Buying gold is a lot like buying pussy.

Seems like a pretty good idea at the time but not after you are in hospital with your dick falling to pieces after contracting some badass STD eg. a rare strain of syphilis.

Note: I'm not sure how rare STDs is related to buying gold but I think those of you with psuedo-intellectuality as your forte can make sense of it somehow.

buying gold........hmm ..dunno bout to say this kinda thread.

kill mobs=gold
kill mobs=item=stalling=gold
kill mobs='garbage'=disjointing=elements=stalling=gold
kill mobs=tablet=stone=gold
kill mobs=elix=gold
some quest=gold
jobing=trading/thieving=gold
buying cheap sell higher=gold
**monkey=extra real cash to easier ur sro life+boosting/looting free item=gold

starting from lv 1-5x, this all I do to get gold. never get helped from anyone instead i help my friends/guildmates. All my gear or item i lend to them. Yet, i still have gold. I buy weapon/gear that i can afford. At this current rate, weapon +3 just fine to me.

buying gold from goldfarmer/etc maybe make ur sro life easier/fun but not others. Frankly speaking, u*(gold buyer) sux!

A friend of mine hit level 52 and decided to get a really good spear. So what did he do? He went out and spent about $200 for 100mill in gold. He bought a level 52 SoM +5 spear. He bragged about how "good" he was and always seemed to be showing off...

Two weeks later... he got hacked.

Me on the other hand... I haven't bought gold. It's tempting though... especially considering how much it costs to level up a guild lol. But thankfully the new alchemey allows you to build kickass high level weapons to resell for lots of gold. That's how I earn it.

Yeah, Phros was a bit of an idiot. Pity, pity...

This comes from a neutral POV.

1. Not buying gold will not stop goldbots, because others will still buy gold.
2. Buying gold =/= (Does not equal) botting.
3. Because people will buy gold, prices will continue to climb higher.
4. Legit, non-gold buying players will have a harder time getting what they need/want.
5. Even though you get elixir, element, sos/m/sun, equipment drops, still won't be able to really get you what you need. Unless you get an amazing drop that sells for MILLIONS.

Punishing gold buying with death will stop gold buyers in their tracks.

You can get what you need without SoS or buying gold. I'm proof.

I can't understand how anyone can justify buying gold. Excuses like if I don't do it, someone else will or it's the only way for me to buy good gear are just plain stupid and lacks every bit of sense. Buying gold encourage more gold bots, more gold farming firms and a really flarked economy in game. And not to speak of those annoying gold bots that messes up good grinding spots and occupies server space. Yes, I think you can compare buying gold with botting. Neither one is allowed. It is as simple as that.

Ccf'ing is a criminal act, so I won't even take that into the discussion. I really want to believe there are more legit and high morale players in game than the ones who cheat and act irresponsibly and childish. Maybe I have to eat those words up, and if so, then what is wrong with people?!

Stop being so greedy and start enjoying the game for what it is.

Wow...i remembered what my teacher says:

"It starts with YOU. Do not wait for others, be proactive, search within..."
I guess it could be applied here

I buy gold because i'm too lazy to stall or sell my items. I'll NPC anything from a 18 BR 64 shield, , to a 14 crit Glaive. Just don't the patience for dealing with people that don't understand the economy, or just the wait.

And I can afford the gold easily.
It's not like it's cheating or anything, some people just don't have the time to setup a stall (I don't like to leave it overnight, for the sake of I hate AFK stallers that make it hard to enter the game). And i'm sure everyone knows the best way to make gold is to sell items. Trade runs get you garbage, you'd be better off getting an item drop in caves and selling it for more.

The only thing i'll ever sell is high level SOS items.

The only people that would really talk trash to those that buy gold, are the same people that can't afford to buy gold. If gold was expensive, then i'd agree, but it's dirt cheap now.

I'm against it, but i could afford it, but hey, i'm not gonna make some **** richer because i can't stall or anything. Imo - gold buyers = botters it's still a cheat

I can empathize with people who buy gold, but half of the reason I enjoy MMORPGs is the process of trading / reselling / making money.

Whatever,i started a new character as a pure intel just 2 days ago,and by picking up drops,and selling my old armor when i bought new one,and by putting it in storage,i have alreay made more then 110K.

And that's just from the new character,and as listed above,put it in you're storage,and learn how to save,you will be suprised as to how fast it grows.

But then again,is you want to buy gold for ingame use,it really is you're own decision.

Huge generalisation there, "the poor complain about poeople that buy gold because they cant afford it themselves?" --------wrong.
I earn my money, im not poor, what stops me from buying gold is MORALS, the fact its illegal and that it takes away from the point of the game which is economy/trading and earning your way to being a strong character not one that buys my way into it.

Also you are aiding gold botters, if no-one bought gold then the botters wouldnt bot because there would be no point in botting as no-one would buy their gold (supply and demand econimic structure). by selling it you are condoning illegal actions as well tempting more money hungry people into botting.
