This is a bait thread, gold buying existed before zoomers were even born
no shit but it wasn't this prevalent you disingenuous homosexual
It always was, goldfarming bots everywhere using hack clients to spell out their website URL using lv 1 warlock bodies
prove it was as bad as it is now with wow token
my personal anecdotes are proof. seethe.
This is from 2007
No it wasn't. There was one or two bots and everyone knew them and made fun of it. If you bought or sold gold you were a pariah and made fun of.
Even the dudes that got PVP rank that way were never considered real players. Stop your communistic rewriting of history.
Pure fantasy
>PLEASE buy my gold, everyone has always bought gold, trust me valued customer!
Get out of my game, pernicious middle man
>Stop your communistic rewriting of history.
Stop your communistic rewriting of history.
have a nice day troony
Actual penis gaming moment
I remember walking into Org on Illidan and seeing this shit for the first time.The internet truly was a magical place back then.
Anon, anyone older than you remembers all vidya related pages filled with gold selling ads, try to educate yourself a little before baiting the next time.
Also EQ, WoW and all of its clones were ALWAYS shit, pure glorified slot machines and Skinner boxes, and no one but kids or losers ever played this awful genre and for good reasons.
bro these people buying gold aren't zoomers, they're the millennials that have jobs and no time to play the game. these are the same dweebs that played it in the past; they're trying to recapture their nostalgia but they can't dedicate their life to it like they could 15+ years ago. I doubt there are many zoomers playing MMOs in general
I would bet it legitimately is more prevalent because the cohort willing to pay for it finally has enough cash to throw around for useless purchases like gold in an MMO. if there's no new, younger blood to play the game normally (naivete) you'll just end up with tryhards and poopsockers dominating the scene more than they already had in the past.
Yes it was. How do you not remember teleport hacking chinese gold sellers literally spelling out wowgold.com with corpses on the ground in Ironforge and Orgrimmar in vanilla?
>It's ok for the greedy game devs to sell the players gold directly because some 3rd party Chinese sweatshops did it in the past
Why does this awful argument always keep coming up?
The wow economy has a ton of problems. Item duping has been around forever, the code for that game is completely shit. And you can also scam spectral tigers from GMs which is where most of them come from. The game is pretty trash.
the majority frowned on it back then
now the majority applaud it
bots are part of all blizzard games
16 years old
man nostalgia hit me like a truck I remember watching these shitty machinima videos when I was 15
?t=19
This still pops into my head whenever I think about shadowmoon valley
this is so bad. did people really watch this garbage back then?
yeah they didnt have epic denk memes back then
Worse, the PLAYED this garbage. Imagine playing World of fricking Warcraft in 2023
>meanwhile gen alpha and zoomers spamming skibidi and that one shitty fricking ecstasy song
why did white people rap about world of warcraft in 2007?
like i was there for it too but where did it all begin.
Before copyright scorched earth, funny covers were an organic thing in Internet culture
but wow rap machinima music videos are a very popular subgenre. like why does nyhm exist
He just, like, made songs. And those kids, they like the hippin' and the hoppin', you see.
>americans
>white
I miss when you could be racist because everyone acknowledged reality
translate the image for me weebs
boar, its the default name for the pet in chines. You are "supposed" to change it but the bots literally don't care to do it because they never get banned anyway.
Before Wow, I played EverQuest and had this cool lute that would proc a buff that would turn you into a werewolf, Lute of the Howler.
I sold it to some dude I knew in high school for $100.
before wow people would still buy/sell accounts for other games. it's nothing new..
I'm reminded of the story of that woman that sold her pussy for an epic flying mount in TBC. Some sperg on her server jumped at the chance to pay 5000 gold for a prostitute.
It was a craigslist ad, I'm sure some imageboard geriatric has the pic in his files. Lord knows he has an endless back catalogue of greentexts
She was an e-prostitute for the ages.
>haha I got laid !
Is she pretending its hard to to get laid as a female? Because last I check women are the ones who hold the keys to sex.
Look at her, an account for the personality a woman playing WoW in 2007 had. She was not slinging dick back then
Blizzard sells gold
Stop the bullshit
Chinese gold farmers and RMT have been a thing in WoW since the very beginning, and Blizzard never banned them effectively back then either. The only difference now is that the bots can be far more sophisticated and people have figured out more optimal grinding strategies over the years.
it's dad gamers
they don't make time to actually play the game so they buy gold and use GDKPs to get gear
the game is just a virtual trophy case to them
Back in the day people were selling accounts for much more than what a little gold goes for. I had friends who would bot for leveling or gold too, it wasn't that magical back then.
Yes because it was extremely rare. I knew some homosexual personally, and he always got banned.
That was when Blizzard actually banned all the time, and not in fake "waves." They also didn't sell gold themselves.
Lol, the cheapest wow accounts on player auctions all have the number 666 in the username. Buddy Satan is leveling those mages himself. Fricking hilarious simulation we're in. He actually charges us fiat just to do basic shit.
Lol you could just pay some anorexic chink to level you to 70 in TBC for like $150. It was never expensive.
If you had a decent set of raid gear at any time in the first 3 expansions you could sell for $1000+ dollars.
Lol that's like 3 days of working at a real job. You guys are easily impressed because your shit tier countries starve and exploit you. Move to America.
That's real money to anyone making less than $100K a year, let alone a 16 year old kid playing WoW. So inflation came and rent in your shitty city costs 4K a month these days frick off.
Lol no it isn't, it takes thousands of hours to get a max level character with full raid sets. The value of a wow account is much less than the time invested. I've crunched the numbers many times back when I had my wow business. The only profitable activity is gold selling, and you have to have tons of c# scripts to assist you. You can do $40/hr if you're good.
this guy sells accounts with raid gear on private servers guranteed, there's still a huge racket going with things like entire guilds funneling one autist whos selling hunters or mages and then using that money to buy more gold etc
I remember playing Bags late at night and they were around 80% bots, not even exxageratting.
>exxageratting
What the frick is this moron. Frick off back to your containment board. What the frick is a bag? IM SO FRICKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT.
REEEEEEEEEEE EAT MY FRICKING SHIT troony JANNIE. DO YOU DAMN JOB AND CLEAN THIS MESS UP. YOU WILL BE COMPENSATED FAIRLY FOR THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE.
I'm israeli and I've sold like $5k in gold. The fricking chinks sell it for half price because their country is so shit tier that working for $3 an hour is worth doing apparently. I could barely justify $15 an hour, even McDonald's employees in my country make more than that.
I bought soooooo many prostitutes with my wow money. Got my dick sucked raw and came in their mouths. You fricking goyim are so lucky, Jesus doesn't charge you for sex. I'm on a slave planet! What the frick is this?
yup all those side hustles get cucked by 3rd worlders. $3 an hour for them is probably more than what they'd get working some shit manual labor job
Lol they have power leveling businesses where they work in shifts at SM and Maura. They actually treat it like a business and always call you sir. It's really funny because they're making almost nothing.
Think about it like you're a chink. You can either get paid $3 an hour to sew nike shoes or get run over by a forklift in a factory, or you can chain smoke cigs in some shitty internet cafe
p easy decision to make imo
They really put a lot more effort into alliance zones
>implying zoomzoom would give a shit about some delaying 20 year old MMO when Lego Fortnite exists
Wow classic is shit tier these days. I'm pretty sure most of the people who still play that game are NPCs.

>Not having friends to make the grind fun.
>Not having a guild to offset material and time costs.
>"Bu-but if I can buy the Sword of a Thousand Truths, then everyone will respect me!"
lol
lmao, even
Damn, I'm now convinced that Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard seeling gold is justified.
Yea shadowmourne was selling for $3333 USD. Wotlk is fricked.
How does that work? Do they just take you with them weekly until you're done all the steps?
I just looked this up, and saw this.
It seems weird to me that full BiS, which is actually 100% RNG reliant and could take 6 months to get, is somehow "only" $1000 while the far more reliably farmed Shadowmourne is 3.5x that
>$4500
>60 day delivery
no way anyone has bought this shit, right?
I'm sure some cryptobro or something has at some point. Delivery time doesn't surprise me, since FULL BiS is at the mercy of a lot of RNG
Some athlete paid $1000 for someone to level his fricking Elden Ring character for him. Someone absolutely paid $4500 for a BiS account.
>ruining it
Every game should have pay to win actually
>zoomers
>buying WoW gold
that was millennials
and yes they were shit for enabling the rangrang RMT market, as well as for giving a free pass to Blizzard to monetize the game for RMT. always heard rumors Blizzard was involved in some RMT biz operations, sort of like how GGG is invested in RMT in PoE hence why they refuse to clean up their godawful auction system & itemization.
Bro is it not just Wild Growth? I see boars with Chinese names fricking EVERYWHERE on this server.
I did Stockades with a group that only spoke Chinese on Lone Wolf. Didn't realize it until the run was already going. But yeah, I've also been noticing the Chinese pet names and items linked in trade chat appearing in Chinese.
I'm ok with it. I bought 5 gold in SoD for like $3 just to level up engineering and the chinks bot is broken and keeps sending me more and more every day, I have enough for a mount once P2 drops.
