It's not the services that bother me... it's the spam. If I want to buy gold, I can perform a Google search just fine, thanks. No kidding. It’s not the services that bother me… it’s the spam.

The banks and CC companies cooperate with the owner of the card in those cases and SOE ends up having to defend themselves to the cc companies & banks, explaining they are not running an internet scam or selling faulty products. ArenaNet for instance may profit from Goldfarm accounts but companies like Mythic or SOE won't. If the game has a digital download for purchase available, it's easy to purchase those and use the revoke payment scheme when free trial accounts aren't available.

I'm not going to be encouraged to buy gold the more times you tell me...Sheesh.

I don't salvage, craft, or use the AH (to SELL, I do BUY from it -) I loot stuff I kill. That's it. At level 20, I spent 15 gold on my mount, and still had 15 left. Anyone who buys gold in this game must be forgetting to loot =) Yeah, it’s a joke. I don’t salvage, craft, or use the AH (to SELL, I do BUY from it -) I loot stuff I kill. That’s it.

It's not like I'm stingy with my money, and I bring in more than I can possibly use just selling drops. I also find it boggling that players are (apparently) buying gold.
