It’s pretty much their own fault it was stolen in the first place. Only YOU can respond to a FAKE Blizzard mail to log into a FAKE Blizzard website with your real info.

I do think folks overreact a bit when it comes to this topic. And yes, my account has been stolen in the past. I logged in and my only level 80, the toon that I have poured years into, was naked. I felt seriously violated. I also promptly bought an Authenticator. This was right before Xmas last year so I didn’t get to play for about a month because Blizzard was so busy
Anyways I still don’t believe that a person that buys gold is a bad person, I like to think that they don’t do it while snickering to themselves that another account has been hacked.
I recently joined Facebook and have been trying the games there and they’re blatant about selling their currencies. I can understand how people constantly exposed to games like that will think Blizzard is being unreasonable.

because, you know what.. Blizzard would track it right to my mailbox…

You know why?

Because I would place a ticket the moment I found something suspicious in my mail… 1,000 gold… 2,000 gold?

Ummm, I have done nothing to DESERVE that, so it must be a mistake… I am an HONEST Gnome, so I will raise a ticket right now.

Ohhhh… shit… damn… you mean a GOLDBUYER paid RL money for that…

lol

SUFFER IN YOUR JOCKS!

BTW.. I hope “you” brag to your mates about how “you” buy gold to fuck people over… cause you fuck me over.. and you mates….

LOSE/LOSE!

PS: I know you aren’t.. I’m just too tired to correct my grammar…

BTW… I learned the lesson very early on in life…

If it’s in your bag… but you didn’t put it there… don’t eat/consume it… etc.

I did eat the bag of chips (we are going back 30 years now)… and when the biggest, toughest guy realized his bag of chips had gone, what do you think I did?

I ‘fessed up that I ate them. I also went to the trouble of explaining I didn’t steal them.

There were only 2 guys without a blood nose after that.. the big guy and me… I also earned 6 years of protection by being honest.. ONCE, I came clean, he cleaned up.

It’s like I would complain if I was waiting for a train home from work on a Friday night that didn’t come until Monday or Tuesday… no major inconvenience…

VICTIMS ARE SUCH WHINGERS!

Dear winner.. err buyer.. would you like a comfy cushion with your gold purchase?

Where do the Goldspammers/sellers get a limitless supply of characters to fill trade chat?

… Ohh yeah… my mate’s hacked account…

Why spend money on an account you know is going to be closed… when you can just hack one…

Sell hacked accounts goods… money for buyers…
Use hacked account for goldspamming… drum up business.

No skin off the gold sellers/spammer nose

THEY HAVE LOST NOTHING – NOT EVEN TIME

Gold Buyer = WIN!
Gold seller = Win/Win
Hacked Account Owner = Pure Loss!

right now I can think of 40+ Gnomes on Argent Dawn that need a little help with their impoverished guild

And WeFlySpitFires brings up a scary point- You can buy gold in Anyone’s name, so you can get Anyone in trouble. It would be too easy to make an umm ‘donation’ to a certain gnome and if this system was in place you would be humiliated for no reason

And turn off all chat privileges until they hit 5 too

First thing I would do is get the name of everyone I didn’t like and buy gold on their behalf so they got flagged with the tag >=D
