Nightfalll Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Working on my second 50, ive been playing since Dec 13th. So its been awhile. In all that time, ive had one, ONE, gold seller email ingame. Thats it. Also, no gold sellers yelling in game or in general chat shouting their fool head off. This is the first MMO that ive seen that happen to. Yes yes, I know, creds are easy to make, but in other mmos, they are as well. Bio, you have done an amazing job keeping them out of the game...Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run_hello Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There's nothing to spend money on so who would they sell to? Not a real profitable game from a gold farmers perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harabek Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yes, because you get auto perma-banned by bots parsing the chats and probably also the mails. Go type some random fake url in chat that looks like one of a trader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicycookie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There is literally nothing to purchase at 50. Even GTN stuff are lackluster. Bioware totally killed the credit farmers lol... it's simply unprofitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurakk Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have received about 3-5 power leveling (LOL) and gold selling e-mails. For some reason they always attach 1 credit to the e-mail?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPigCS Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There's nothing to spend money on so who would they sell to? Not a real profitable game from a gold farmers perspective. It costs me 100k if we wipe (albeit unecessarily) for a night while raiding. Granted, while money is stupid easy to make in this game not everyone likes doing dailies. Gold was stupid easy to make in TBC/Wrath/Cata too, yet gold sellers are still thriving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaVolpex Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 lol can you imagine , some asian boss cursing the day he decided to buy fifty Swtor codes on launch day ? thank god, they crawled out of every hole, in every server, with every iteration and offer possible within weeks of rift release, trion did a decent job of niping it in the bud though..

loudent Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Working on my second 50, ive been playing since Dec 13th. So its been awhile. In all that time, ive had one, ONE, gold seller email ingame. Thats it. Also, no gold sellers yelling in game or in general chat shouting their fool head off. I've had dozens although not many lately. I'm guessing they've moved to the imperial side which has twice as many players at any given time. Also, the complete lack of things to buy or pay money for and the showering of credits makes it less profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smilingdeath Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ive gotten one mail myself, on all my alts, and reported em all. Its nice not to be plagued by credit sellers for a change. How long will this last? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromiie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It costs me 100k if we wipe (albeit unecessarily) for a night while raiding. Granted, while money is stupid easy to make in this game not everyone likes doing dailies. Gold was stupid easy to make in TBC/Wrath/Cata too, yet gold sellers are still thriving. Like you said in TOR it's way too easy to make credits. WoW also has ALOT of stuff you can bu with gold. Mounts, noncombat pets (soon they will be!) toys like the trainset, a bunch of extra goodies. TOR doesn't have any of that sure there are 1.5 million mounts but really if you have one you have them all because they are just different colors.

Nightfalll Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ive had zero in game whispers.......Is it really because theres nothing to buy at endgame? Well, theres another reason why endgame content is substandard.../shrug Uh oh, I think all the forum negativity is starting to affect me....................

Jahor Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) There's nothing to spend money .. Just if you: - don't like to own different bikes (even more the rare one for 1.5 mil each) - don't do FPs or raids which leads to some nifty repair cost - don't craft - don't buy 1+ items from the kiosk So if you can't spent your money ... you migt not even play this game But yes, nice work to get right of gold spammers . And banning! Every singel "look like" I reported was banned within 24 hours (the low levels at high level planets). Well, theres another reason why endgame content is substandard.../shrug Wrong! Alone the rare bikes I know are 4.5 mil not including all the 99k bikes. And if you like to you can spend ALOT of money for crafted buff potions.

Restepor Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I only got one, but I did get some comments on my blog saying that people should go and buy credits for the game through them. Funny thing is that this was before the game even came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosblade Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 This is about the only thing that SWTOR stomps any other mmo. I too have had I think 3-4 (mail in game) gold sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
