29g?? and who is crazy enough to buy it...

yeah my point exactly.. no one is (i hope) but they still list worthless crap for $$G. I love the lvl 20 blue items trying to sell for 50g.

I could totally use a fishing bot.

Quoted for F-ing truth. That has to be the most BORING minigame there freaking is.

They put things on the auction house at outrageous prices to shuffle the money between accounts sometimes is what I have heard. They bounce the stuff around a lot to prevent one account from having too many money transactions. Oh yeah, and fishing pays off if you are a hunter, alchemist, or want some of the better items it offers at higher levels. You used to be able to get a decent amount of green items off of it before they nerfed it.

I wonder if these problems are as widespread in the Rp servers? You'd think that they would be flagged more often

Well, I'm not sure that blizzard is going to spend a ton of resources on defeating this. Personally, I'd rather have them work on bug fixes, patches, and new content than hunt down every last farmer.

In China there are quite a few employed to farm in MMORPG's. Many of them run bots but also man the computers in case a GM messages them. They are there to respond intelligently because we all know the bot sure isn't going to.

In most cases, the people know barely any english ...

the way to go is to have a support bot. A guy on the stormwind server had two accounts and one was a bot that followed him around merely as support. The bot acccount had a mage and cleric that he would "assign" to help him out. Then he played on his primary comp and only went to the secondary whenever needed. Either way, I thought it was pretty smart. Assuming you don;t mind having two accounts.

So he has 2 subscriptions?

I still wont play this game. Its hilarious how addicted my friend is. He sets his alarm on Saturday for 7:00 am to get up and play. Thats when you uninstall

The best is when I'm logged on as my mage and you get the pm, "Please, Water?" or something similiar. I always tell them 10g and see if they bite.

yup...

although I could see how this works out well if you leave in a dorm and your roommate plays but is on a break or something..

One of my close friends exchanged passwords with me. If I ever want help, I will log one of his toons on my laptop and then play on my computer. He's always borrowing my mage for food and water.

**Timman_24** · 12-09-2005, 05:53 PM

Yup, mages are the game's vending machine. My friend always gets assualted in IF for food, drink, whatever. I wouldnt be surprised if half the people in the game buy gold online. Everyone I see has the craziest items. Also prices are real high on even trivial things, suggesting the game has too much gold flowing around. Hard to keep up legitimately
