Democratization of Gold Purchases
Nobody will disagree with that fact: 25%-35% of the players bought gold in 2009. It might sound stunning but over 30% of players spent at least in virtual goods/services last year.
Why do so many people hate goldsellers?
Is it fair to buy WOW Gold?
Many World of Warcraft players today likes to buy WoW gold, items, accounts and power leveling sessions, but blizzard along with other players consider this an act of cheating. Well, you have the ability to enhance your character to a much higher level or better quality items, weapons, armors and other equipment with real money. It's unfair for those players who does not have the extra cash to spare or would prefer to play it the old fashion way. So that is one conclusion as to why players and Blizzard does not approve of selling or buying gold.
Does it really disrupt the game economy?
Disruption from Warcraft gold farmers. Yes I'm sure we've all experienced that farming now a days have been a little difficult due to the overwhelming population of WoW gold farmers. If gold wasn't able to be sold using real money the farmers wouldn't exist and players would probably be able to enjoy the game more.
The real question is does gold farming really disrupt the game economy?
If there is excess gold, then the value of gold drops and the value of the item will rise causing players to spend more gold on the item than what they would normally need to pay. Basic economics 101, inflation and deflation. A player can only farm an X amount of gold over a given period of time. The more gold there is, the more the item will cost, the more a player will have to farm unless they purchase the gold of course.
Well with all these problems involving selling gold, why hasn't Blizzard done something? I believe they probably are working on a solution but believe it not, farmers do make up about 30% of their population. Somewhere in the back of their mind I'm sure they don't want to get rid of all subscribers.
Another reason is that it does not disrupt the economy. It is regulating the economy. That's the very basis of capitalism. Blizzard acts on droprates (rarity) and desirability (stats, rewards) They are the one dsrupting the economy. If they fail to set up something really logical (a sound effort/reward ratio) gold farmers take advantage of it and it will regulate the market.
I feel (it would recquire a lot more analysis and an in depth study of WOW economy to be sure) that they are using goldsellers/farmers. They are scapegoats for everything that goes wrong:
- Blizzard can't set up a good and sound economy?
- Droprates or stats are fucked up?
- Players are tired of farming?
- Players can't buy that stupid awesome mount?
What goes wrong is that they can't be responsible for every mistake game designers make...
People don't buy gold because gold farmers are disturbing the economy and therefore forcing them to buy. They are buying gold because they don't feel like spending thousands of hours to get something.
The real issues:
- Blizzard misunderstanding gamers interests and needs
- Blizzard focusing on making the game last longer using more itemization than content
- Blizzard using goldsellers as scapegoats instead of focusing on the real issues and trying to fix the game
It can sound a bit disappointing given the fact that this is just a silly game. Taking this too seriously is kinda pointless. Basically it all comes down to time and how much of it you want to spend in the game. They should just remove gold as a factor in the game and have you spend "gametime" instead. ie) it costs 90 hours of gameplay to buy a flying mount. This is really what the formula is anyway.
Life is NOT fair. People suffer, die. Deserving people don't get what they sould in that life. Some people choose to buy gold, some choose to abandon their friends, family and farm for gold thousands of hours yearly, some have fun with the gear they can get within the time they allow themselves to spend on WOW... We are the only ones responsible for our lives and our choices. What matters the most is how we can live with those choices. I doubt that gold buyers are having trouble to face the consequences of theirs decisions.
To be honest that question is just pointless. What matters is that hundreds of thousands of people buy gold, powerleveling and accounts. They can't be ignored. They can't all be fools.
Most people buy WOW Gold

I see everywhere places advertising World of Warcraft gold for sale and even some of my friends have recently started buying WoW gold. They say it is a whole lot safer than getting your character powerleveled and I shouldn't be worried about getting banned for it. My question is can I really get banned for buying WoW gold and if I can what is the odds of them banning my account?
It really is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to buying gold in World of Warcraft. As always you really need to take caution if you decide to and yes it can get your account banned. We don't know if most people buy gold but there are a lot of people buying. Why? Why shoud we care. They feel like they need it. Why are you playing WOW? Because it's fun? Well, i guess that WOW without gold isn't fun to most people...
Purchasing gold is against the World of Warcraft Terms of Use (TOS). So there is a chance to get banned. What really matters is what can you do to avoid it. Is there a chance to get banned for no reason? Yes, it is really sad but without control over the bans Blizzard can do whatever they want. They are human to. They make mistakes. If their mistakes have no consequences, they will tend to do a lot of mistakes before getting caught.
Did I get banned or suspended for buying gold?
The Blizzard WoW ToS state they can suspend or terminate your account "for any reason or no reason." So, even though neither the ToS or EULA specifically mention buying gold, that doesn't mean they cannot suspend you for it. At the present time, they can do anything they want. EULAs are recognized everywhere on the web. Most website present them as THE LAW. That's wrong. EULAs are no laws. Buying gold isn't ILLEGAL BUT FORBIDDEN by Blizzard.
That means that Blizzard is outrageously taking advantage of that situation (I'm not sure that it's illegal to state that something that isn't illegal is illegal, in the US but in France it is) Most of the people who get banned or suspended saying they didn't exploit or buy gold aren't taken seriously but the gamers' community. Nobody is checking what Blizzard is doing when it comes to bans. They are free to do anything they want. That's BS and gamers shouldn't support it.
Example:
Reason for Action: Terms of Use Violation - Economy Exploitation
After a thorough investigation, we have found that a player of the account listed above participated in activities designed to gain an unfair advantage in the World of Warcraft economy. These activities violate the World of Warcraft Terms of Use. We ask that you take a moment to review these terms at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html.
WTF! They are saying nothing in that stupid email. That's a joke and most of the players accept it and take for granted that Blizzard is dedicated to ban cheaters. Are you sure about it? Well, we highly doubt it.
A player of the account? WTF they are forbidding to share accounts...
Unfair advantage? Gearing up to PVP spending 80 hours a week is fair? Fair to who? BS again. Anyway, it's meaningless.
Economy Exploitation? WTF ! That's a basis of capitalism... So buying low and sell high is forbidden? Farming when resources are scared too?
Does it prove that you can be banned without a reason? Yes. Do we know more people who got banned for no reasons than gold buyers? Yes. Do people get banned when they buy gold from scamming website? YES. Some scammers are delivering the gold... Part of the job is to avoid to endanger your account FFS...
Why is Blizzard banning people?
From a player:
Not sure if maybe I read that excerpt wrong but I only see mention of selling not buying .. I don't honestly see why they care.
1) If they ban your account they lose per month, might not seem like a large loss but over time and enough accounts lost and it adds up. Sure some people will buy the game again and pay for another account but as the expansions come out thats a lot to pony up to replace it. Most would move on. Blizzard knows this.
2) All you do with gold is throw it into the gold sink that is wow. It doesn't translate into any in real life and blizzard owns all your virtual property anyways.
3) To solve the problem would be to allow people to buy gold from them. It would cost them nothing and create more revenue.
I think that most people don't understand something quite simple:
banning an account => + / cost ~ [POSTCONTENT]
banning 1,000,000 accounts a year => M / cost : almost nothing (GMs and a few coders) (example we dunno how many accounts they ban for real)
Banning people is really profitable FFS ! It's like taxation. Gold sellers are randomly paying a percentage of their income to Blizzard that way. They are generating a lot of revenue thanks to the bans. They can even use it to get a fake margin on the subs. (getting GMs, CSRs and lot of services on the charges related to "banning cheaters")
The real situation is much more complex than it seems. They are banning for a reason and my guess is that it is to satisfy their shareholders not the players.
They will tell us that RMT is a plague that is costing them a lot. Proof? My guess is that RMT makes them richer.
The Current Situation: What is in the TOS and EULA
(From WOW.com)
Let's begin by first examining the current legal situation. We, as players, are in a contractual relationship with Blizzard. This contract is composed of two documents, the End User License Agreement and the Terms of Use, that define the rights, responsibilities, and privileges of each party. So let's see what the documents have to say.
The End User License Agreement states:
2. . . . You agree that you will not, under any circumstances: . . . C. exploit the Game or any of its parts, including without limitation the Game Client, for any commercial purpose, including without limitation ... (b) for gathering in-game currency, items or resources for sale outside the Game;
And just in case you missed it, the Terms of Use state:
2. . . . You agree that you will not, under any circumstances: . . . B. exploit the Game or any of its parts, including without limitation the Service, for any commercial purpose, including without limitation ... (b) for gathering in-game currency, items or resources for sale outside the Game;
So, Blizzard is quite clear about this -- you are not allowed to sell gold. Why not? Well, let's start with the fact that you don't actually own "your" gold.
4. Ownership.
A. All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in and to the Game and all copies thereof (including without limitation any . . . objects, . . . character inventories, . . .) are owned or licensed by Blizzard.
Missed it? Here it is again:
Ownership.
All rights and title in and to the Service (including without limitation any user accounts, . . . objects, characters, . . character profile information, . . . ) are owned by Blizzard or its licensors.
Chances of getting banned
From Blizzard FAQ (First part was about powerleveling and account share):
Exchange of World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services for non-World of Warcraft Currency/Goods/Services, and Vice-Versa (Buying/Selling Gold, Items, Characters, and/or Accounts)
Anyone offering World of Warcraft content for sale is attempting to steal from and deceive you, as no one is EVER allowed to sell any aspect of the World of Warcraft MMORPG except Blizzard and its licensees. Blizzard will not recognize the transaction resulting from the seller's prohibited behavior! Attempting to circumvent this rule by selling "the time put into the character" DOES NOT make such a sale legitimate, as the transaction still results in the transfer of World of Warcraft virtual property (which is acknowledged by every player as solely belonging to Blizzard Entertainment and/or its licensors) and in the seller receiving money.
CONSEQUENCES:
Any evidence uncovered by Support investigations that the account has been involved in the exploitation of the World of Warcraft Economy by purchasing currency, items, characters and/or accounts may result in:
* Removal of any World of Warcraft content that was purchased from anyone other than Blizzard Entertainment. Note that the sale of existing accounts, currency, items, and characters, or any aspect thereof, is not presently offered by Blizzard or its licensees, nor is the availability of such services foreseen.
* Immediate Account Closure of any account found to have been transferred from the registered user to anyone else. Blizzard Entertainment neither recognizes nor permits the transfer of accounts.
Any evidence uncovered by Support investigations that the account has been involved in the exploitation of the World of Warcraft Economy by selling currency, items, characters, and/or accounts may result in immediate account closure.
Even if they don't ever mention bans are a consequence they can do it. Since it can get you banned, what are the odds that it will?
I believe the odds of it getting you banned to be very low as long as you are smart about it. Selling gold and other virtual items is quickly becoming a multi-billion dollar industry. I believe it would take way too many resources in order to ban all the buyers so that is why they seem to be focused on banning mostly the sellers. (The sellers need to buy new accounts on a regular basis and they are a boon for Blizzard)
I believe you will be ok as long as you don't purchase insane amounts of gold at one time and you don't want to do anything in-game that would bring attention to yourself. I know a lot of people that have bought gold many times and have never had a problem with it.
Ultimately the choice is yours so choose the sellers carefully.

QUESTION:
I want to buy gold online or from a reputable place in London - any advice?
I would want to buy some bars of 100g gold Swiss or Degusa, and then some 1g bars, and perhaps some 1 ounce bars. I was looking at APMEX but i was looking for a while and i couldn't find much. Please can you give me a website or the name of a gold dealer in London who is reputable. Thank you very much.-
ANSWER:
The value of gold could drop 20% to 50% in a blink of an eye if this economy picks up.
I would rather see you open a brokerage account and buy gold stock or a gold ETF.
That way you can have a sell order in case you see gold losing half of its value.

QUESTION:
i want to buy gold for personal ,will gold prices come down?
im leaving in dubai,i want buy gold,will gold prices come down?-
ANSWER:
Gold prices are projected to keep going up. You're best to buy sooner rather than later to capitalize. I believe gold just recently hit 5 an ounce, and I read a future somewhere that gold could reach 00 before 2010.
Gold is always a good investment because deposits are not infinite. 5% assets in gold would be a good start, but anything more than 20% and you should be consulting a financial advisor before making a move.

QUESTION:
Why should we want to buy gold?
If you spend your dollars on gold, and pay a % to the company you buy from. Than you feel the need to sell the gold that has grown some %'s. You have the word of the seller/now buyer that he will give you market price for your gold in the same dollars that you ran from to buy gold.
I see this as running in a circle. You can only buy in dollars, and the dollar reflexs the price of gold and gold the dollar. Why should we buy gold?-
ANSWER:
The idea with gold is that it's value is accepted across political and economic borders and it's also a commodity hence if you are in a smaller economy, it's an effective hedge against inflation. Intrinsically, gold does not grow, and gold does not produce, gold must be stored in registered vaults or risk being re-assayed so there is an intrinsic depreciation in an investment in gold, the gains are extrinsic, speculation due to government policies and consumer confidence. The difference being that gold is essentially ballasted by all the governments and economies of the world and the dollar is by just the one government and economy. However, how rational an investment in gold is, does depend on the economy in which you live, for the people of Brazil in the early 90's, gold would've been a fantastic investment but for the people of the US which is the single largest and most affluent economy in the world, gold does little to mitigate potential problems with the US economy.

QUESTION:
If I want to buy gold as an investment?
which coins or bullion should I buy?-
ANSWER:
US gold Eagles are an excellent choice. Canadian Maple Leafs are good too, but they contain so little alloy that they are soft and dent or scratch easily. These coins are easier to buy, sell, and handle than bullion bars. They are known as "bullion coins" because they have no numismatic or collectible value; they are strictly a gold investment.Gold has its ups and downs but tends to appreciate over time because money itself depreciates through inflation. It is prudent to have at least a small portion of your portfolio in gold.

QUESTION:
how can I buy 24 carat gold bullion at market prices in Australia for investment purposes?
I want to buy gold for investment (gold ingots or bullion) at market price in Australia, Melbourne, does anyone know where I should go? Thanks.-
ANSWER:
You can't...because the MARKET price is NOT what you will buy it for...the dealers have to make a profit so they add on a percentage over market, or service or handling charge.
So you will NEVER buy it for the market price.
And if you go to sell it BACK, they will only pay you a percentage of market price....at least 25% or more LESS than the market price. So they can make a better profit selling it to someone else! They might call it an 'assaying charge' (they will say they have to test it to prove the gold content, etc.)
I have owned a jewelry store for 30+ years, and had friends invest in bullion and raw stock against my advice...because they thought they could make a good profit. Never happened...gold would have to almost DOUBLE in price from what you buy it for to make a profit selling it.
I had the chance to stock up on gold when it was only an ounce...stupid me...I didn't think it would change much. It is almost 00 an ounce now...I could have made a fortune if I had even spent only 00 back then and stuck it in a safe!

Where is the best place to buy actual gold as an investment?
Please, don't contact me if you're trying to sell it to me; I want to speak to people who have acutally bought gold. Also, I don't want gold certificates; they can be devalued at any time by the government if they so choose to. I want to know where and how to buy actual gold to keep in my possession but as an investment.-
ANSWER:
Dealers sell gold bullion bars in various weights from 1 ounce to 100 ounces or larger. You can also buy gold coins such as the American Eagle through dealers, brokerages and some banks. The U.S. Mint has a list of authorized dealers. You'll pay a commission or premium, and most dealers have purchase minimums. Be sure to study the differences between bullion gold coins, which are valued according to the market price for an ounce of gold, versus coins that have a collector's value.Exchange-traded funds
Gold can carry concerns about authenticity and purity, as well as storage and insurance costs. But you can shed those worries and still own a chunk of gold by investing in exchange-traded funds that make buying and selling gold bullion as easy as buying and selling stocks.The share price of streetTRACKS Gold Shares (symbol: GLD) roughly tracks the price of gold and represents an investment in gold bullion. In effect you get to own gold without the hassle of storing and insuring.
With GLD, each share is priced at about one-tenth the price of gold bullion. So if gold goes to 0 an ounce, then the price of a share should be about .

QUESTION:
How to Buy Runescape Gold Now After The Update?
Before the update, I have bought runescape gold multiple times and have received the gold every time i bought it. I want to know if you can still buy gold, and how the gold gets to you now. I've heard people talking in-game about how they can still do it somehow, but they didn't go into specifics because they said they'd get banned if they told us. I just need to know how you get the gold in-game. Thanks.-
ANSWER:
Against the rules, yes, but I've done my share Real World Trading... and since the update, I've been thinking about how to buy more cash online... and I think I may have a solution. The answer? That one thing that apparently EVERYBODY just HATES... Bounty Hunter! It's actually quite simple, really. You find someone who sells gold online who is the lowest level in one of the three ranges that you are in. You both keep going in and out of the area until one of you have the other as a target... you fight, and the one with the money does not attack back! Simple, right? I don't know if that would work or who would help... but there's my idea! I hope it works! Good luck!

QUESTION:
Where to buy gold bullion bars in New York City?
It seems it is impossible to find this information on the internet. I do not want to buy from online stores. Calling such banks as Chase and Bank of America did not help, they did not even know what I am talking about and transferred me around 10 times each before saying "we do not sell gold bars".-
ANSWER:
try MTB, Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, at 90 Broad Street, just down the street from the New York Stock Exchange.they've been in business for 50+ years and they operate out of a basement vault off the lobby of an old Wall Street office building.
i still regularly buy silver and gold in person from them. if you pay cash you can take immediate delivery; if you pay by check there's a waiting period, but you lock in the price on the date of transaction.
my recent purchases have been 100-ounce and 10-ounce silver bars, 1-ounce American Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and Austrian Philharmonics; and 1-ounce coin gold Krugerrands, which, btw, is the *only* gold bullion of any form i would recommend, because they are the most recognized gold bullion in the world, and they come usually at the lowest premiums to the gold price. otherwise, you can buy all kinds of gold, silver, and other precious metals products there...
(btw, the regular banks know absolutely *nothing*...)

QUESTION:
I want to buy Gold? How do i do it?
Im a young college student who would like to put my money in Gold. Whats the best way to do this?-
ANSWER:
"I want to buy Gold? How do I do it?"Open an investment account at Scottrade and buy GLD. Every stock and fund has a symbol. GLD is the symbol of the Gold exchange-traded fund. Buying 10 shares of GLD, which right now would cost you about 0, is the same as buying 1 oz of pure gold.
If you open a Scottrade account, they'll give you an account number and password, so you can log in to your account anywhere and check your balance and buy stocks, funds, gold, silver, oil, etc... with just a few clicks. The advantage of buying GLD is that you can sell it anytime anyhwere. If you have real gold coins which you keep in a safe box, you can't sell them anytime.
Each time you buy or sell a stock or fund, Scottrade will charge you , which is cheap, because other brokerage firms will charge a lot more for a simple transaction... (It doesn't matter how many shares of GLD you buy. It's going to cost each time you buy.)

I just want to know if you can buy gold when it is cheep and then sell it when it is more expensive and make a small profit?-

Yeah, it is always good to buy Gold when the prices are down and sell it when the price go too high. You can do same at your Local Jewelry Shop, you can also find this at Ebay, but the best way to do it is, Buy Gold when the pricing is low, and sell it to direct websites which buy Gold. I did same but not for profit but to get rid of my debts in this time of recession. I had attached the link to my personal blog in the source box. Checkout my experience.

QUESTION:
Why do all millionaires buy stocks and no gold?
Hi! I work as a neurosurgeon and I have 32 years old.I have a good salary and I want to invest in something so I can let my children some worth.Why do all millionaires buy stocks and they don't buy gold?I don't want to let my children dollars because the dollar is losing value and I was wondering if I can let them some stocks which don't lose value ,but I think that gold is even a better solution.What should I do?-
ANSWER:
Gold is called an "inflation hedge"... meaning that it generally keeps pace with the overall cost of living.COMPARED to the DOLLAR.... it does go UP in value...... but that is VERY DECEPTIVE.
Even as it KEEPS UP with the cost of living, it is NOT CURRENCY. Like any other commodity, you buy gold at a lower price and sell it at a higher price. The GAIN you have to pay taxes on!!!
Your investment that was SUPPOSED to keep up with the cost of living is now BELOW the cost of living because of capital gains taxes.
NOTHING has out-performed the US Stock Market over any 10 year time horizon.... so that is where EVERYONE needs to be investing.

QUESTION:
What major jewelry stores buy gold/diamond jewelry like Zales or Kay?
I'm trying to sell my gold and diamond ring to use the money for dental expenses. Are there any major stores that will buy jewelry from people? I don't want to sell to a pawn shop or consignment store because it feels shady.-
ANSWER:
You would be better off and would see a higher price by using a national buyer like the Silver and Gold Exchange. They publish the prices they pay on a live chart on their website ( http://SilverAndGoldExchange.com ) They are also Better Business Bureau Accredited and pay for shipping and insurance.

QUESTION:
What's a fast, legit website to buy guild wars gold and items from?
So yeah, just need to find a site that I can buy guild wars ectos and gold from at average pricing. Please don't give me crap about how buying gold is cheating, I just want a good site to buy it from. Thanks-
ANSWER:
You aren't going to find one. Anet recently banned 3,700 accounts for botting, match manipulation, and gold buying/selling. In addition, you aren't going to *ever* find a "legit" one, because *all* of them break the EULA. If you know buying gold is cheating, why ask for "legit"?BTW- if you took the time to learn, you could get a lot more gold and ecto, in the same amount of time you would take to find a site and buy it.

QUESTION:
what's all this talk about buying gold and silver and how and where do I buy these?
Do I buy these in physical form? I don't really want that. It does not appeal to me. Are these for sale as a stock? I'd rather buy these in non-physical forms. I still don't get the whole thing about buying silver and buying gold? Who uses these anyway? Well gold is for luxury items, isn't it? Silver is for what exactly again?-
ANSWER:
Buy the SLV - silver, and GLD - gold eft's. Silver, as well as gold is an excellent conductor of electricity. So both of these are used in small amounts in your computer, as well as other electonic equipment. Silver is also used in film.The only reason you don't have gold or silver wiring (as opposed to copper), in your home, is because it is too expensive.

QUESTION:
I want to buy some gold shares in India
I have absolutely no clue on how and where gold shares can be bought in India. Are there any hidden interest rates associated with the gold share or does it vary with the price of gold in the market?Also is it better to buy gold in India or in USA. I am interested to buy gold shares wrt 22 or 24 carat. Not sure if it works like this.
-
ANSWER:
I don't know much about the Indian market.I look at kitco.com for prices all the time, I notice that have pool shares:
https://online.kitco.com/bullion/index.html#pools
and Perth mint certificates:
https://online.kitco.com/pmcp/
You may find these links interesting, you certainly do not have to buy anything from them to look.
Generally, if you own pooled or unallocated gold, they do not charge storage fees. If you buy allocated gold, there may be storage fees.
Gold does not earn interest. It may appreciate against a currency if the currency loses value due to inflation. As far as I know gold shares and such are always for 24K gold.Gold Bug
