INCEST IN THE RMT INDUSTRY: BET YOU’RE YOUR OWN GRANDPA Plus No Honor Among Plagiarists
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?

LOL. Copycats. I know I have read that somewhere. I guess it’s from IGE. These spammy = scammy sites don’t have originality and they don’t have the capability of writing a paragraph with no grammatical error (based on chat transcripts and emails). So people should be aware that these sites are the spammy = scammy ones that only copy their info from the big sites like IGE and Wowgoldpig.

LOL imagine a family tree with no branches, just one straight line. Inbreeding FTL!

Well, these are just some of it. If I find more, I’ll post it here.
People, beware of the sites copying from the original. Some of it may have been the culprit for the scammy = spammy messages in-game and on the interweb. THESE ARE SCAMMERS! BE SURE TO AVOID THEM!
