Has anyone tried to buy gold from something other than the WG?.. And how has it happened? Have you get Bann?It would be very interesting for me to buy from another site but to be interested in your other experiences?I would not go for that for a simple reason:
why would a company sell their product to another company (for a less profit) so that the other company would then sell the product for a lesser price.
Makes no sense.
Plus, if I remember correctly WG said that ONLY them can sell gold.
So, it’s either some casino stile ripoff or a classical “let’s hijack this fellow credit card” fraud.
I did once try buying gold from other sites (as a test) to see if they were “semi-legit”. Semi-legit meaning the money used to buy the gold may not of come from a legal source but you (the buyer) are protected from having the gold be removed from your account.
bought roughly $30 worth of gold for about $18 (ish) from some shady website for 3 different accounts. Within 3 days 2 of the 3 accounts lost the gold completely because the website was using stolen credit cards to buy the gold as Plazma mentioned above (not surprised).
Also not long ago WG themselves posted a memo on their website regarding the issues of buying from unauthorized WoT gold sellers. It details that any charge backs, flagged paypal accounts or reported stolen funds of any kind used to buy the gold will result in an immediate refund, thus, removing the gold from your account. (this is where it gets foggy for me) I can’t remember if WG uses the same policy as PlayStation where a negative balance (in this case, your WoT gold) will result in account ban… again that part is foggy for me.
Small profit but high risk. Remember – it is WG money..
