Where is the Best Place to Buy Wow Gold?

o where is the best place to buy wow gold - well it's an extremely difficult question for a variety of reasons. You may think that word of mouth can give you a reliable gold seller however this is a notoriously unreliable method and probably has no real basis on the reliability of the gold seller. The difficulty is that Blizzard are very clear on the subject of buying gold - there is an official statement on the World of Warcraft site called antigold which quite clearly states their problem with it.

"Players who buy gold are supporting spamming, botting and keylogging - activities that diminish the gameplay experience for everyone else."

Gameplay and the economy of a complex online game like World of Warcraft is an extremely delicate balance. We've all probably played online games where a sudden change or problem has caused thousands of players to disappear and unsubscribe. Blizzard are well aware of this risk and a black economy of gold outside the game affects their control of the environment.

They also state that they regularly track the source of the gold that is supplied by the sellers - this is because a surprisingly large amount comes from hacked accounts, either via keyloggers, trojans or some other method. There are also weekly incidents with events like this often much worse as some 'customers' find their personal details being used in other fraudulent transactions. I used to think that Blizzard wouldn't want the financial loss of banning a user who had bought or sold gold but when you really think about it - the subscriber base of WoW is the same as a small country. To protect their commercial investment and maintain the integrity of the game banning thousands of users would probably make commercial sense.

Having said all this - there is a problem with World of Warcrafts gameplay when it comes to gold - I found myself spending more and more time just grinding away for gold. To be honest it was becoming less and less fun - until I decided to buy a few of the Gold making guides you see sold all over the place. Well I bought quite a few and can say there are a lot of hopeless ones out there.
