    So there was gold spam advertisements in general chat on the RP server (I imagine all servers do).

    The good news?

    Left-click name > select "report" > select "real money trader" from a pulldown > click accept.

    We shall see what EME does from there but it's pretty easy and clear how to report them so please do :)

    Just not worth my time anymore.

    Deron i got a question for you.  is the crisp anti-hacking software running on OB?  I'm wondering because if it is it does not seem to be client side,  do you think it could be server side?  I'm really not familure with "Crisp".

    But never before have i sees goldsellers active in beta. They where even offereing powerleveling to 60 for $650. And that on the only available roleplay server.

     

    Next to that i saw an archer bot camping a boss spawnpoint.  (actually quite easy since the boss allways spawns on exactly the same spot, and the higher level archer was shooting her arrows (auto attack) straight through that spot, and auto looting.

     

     

    I highly doubt a gold farmer or a player using a bot would use an archer for a bot...Lol.

    Ktera has bots but they are all Priest.  When the game first launched over there they did try to use other classes for bots but it was a total fail and the only class that could bot effectively were priest.

    Has he shown proof? If it's true then a screenshot or video should be easy enough to provide.

    No and he won't. This was a seed thread, nothing more. Too bad it's been used so far to debunk the theory lol

    Just not worth my time anymore.

    even a screenshot of the chat would suffice,  but no he brought nothing to the table.  I question his OP.

    OP's not lieing about the gold sellers. They've been in since the last beta. Their prices are out-fucking-rageous though. Who would pay half a rack for some power-leveling. I mean how many months of subscriptiion and other toys can you get with that?

    LoL.. I don't see the power-leveling really being profitable in this game at THAT price.. WTF are these dudes thinking.

    There's no need for screen shots for the gold selling it if very much happening. I've been too busy running around and combating to pay attention to any botters. Especially getting off of newbie isle.. I just turn in and move on...

    PM before you report at least or you could just block.

    Dude its fact I promise you. No I don't have any screenies because I block all goldsellers and powerlevels..

    I've been in all 3 weekend betas.. I've seen the goldsellers in all three phases and the $650 sellers/powerlevelers are very real. I'm not saying they are running rampant but you will see one in your time. I promise just pay enough attention to General chat.

    No need to troll a game I'm rather enjoying for what it is.. I've never seen someone charge so much though, Maybe the goldsellers added an extra '0' in their bot program but yea.. Crazy

    $650 my ass.. image suck a dick..

    Open beta = free accounts for all = easy pickings for gold sellers. Its to be expected really.

  • wrightstufwrightstuf Member UncommonPosts: 659

    2 things.....

    1) prices for PLing and gold are always sky high in any MMO in the beginning. its all about supply and demand. the sellers need to set prices high to protect themselves until they know what the market will bear.

    2) people who buy PLing and even gold to a certain extent, mostly arent concerned with how much it costs. for every poor slob playing an MMO, there is a rich kid thats considers money no object.

    I agree and would love to have a sit down with said kiddies.. They can surely pay me to enjoy their game for them I'll even get them a nice little reputation on the PVP servers.. All inclusive..

    $650 dollars lol..

    I've been in all 5 beta's and i have not seen it,  I'm not saying ur BSing but if ur going to make a statement like that then you should bring something to the table because we all know how it plays out here on mmorpg.com.....trolls aplenty.

    I'm sure the OP was just trolling us I'm sure.

    It's not hard at all to make decent coin while leveling up in Tera, assuming that you are mining the nodes (which gives exp and combat buffs) and extracting useless drops into materials, a skill which everybody gets at level 1.

    Powerleveling services absolutely make no sense for people that brought the box, and wanted that free month to test the game out.  Paying to power level would eliminate that free month, and it only takes a month to level up in Tera anyway.  It's probably even easier now to level because it's possible to get to level 20 in just one day's playtime.

    Also, what would a person do when he levels up to 60 before everybody else? Absolutely jack squat because all the endgame content requires grouping. And of course not to be captain obvious here but if that person spent his money not playing the game he didn't learn how to play his class, and That is a serious issue in Tera which is utilizes skill-based combat.

    It's one thing to have gold sellers, and it's another thing to have incentives to buy gold.  Unlike most MMOs, Tera is 100% not P2Win.

    So too all that I might have offended...sry.  lets see how EmE handles it.

    I understand where you are coming from, but honestly I do not feel that I'm stressed enough about it to take some screens. I just block them and go about my way. I mean Goldsellers are in every MMO at some point. SWTOR was different, there was absolutely no need for it. With the crafting system the way it is and just coming across credits is simple enough.

    My jaw dropped when I saw $650 dollars and they spammed the shit a few times so I'm pretty sure that's their going rate right now. Everyone in chat pretty much "lawd" at the idea of Goldelling and PL in general but that pricing just put the icing on the cake.

    I suggest anyone that recieves a message from those jokers to just block and report them. Not only are they being low-lifes of gold hoarding but then turning around and charging people like that is nuts...

    If you yourself have seen botting then how is a goldseller being in game that much of a stretch? They go hand in hand..

    PM before you report at least or you could just block.

    OP troll bait 

  • AkulasAkulas Member RarePosts: 3,029

    Limit trade and have a fixed price on everything. That is the only way to get rid of gold farmers unless you give another person your account name and password which no one should do. Or yearly wipes which would kill the game.

    This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
