. You as a customer and reader of my site can help me with the latter by providing me with useful and truthful information, but if you choose to cloak yourself behind a fake email add and not provide me with the facts, then you’re only fooling yourself and pissing me off.

Additionally, someone asked me if I would ever give the RMT sites who did poorly in past reviews a chance to redeem themselves. My answer to that is: definitely! Well, maybe except for those who engage in rabid spamming because that very act alone DISQUALIFIES one from getting into my good books, and I’d rather stick a fork in a socket than plunk down money  to reevaluate a notorious in-game spammer because, hell, what’s the point of spending on a "second-chance review" that will just end up badly?

And yeah, in case you’re wondering, I HAVE revisited a few victims to see if there’s been any improvement in their service.

Unfortunately, three out of the three I checked still didn’t do so well.  =(

Wow, so Cletus finally got around to taking down the poll and handing over the results to yours truly. I  thought he had forgotten all about it. Remind me to start paying him ON TIME!

So I asked you guys to imagine an RMT-less scenario where we have to farm for our own gold…

And 34% of you said you’d keep your WoW sub but PROBABLY not for long.

29% of you don’t care because you already have all the gold you need. (Well, lucky you!)

24% said they don’t have the time to work for their own virtual moolah so they’ll just cancel their sub.

13% said they’ll keep their sub, throw their dignity out the window and just beg for gold.

I created that poll when the news broke out that the Chinese govenment was going to stamp out RMT for good, which turned out to be a whole misunderstanding.Whew.

Still gave me quite a fright though. Imagine yourself as a new WoW player, without a solid set of friends in the game to guide you and give you start-up money for better gear and stuff…and you have no choice but to farm your own gold. And as you level — painfully — no one wants you in their raids because your gear sucks or you don’t have a mount yet and they don’t want to have to wait for you. Sad, eh?

Oh well, moving on….

I have a whole bunch of alts I need to level to 80 before Cataclysm drops next year. I want them all geared and vicious  and ready for the new content.

And no, no Alliance among those alts.

In your dreams, buddy boy.
