what do you think of buying gold from the farmer? : General Discussion

what's your opinion? Are you going to buy the gold? I am hesitating now

From a farmer or the site? A farmer has a high chance of screwing you over.

i think its great it gives you a boost in the game like more money to buy things some others can't get.but i've been screwed over a lot of the time so be careful and trust the person you buy it off

I am against unattended gold farming, so I wouldn't buy off someone I believed was an unattended macroer.

Apart from that, I'm not against buying in game gold. If it helps you enjoy the game, and you have the RL $$, then why not!

I thought he meant he found a direct gold farmer to buy gold off of instead of via a site.

Well of course, but how can anyone respond to that without knowing what personal checks the buyer has done to ensure he won't get ripped off. It depends on the person.

Is the seller well-known or are they someone you haven't heard of before? How did you find out about them? Through a mutual friend, through an ad? Have they posted a non-free email address, an ICQ number. Do they have other IM's (such as MSN and Yahoo) they could also be contacted on? Did they tell you who their other characters are? A lot of these things will make the difference between a decision to trust the person... or not
