Actually, Anet cannot sells Gold piece for Money. I believe that it would be monetary creation, which is illegal. If they put an exchange rate between $ and gp then gp become real money controlled by Anet which will not be tolerated by legal authority I believe.

The problem with the gold selling company is not that they are selling their object (at least in my point of view) but that they are not playing the game. They use bots by hundreds. If there were no cheater, I don't see why prevent people to sell their item for real money (after al they are selling their time).

But if Anet or mass bot usinggold company sell Gold Piece they actually make huge creation of money (and somewhat real money). Mass creation of money will result in drastic inflation that will actually make your bought gold worthless...

This is already the case (because of gold company and GWEN) as the price of the Elite armor don't follow, then their intrinsic value are dropping.

So definetly your proposal is not good. Beside, it is again the skill > time and money.

I suggest you buy Gwen, it is the cheapest way to get a lot of money (on dungeon give 500 gp to 2,500 gp not counting drop, so the 10K per week is more than reachable for a working person like me)

I agree with the rest of your post, but it seems prudent to point out that they are selling things (let's face it, bytes on a server) that belong to Anet both physically and intellectually.

Gold sellers are akin to people walking into a store, picking up an item, and selling it to people, then saying they deserve the right to sell it and be paid for it because they took the time to find that item.

Those that also play a lot would be able to access that too, so it would be the same.

Useless. No matter who sell the gold.

by the way 11year old with their parents card I am 26 and make my own money so there

and your maturity shines like a beacon

I dont think its a good idea, so there!

/sarcasm

But seriously...terribad idea - This comparison lacks scale really, but buying GW gold legally is like spending 20 years going through schools/collages/uni's then not getting the job you wanted cause some rich kid known the CEO

just no, if you want it - earn it

GW itself is built around the idea that you have to skill to play it

Not time
Not Money

Skill

we should have an item mall were u can buy a whole bunch of cool in-game items.

Limu Tolkki · Mar 21, 2008, 01:20 PM // 13:20

Worst idea ever.

Darkobra · Mar 21, 2008, 01:33 PM // 13:33

I stand by it being a bad idea every step of the way. The "grind" you complain about is entirely optional. My ranger in 1k armour would fight equally as well in 15k armour. It's an aesthetic luxury, not a necessity.

Winterclaw · Mar 21, 2008, 01:35 PM // 13:35

Here's a quick lessing in economics: if you increase the availablity of something, you decrease it's value.

And if they wanted to flood the market, they should just add 1K to everyone's xulani vault every day.

Because you're not supporting Anet in any way, and it makes them look better.

Since a poll has been added, I'll add my 2 cents.

Absolutely, positively, undeniably

NO

Spite is an ugly thing. It often clouds judgement.

The same can be said for ignorance. How else could 1000s, and maybe 10,000s of bot accounts stay unbanned for this long?

Want me to open a ticket for support for you? You seem to be able to give in-depth investigations to thousands of accounts faster on their wages, so I vote YOU to do their job!

Until then, I've made you this tin foil hat.

You obviously had never been to Elona's Reach ID1 before loot scaling. *shudder*

Or even Droknar's Forge way back when.

/notsigned. This is a very, very, very bad idea.

MithranArkanere · Mar 21, 2008, 03:55 PM // 15:55

And Anet has clrealy stated the reasons against this or anything like this:

TheRaven · Mar 21, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Absolutely not!!!! If you are such a pitiful player that you can only earn gold by buying it then just go ahead and uninstall the game now.

That's pretty much true in any game. The decent and average players earn their gold ingame. The bad players assume all the rich players had to have bought their gold thru RMT because they can't earn any themselves.

segnisletum · Mar 21, 2008, 04:19 PM // 16:19

Horrible idea. Making gold isn't hard. Just started up a guild with some friends and we were able to get enough gold doing hm vanquishing to stock the hall. Learn to pick up drops.

Besides, where is the satisfaction in knowing you had everything handed to you? Working to get items is most of the fun.
