Do You Buy Gold?

This is sort of like that "Do you bot" thread. If you want to keep your name anonymous, go ahead. I just want to see how the general SRO public feels about gold-buying. From what I've seen in my experiences, most people think of it as the 'lesser of three evils'.

Be honest people, its not like anyone can see how you voted.

If I bought gold I'd probably jump off the roof of my house.
And probably live.

I'll admit, sometimes I see people with all that shit they get from ccf and botting, and am tempted to buy gold. IMO though, I might as well call myself a botter then, because it isn't something I got myself then.

very good point... buying gold from a botter is pretty close to being a botter yourself

I just met somebody yesterday in a cancelled transaction who said he did buy gold with real muhlah. apparently there are some big dependable sites that aren't scams.

personally i wouldn't never do that

WTS 3million gold on ALPS!!!!!! seriously only people who can complain in this thread are people near the cap. a lvl 1 buying gold is different from a lvl 70 buying gold.

If you buy gold, you buy gold. What does your level have to do with it :roll:

Nope, I don't buy gold. I prefer to earn gold by myself.

But then again, I never bought silk (because my parents won't let

).

I don't buy it but I don't really see a problem with it. As someone else said before, if you buy silk, whats the difference. Yes you could say you support bots but lets be realistic; even if you don't buy it they are still gonna bot because someone else will.

I don't like spending real money for virtual items. But after I got attracted to this game and joymax make me spent $30 so far in their item mall...I don't give a damn anymore about RMT in this game. And yeah what Cruelty said...if you buy silks, what's the difference?

I have not bought gold for this game, so I voted No. But I will admit to buying gold for another game. The circumstances were much different, and I do regret what I did. It made the game much less challenging because I could just buy everything I needed. This game has proven more of a challenge, and I'll keep it that way (Besides silk

).

No, i haven't, my friend did though, he bought a wolf, put it on a other character, then the main character got banned. Boom.

buying gold is lame. I'd rather be poor than support the gold bots. Finding gear and earning the money to buy and upgrade it makes it fun.

Crumpets · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 7800 **Location:**

well how do u knwo for sure. .. gold botters aitn joymax ?

Please read what i have to say ok?

I knwo its a ludacris idea but go stand @ hotan herbalist in olympus ... well could be any server .. but in olymp is obvious .. there literally lyang1-20 standing there .. sos this sos that .. obviosuly gold farmers..

Next ban list might contain lyang 1-5 .. SO WHAT they make another 1-5 pfff

And you can not tell me they respond to a gm or w/e its so gay, my little sis even pointss out that they have gay names.. c'mon

So IMO both GT and GOLD is supporting joymax

JoyMax should just sell gold in Item Mall. Maybe those gold bots would go away. :roll:

I disagree; I don't like the idea that your chances in the game would depend on how rich you are IRL. I know gold/items aren't everything in this game, but they sure help.

heh i havent but im tempted at this lvl wit my BS drops and mass amt of spending just on pots and no sos drop ever is killing me

Voted no.

I prefer earning gold myself. Where's the joy of playing, when you just buy or bot everything you want?

Deleted · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 21 **Location:**

I vote no, as others said, it just supports the gold botters. I think you will have more sense of achievement by having to budget and buy gear you can afford and bling it up yourself.
