Yeah, do you really believe that players going into Argos and Valtan preferred to spend their hard earned pre knowledge gold or bought gold to buy mounts and pets at insane prices instead of honing or getting their character ready for raid?
That’s what I am saying too. It sounds like another fabricated story lol
This is like “Do you really believe people invested their money rather than immediately spend it?”. Yeah, I do. I did that. It’s why I got so far on $0. The profits went into paying for my raid gear and books.
Sweet, and how many characters in your roster were you able to have ready for Argos and Valtan carry by this method?
and given your previous stated history by you, you were able to make hundreds of thousands of gold from these transactions and STILL fall behind in gear progression rendering you failing to catch up. i.e. only way is to be ahead multiple characters roster wise (able to do carries) is to spend tons of real money on top, and again this gold could be legit or RMT. In the case of the streamer, it is possible that it is of RMT origin, we’re talking millions of gold to build such a roster.
You know what’s funny. We tried talking about this months ago. But nothing was addressed.
What myself and many others have done was at first try to send RMT gold to Asmongold to see if he’d get banned, or if he’s whitelisted. But he didn’t stream consistently enough. So then we went after a lot of unknown streamers, random players, whoever else. We had a massive amount of gold sent to all of them, and then massively reported them, nothing seemed to happen then we thought lets see if we can initiate a “3 day” ban on them, So we continued to send more and all we had to do was chargeback so we didn’t lose a single dime at all. Then all of a sudden many players now started receiving bans.
The amount of us who did this is a very large sum, and them not being able to do anything but ban players was amusing to me, as it just goes to show you their service is the same as it was on New World, as it is on here.
It’s only 500k. Plenty of f2p have that. Steam purchase history is useless in this case.
I didn’t fall behind, I stuck around to see if “Legion raids saved the game!” (spoiler: no) then bailed. Gold’s invested so I can come back if a miracle occurs and it has some sort of No Man’s Sky redemption arc.
I don’t know why some players in here think 500,000 is some unreachable numbers. It is entirely possible to do this, with a 6 roster sitting at 1370 or 1400 you can at least make 30k each week in Raid gold alone, not counting selling all materials
I know some took big advantages while the material prices were out of control back then and they stocked up banks in gold and turned around and spent may be a fraction of that to complete their 6-man roster.
My entire point was that it’s not the job of player or bus seller to determine the legitimacy of the gold - regardless of how suspecting it is. If someone is willing to pay, then the fault isn’t on the person accepting that, it’s the job of AGS/SG.
Believe it or not, but when a whale decide to hone or cutting a stone, you might as well claim that’s RMT gold because the fluctuation is crazy (50g stone can instantly go up to 500-1000g for example)
Nah it’s not but that is irrelevant, enjoy the bans moderation team won’t change, so we just keep getting more players banned as I said in post above. Maybe when enough get banned will make a difference.
Though now with what’s been going on people don’t accept as often. Funny how all the others had to be the test subject and get these bans for others to be hesitant on receiving gold.
Was a month behind where I expected to be, not a month behind everyone else. I was already good to go for Vykas hard mode there before Vykas released.
Perfect, then am sure when you have a roster of 6 characters or more, 11 in the case of the streamer, RNG will fall within norm range overall, meaning if lucky on some characters, it won’t be on others.
My question that you didn’t answer was, you were 1460 on main, what about your other characters levels? how many you had Argos/Valtan carry ready?
I left them at 1340. I could have made more gold leveling them and then running carries on multiple characters a week but that’s just way more time than I had to spend. You seem to think that having more high level alts is a cost. It’s an investment.
ex wow mythic raiders growing soft. Time’s change.
It is a huge cost to get them ready to carry at such material prices back then to later relax cost wise and benefit from them later.
Don’t cheat, don’t break the ToS then you don’t have to worry about this
It works like that in the real world as well:
using counterfeit money is a felony and will get you some jailed time
If he knows the gold is rmt already. Sure of just report him.
You are part of the community so act like one
Damn. Do you think we’re all born yesterday?
There’s no possible way to determine something is tainted by RMT gold in AH when prices are reasonable. I do not however put up listings of t1 accesories for 500k gold precisely because I know I can get banned on the off chance it gets bought.
I never said anything else. I said he was rmting himself.
And yes it does matter.
What do you think how he got caught?
He got caught because the system flagged him after he accepted rmt’d gold for a Valtan HM Run.
And that flag actually was teh reason, why they investigated his account and saw he rmt’d back then. Thats how he even got noticed as a rmter so yeah, it does matter.

Make real comparrisons, not strawmen.
If you sell a car and you are paid with stolen money, are you to go to jail? Do you have to hire a lawyer to background check the buyer?
No, in fact you get to keep the money. By law. Because the deal with you was lawful.
Now stop being ignorant and stupid, and think more.
