Do people really get banned for buying gold? - Page 2

Bah, I know you are right - I just wanted to have some fun with the question and actually considered buying some gold the other day. But it really isn't worth the hassle and the possibility of a banning, etc. I actually have great gear except for my bow so I didn't have a great need anyway.

On a more serious level, I'd imagine most people do not get banned for buying coin, as the RMT industry is as strong as ever. It's like buying drugs - chances are, nothing will happen if you pick up a dime bag or 8-ball here or there, but the more often you do it, and if you buy larger quantities, your chance of getting busted increases substantially.

So, if you were to buy 10pp once, chances are, you'll get away with it. If you buy 100pp a month, you'll get caught sooner or later.

I was chatting with a nice female rep from ******** on their website, and then I linked a tinyurl shortcut to tubgirl and she kicked me from the chat. =(

Krysten, on the official forums in the nek section, I had a series of screenshots of me getting the same Plat Seller to click various tinyurl links to Last Resort, he just kept falling for it, so I kept SS'ing and setting it up.. was epic, then mods deleted it like an hour later

hahaha, I don't think people get banned buying plat. It would be like banning the people cheating with tradeskill programs and would hurt the bottom line.

On a side note, I had my single biggest custom tradeskill order on Nagafen from a plat buyer. He had just made the toon (ranger) and was twinking like mad. I had a 40 alchy, jeweler, and armorer, so he got a full set of tier 2 blackened iron armor, hex dolls, full adept3's, blackened iron dual wields, adornments, silver jewelry, and mastercrafted poisons. At the time blackened iron clusters were going for over a plat each on the broker.

Anyway, making small talk while making all his shit, he had flat out said he made a toon on naggy after playing on vox and didn't feel like making the money and bought a ton of plat. As a tradeskiller, it worked out well for me as i got a 5p tip haha. I'm sure he's still out there XP locked at lvl 14 owning the commonlands, graveyard, sprawl, and wailing caves!

You should have linked them the one site with the (NSFW) two girls that involves one cup (NSFW)...that is more sickening than tubgirl I assure you.

Really had to watch how I wrote that cause I didn't want people to see it and start going there then report me to LFG, I don't want to get in trouble

If someone buys me EoF, I will buy the plat, and test it out, it will be my charitable contribution for the year, some poor chinese bastard might get 35 cents an hour out of my transaction...
