As title says, just wondering, as it would be a banning party for game admins.. you could ban 100's of goldsellers/spammers a day instead of banning people that actually play the game.

this picture was made after standing in temple of balthazar for 1 minute max.

...I always get at least 3 of those in the 5 secs I spend in Balthazar's after I make a PvP character

It's more efficient to let all the idiots to congegrate in one place.

If you feel morally violated, go somewhere else or turn off Local. Takes 2 seconds.

People continue to say it's not against the rules to advertise the site.

I think that's BS, though.

If I was a game admin, I wouldn't go there either. I might catch e-STDs from all the people cybering there.

Issue is not him minding it.

Issue is anet not taking any obvious advantage of huge amount of egold related accounts that basically walk with "ban me" target painted on em.

If you ban them, they just buy another account and go spam somewhere else, i.e. LA/Kaineng/Kamadan ID1.

What's more practical?

Means more money for anet doesnt it? Are you just pretending to be smart or what?
Eventually they won't make any money from it anymore .

What's the cost of a GW account nowadays; $5? $10?

I believe the salary of NCSoft/ArenaNet support team members costs a little more than that...

Development teams should never show apathy towards their own game. Every MMO has this problem; it's not a matter of cost/reward, it's a matter of company integrity. Granted that it's nigh-impossible to "stomp out" gold/account selling, it's of my opinion that the company has responsibility to keep their game clean and discourage this activity.

The Admins don't touch Guild Wars anymore... They spend 10+ hours a day working on it for almost five years... They are sick and tired of Guild Wars. Not to mention they don't give a crap about their game anymore... They have made millions of dollars. Why do they care about a couple gold ads?

Gold Farmers have gone untouched for years. They have been spamming in Ascalon International for years, with nothing done. Same case with all the bots in Elona... been their for ages. Same case with bots in Droknar. Bots and Gold Farmers have been rampant in Guild Wars for years. Nothing to see here, lets move along to our next QQ moar thread.

That's what happens when you don't have a monthly fee; a smaller, less effective support team.

Crescent Sky · Dec 25, 2007, 08:13 PM // 20:13

well i see no one has gotten it yet. The reason they don't ban any of those accounts is because they're trial accounts. The bots in Balthazar iD1 that spam their sites are all trial accounts, so they can ban them, but those goldsites will just get on another trial account and keep spamming.

QFT!

I love how people complain about 15$ monthly fees... but honestly if you can't afford 15$ a month then you shouldn't be wasting time on video games. It's rather easy to make money if you put your mind to it, in the last couple months I been bringing 10,000+ dollars a month and I don't even have a college degree, let alone a high school diploma.

More money = More money in budget for game = Everything gets improved.... Makes me sad that we receive such crappy support... waiting weeks for responses from support.
