WoW Gold Farmers Arrested

Is it necessary to arrest? What's the big deal with buying gold? I pay and I get enough for my epic mount without having to countless hours on farming gold. it's ok for both of side. Why stop? What need to stop is that the dev should stop to make the game grind, a time killer a life killer.

Anyone who has ever played a MMORPG hates these type of people, Gold/Money farmers are simply a plague on all online games that does need to be dealt with. I know this won't send a message to anyone to stop doing it, however if they can knock out enough of these operations the economies of these games might actually begin to return to normal!

You ruin the game. Just uninstall and never think of WoW ever again. I hope your account gets banned. It's not hard to earn gold, via dailies, playing the AH, or other ways, you don't need to devout your life to the game to get far. And you dont need to buy gold.

Whats worse than Gold Farmers are the idiots keeping them in business.

Heres a few reasons why gold farming is a big deal...

1. In low lvl areas where a high value item drops you will often have these GF`s running about using bot programs. Which steal Npc`s halting the real players progression.

2. If gold is readily available then why not make even simple items cost silly amounts of gold? I.e people putting things on AH`s at 200-300% markup because they know some idiot who buys gold and has a huge disposable income will pay it. Normaly for a crafted Epic or item that is laffable compared to other in game gear.

3. GF`s have been known to hold accounts to ransom, loggin on to a stolen account and demanding gold from guild mates / friends in order for the real player to get there character back.

4. GF`s also log accounts and melt down epic/items into gold and of course mail any gold on the character away to there banks.

Also read the TOS. It says quiet clearly that the selling of or buying of in game items is strictly prohibited under REAL world terms.

God I hate Gf`s and worse still lo-post-count-gold-buying-nabcakes!

Seriously. My friend just hit 70 a week ago, spent all his 800 gold on an awesome AH deal rather than a flying mount, and had his flying mount 2 days later. Dailies get you money extremely fast.

I actually applaud the gold-farmers, I mean these guys make real world money running around getting digital gold in a digital game. We live in a world where you create your own markets, products and services through innovation, filling a niche, or greater efficiencies. These guys have found a way to fill one of those needs and if ppl want to pay so be it.

I have never used the service and I personally dont think I have been impacted by any of them on the Darth'remar server at least. The auction house is to some degree much like real-life alot of it is supply and demand based, there are times when I have been dumbfounded by the cost of things and other times when I have been surprised at how cheap they have been. Much the same as in real-life. And no I have never used the service, however, reserve the self-instigated right to at my own discretion.

I think these Gold farmers are only annoying to the people that've taken an obsession into this game. I played it until about Level 45 and I never even saw/heard of a Gold farmer. I took the whole game with a pinch of salt. So should everyone else.

It's just fun. Nobody cares how much money you have or what weapons you've got. Just ignore it all and play. You don't NEED the ultimate of everthing.

Except it's against the rules. That's like saying you applaud drug dealers, because they created a market, grow there own product, and distribute sell the product to fill a need.

I thought your WoW girlfriend got arrested... haha :rofl:

Man that is exactly what I thought when I read it.. I was expecting to come see some post or video of some wow player getting his butt handed to him by his girlfriend..

lmao.. now that I think of it, it reminds me of all the people who say wow players don't have girlfriends so of course GF couldnt stand for Girlfriend.. LOL!!

Sorry I just had to cut down the bull**** points:

1. Negative, most quest areas are a haven for players. It increases downtime while they level their bots. They are alts. Bots follow basic routines they don't do quests (well, yet).

2. People are greedy. They think time invested to make the item (all three seconds of hitting 'craft') equals a massive mark up. Buy the components separately.

3. Negative, most can barely grasp English, let alone type it. You find that'll be your common script kiddie.

4. This has yet to be proven. Now being an officer in a guild I find most 'hacking' comes from shared accounts when one idiot ****es another idiot off and they shard all their items and blame it on a Gold Farmer.

Not that I approve of gold farmers. I just feel the real world situation is far less dramatic than people make out. But saying that most of you know to take things you read online with a massive pinch of salt.

I thought that at first, then I realised what I was thinking. WoW and 'girlfriend' don't exactly go together.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
