DaveTs · 27th July 2010, 13:59

Lol, having hi/her char name the account should be banned..

Nehemia · 27th July 2010, 13:59

Fix thievery now so we can steal that money of them, thanks!

Lerdoc · 27th July 2010, 13:59

Time to start inviting reds to guarded towns without calling guards on them

And most important-time to look for fat gold farmers rawr!\

/e

Ok, reds would be guarded anyway most likely, so how about pushing them out of town and then feeding them to reds?

princereaper · 27th July 2010, 14:07

NOW they are gone!

Duffo · 27th July 2010, 14:08

And there is another one from the same group.

Spoiler for goldseller:

Maerlyn · 27th July 2010, 14:13

Poor little gold seller.
Ganked, humiliated on the forums and banned. Not his day.

Duffo · 27th July 2010, 14:14

Great maerlyn!

princereaper · 27th July 2010, 14:17

Muhahaha, all that money wasted buying the accounts.

Cheith · 27th July 2010, 14:29

Very nice end.
Do we have a specific petition type for reporting gold sellers?
Cheers,

Maerlyn · 27th July 2010, 14:40

Just report them as "Harrasment". And take a screenshot.
They should learn pretty fast that their business model won't work here.

Lachrymose · 27th July 2010, 15:11

Holy shit, 40 Euro for 100g??

Or, we can have RIP cemetery of gold seller (stickied)... so the community can kill and humiliate more of them... sorta of a trophy case (

).

I still remember the chinease chick action on some gold selling site IRC back in beta...

Ahh memories... what was her name?

I wonder if duping helped this to happen?

Brandon Greymoor · 27th July 2010, 15:36

It doesn't take much to farm hundreds of gold if your a chinese farmer.

PopeUrban · 27th July 2010, 15:43

I hope they attempt to compensate by allocating more farmers.

More money for SV to continue development, and more free money killing them in the one or two days before they're exposed and banned.

When't china going to learn gold farming doesn't work in full loot open PvP environments?

javifugitivo · 27th July 2010, 16:03

metavision use a program like Fraps or similars to do screenshots

Drackonis · 27th July 2010, 16:30

Haha, awesome.

I hope I run across one of them! Get my ubergank on.

Just need to figure out a way to get them to show us the gold so we can kill them and take it...

Also, Alt+Print Screen only takes a screen of the active window/program. So, just do that and paste it into paint; easy!

coder1024 · 27th July 2010, 16:31

LOL! I can see editing the original image, but was it necessary to delete my post which basically just indirectly pointed out why that was needed? Really...

codyw9524 · 27th July 2010, 16:53

I'm glad to see SV taking an official stance against this kind of thing. It really ruined UO...

werbe-tonne · 27th July 2010, 17:14

There's even sites offering powerleveling for MO... sad

RedGekko · 27th July 2010, 21:15

Gold sellers are as inevitable as death and taxes...

Especially in a game like MO where amassing gold is just too much "grind" for those that just want to PVP in good gear all day.

The only thing is that some of these operations also involve the use of stolen credit card numbers to buy accounts with. If SV has to pay fees for such things then it could become a problem.

Slightly Campana · 28th July 2010, 00:48

You have to pity the poor goldseller to turns up to work one day and gets told "hey, I'm taking you off WoW and putting you in the Mortal Online team. Here are your daily gold accumation targets. Have fun!"

Or not.

I saw one spamming adverts in Toxai (reported him). Can't think he'd drum up much business there before he got banned.

dscoombs · 28th July 2010, 12:19

So, is selling in game gold for rl cash a bannable offense then?

Sure is, and it uses to be in all games really. You pay to USE the commercial server and NOT making money by selling the bits&bytes that are property of SV. Basically, they're trying to sell SV's property, wanting to make money with what's not theirs.

This is valid for most of the MMOs really - as per their rules -, but many ignore it since it brings a new type of players to the game: The lazy buggers who just play occasionally and don't want to invest time in being cool / equipped. The next step into illegality usually is selling your account.

markus2004 · 28th July 2010, 12:49

HAHa there should be some kind of, report bad player, or lier all players can vote so if30 players vote bad player he would be flagged grey and able to kill

Nice idea but this plan already failed IRL. People will just report the guy with the most shiniest outfit to get his loot. Reminds me of the SS times...

Simple rule of thumb since people don't care for common sense or responsibilities: If it's abusable it will get abused.

To go into a bit more detail...

Twas before beta began (I think) and some company said it was selling gold from MO, which'd be a little difficult as it wasn't released.

And they had some live chat tool on their website, so naturally the MO community bombarded them with questions and casual conversation, etc.
