WoW Gold Facts

I’ve been tossing around the idea of buying gold and have been spending a considerable amount of time reading your site.  First of all, I’m curious how you have been able to carry out so many gold buying expeditions without being detected by Blizzard!?  It should be assumed that during the 5+ years they have been developing the game, their "risk flags" would be pretty solid.  You indicate in numerous posts that you have received gold through in-game mail.  Hmm.   Really though, it shouldn’t matter which method you use to receive the gold, the flags would go up as soon as you were to receive some arbitrary amount greater than or equal to x–whether by trade or mail.  Combine this with receiving gold from a potentially high risk source, who may have just participated in several other high gold amount transactions to different accounts not historically linked to them and it would just be a matter of a short time before your practices were discovered.  What about receiving purchased gold on an account with no history of ever having large amounts of gold in hand?  If I’m a level 40 character grinding along with a mere 250 gold and all of a sudden 1500 - 3000 gold falls in my lap from a character who drops off the map with no meaningful chat logs to justify the transaction — how is that not an invitation to get your account banned?

Hey Gavin,

Thanks for writing and here are the answers to your questions:

It helps to own several WoW accounts and spreading the gold across several alts. I even send some orders to my friends’ toons. As a rule of thumb, I don’t let one toon carry more than 5,000 gold. (Though the gold doesn’t stay too long. One always needs gems, enchants, etc., and my buddies are always groveling at my feet for free gold so….)

Yes, I have received gold in the mail and I’ve been quick enough to collect it. It helps I get alerts from Yahoo whenever the delivery confirmation email comes in.

I’m aware of the risks involved in dealing with a company whose mule accounts may get compromised and in turn, compromise my own account. Fortunately, I have yet to experience getting banned in the process. Maybe I’m just smart enough not to give my log-in details to those sellers, who often suggest this alternative (and dangerous) method of gold transfer. A change in the IP alone could get your account flagged.

"If I’m a level 40 character grinding along with a mere 250 gold and all of a sudden 1500 - 3000 gold falls in my lap from a character who drops off the map with no meaningful chat logs to justify the transaction — how is that not an invitation to get your account banned?" — 1)  I’ve always been iffy about sending heaps of gold to a character that’s NOT anywhere between Lvl 70-80.  A level 40 toon carrying such a large amount would always be suspect.   2)  From what info I’ve gathered since I started this site, the only time that receiving gold from a character that "drops off the map’ puts your account at risk is when the deleted toon’s account gets pounced on by the publisher, who could very well then investigate all trades made by the user of that account. Moral of the story: deal only with the most trusted sites who operate discreetly and on a secure platform. Hint: They’re easy to understand when you talk to them.

Hope that helps. Lemme know if you have more questions.

Best,

EGF
