So there is a high chance I think that these prices bombarded because of goldsellers..

The prices got high because ZOS went and nerfed the droprates of motifs and recipes to the point no real player can now find them. They did that because of bots. The end result is only the goldsellers and exploiters now have those items for sale.

What they should've done instead was make them bind to account on pickup, then returned the droprate back to pre-nerf state, so players of the game can actually play the game without being held to ransom by exploiters and goldsellers.

The nerf was not so bad , in the last 2 days without looking I got 4 Race Motifs , the standard ones anyways .

Some People heard Nerf and dragged up the prices on their own , I have not seen a shortage of people selling them and do not care either or .
I will just wait and eventually get them on my own .
I have the Imperial Pack and the Imperial Heavy Armor is all I wanted to be honest .

As a previous post stated bots and gold sellers/buyers have been and always will be a part of MMO's.

I am sure they will always be a part of MMOs produced by people who think bots and gold sellers will always be a part of MMOs, and that are populated with players who put up with them.

Every day since launch, without fail, I have been contacted by goldah.com. Every day, since launch, I have reported the spam with a screenshot. Never once have any of these reports even been acknowledged, nor do I see any sign that they have been acted upon.

I bet goldah.com would respond right away if I contacted them.

Are ZOS, seriously, unable to tell when these almost identical and very-much-unlike player-to-player mails - masquerading as system messages, no less! - pass through their game mail system? Seriously? Did they fire all the DBA after launch? Double-You-Tee-Eff?

I blacked out the name because I have no idea if this account even sent the spam. And I have no reason to believe ZOS knows, so I don't want to implicate an innocent. For all I know, my account has been used to send RMT spam.


I turned off my sub auto-renew. If this isn't fixed in 80 days, it stays off. Seriously.

I think you guys are either just starting playing your first mmo or have had your heads in the sand for the past 15 years or more.
Look back at ALL the mmo's and every one has had gold sellers/buyers, all have had the same comments on the forums and all have failed to eradicate it.

I have never been spammed to my Inbox by an ISK (space gold) seller in EVE Online. EVE used to have a RMT and bot problem, but even back in 2003-2004 I never got spam in game about it. They made it insignificant in 2007 or so by allowing game time codes to be imported into the game itself as a tradeable item. Players can actually "hire" other players to farm in-game stuff for them and pay them in ISK which the farmer can use to buy a time code to pay for his subscription (although it's all done anonymously through EVE's gigantic marketplace). They also spent considerable effort installing code server-side to monitor trading activity to spot illicit trades.

I have never been spammed to my inbox or in the game by a money-seller in The Secret World. That game has had a way to convert real money to in-game items since launch. I never got RMT spam in Rift, either.

In ESO, I get spammed every single day I log in.

If the game publisher takes no action to set the exchange rate of in-game money/items to real cash, the gold farmers and sellers will do so for them.

So, am I in danger of getting banned now coz my gold went up 30x higher in the last 3 days, from 15k to 450k. I got my golds in a very legit way and not from a gold sellers. I hope that before they ban a player they should look at his transaction records, his gameplay. Need a careful review before they ban a player. Anyway how do gold sellers acquire their golds, if through bots then maybe thats the real cause of the problem with gold sellers.
