    Thanks for posting this; I was wondering where to buy gold from now that I am no longer annoyed by it in game.

    Having a lvl 1 toon mail you 500k sounds like about the fastest way to lose you acct to me.
    Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
    Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
    Disable abilities while holding block.
    Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
    Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
    Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
    Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.
    Werewolf is not equal to Vamps/Bats.

    Seen much better deals on actual goldseller sites.

    *edit* no wait, that's actually competitive (though who would pay that much for game gold in this game).

    @stumpy999 I see nothing wrong with buying a vanity pet for real money. Buying things to make you better in the game (gold, mats, gear) is completely different.

    People still waste money gold lol... mind boggling.... I dont even know what to do with all my gold. Theres nothing to really spend it on. Unless you chug potions like water (Dumb) All you need gold for it.... Horse, Repairs Motifs? (unnecessary)

    Quest/Farm for a few hrs a day and I end up making 20k give or take after 1-3 hrs

    Seems legit. Also advertising for them is against forum rules. I think ZOS couldn't get rid of goldsellers (Just like every other MMO can't get rid of them either) So they probably just sent them all to their own instance of the megaserver.

    not advertising anything, just linking a search on ebay

    I think it was a great idea, and the pig is epic.

    That counts as advertising. You really should take it down before a mod does.

    Yeah, buying surplus Vanity pet codes which are packaged for distribution (if not resell) is different than something address in the ToS.

    As long as I don't see 'em ingame, it's no skin off my nose.

    Let ZOS' Legal Eagles deal with the ones outside the game, heh.

    So, they get $32 for 100,000 Gold, something that even with efficient farming can take 5 to 10 hours to do, if not longer. So, these gold farmers are making $3 to $6.00 an hour? Hows that going to make them any money?
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    They're in China...

    Also, it's not one player sitting there doing that, it's a bank of systems running the scripts.

    There's a nice book called "FTW" which has gold farmers in it, I thought it was a good read

    To what end though?

    I'm not accusing you of anything (I really don't care that you posted this - see my prior post in this thread), but I'd say that bringing public attention to something like this on the boards isn't a wise idea: it's not unlike discussing the specifics about a duping exploit (let's say) before it's been fixed - which is something that's never been tolerated on any gaming board site that I've been a member of.

    (Just sayin')

    They could take a team of 12 goldfarmers into Mages Trial and farm Warlock rings, seeing as the devs in their infinite wisdom chose to make these rings rare and so go for ridiculous amounts.

    That would be the most efficient goldfarming method now.

    My goal is to inform the people that directly can make a difference, but edited original post to be safe.

    I am not the one selling the gold nor affiliated in any way, its upsetting to me to see this happening though.

    It's not how it's done, though.
    The player is posting a number of overpriced items which is then bought by the goldseller mule.
    I got a new addon, and as I was playing around with it, curious of what other people were buying and selling, and for how much. I discovered (and reported) a number of people doing this in my trading guilds.

    Try it out yourself.

    That's not how it works. The gold farmers weren't able to get into the vet zones because it was a significant time investment on having to manually burn through the minimum necessary content to get there. I'm sure some did back near launch (in fact I know a few did), but with delve farming dead, those methods are effectively gone.
