BEWARE THE AUCTION HOUSE METHOD!!!
PLEASE READ AND BE WARNED!
Kids, I know I owe you a truckload of things for posting but this one needs publishing NOW to warn those who are still agreeing to the Auction House trade method to accept their gold.
Just about an hour ago I was in Dalaran repairing when this Trade chat snippet caught my attention and made my stomach turn:
Now because it gets laggy whenever I’m in Dal, I got d/c. I missed the rest of the messages, but Cletus was fortunate enough to stay online and relay to me what he read in Trade.
"Dude, they said they’re going to report the Linen Cloak guy. Said GM should investigate him AND the player who’ll buy his overpriced sh*t as it could potentially be an RMT thing."
"And that’s why I always decline the AH method," I said.
"I know, too obvious, right?"
"You think they’ll ACTUALLY report the Linen Cloak guy?" If that guy was indeed a gold buyer, I’m starting to feel so sorry for him.
"Dunno but his auction has made everybody so suspicious, I won’t be surprised if at least one of them DOES report his suspicion to Blizz. Hell, makes me wanna shoot every genius seller who tells buyers to put up something in the AH ‘because it’s safer’ when it’s actually shouting to the whole world ‘hey, a gold seller AND ONLY A GOLD SELLER is gonna buy my ridiculously-overpriced junk’ for 1kg a stack!’"
"Like I always say, that method is about as subtle as a train wreck."
"Poor L***."
Right. Poor L***.
Should have stuck to face-to-face trade.
Moral of the story, kids: say no to the AH trade and stick to face-to-face or mailbox. It’s safer and more discreet.

oh fruck poor L***
that ought to teach us (especially me) not to agree to the AH trade. i did that once when i bought gold for my alt and i was naive to think that no one would notice that level 5 mail gloves were on sale for 2000g.
on hindsight, my auction stuck out like a sore thumb

Oh damn….
Poor L***. How can anyone think that that method is ‘faster and better’?
