PSA: Buying Gold Can Harm You

Hello all,
I will keep this short.
When you buy gold from a website, it is not only harmful to the game and supports the very bots you hate.
But you also open yourselves up to keyloggers and other ways the very people you paid can hack your account, sell all your things and steal back the gold you just bought.
On top of this they usually use your hacked account to spam and bot to collect more gold all while you are desperately trying to get it back.
How will this affect you? Well due to the spamming you can count on most of the server ignoring you making it hard to talk to anyone. Ignores are account wide so rerolling will not help you.
The biggest thing is that you can almost count on it leading to an account ban for the action of those who hacked your account.
If ZOS could confirm I also believe it is a bannable offense to simply buy the gold even if nothing else happened.
Before you buy, think about this and please please do not purchase gold.

Censorious✭✭✭✭The people who are tempted to buy gold generally NEED the big print version.'Clever' sigs get old real fast - just like this one.0 -
xxs0cksxx✭✭You should also mention that people buying gold hurt themselves AND the game, including every player that does not buy gold.
If you buy gold you support the massive spam. You support accouns getting hacked over and over because YOU are responsible for keeping this illegal industry running.
If you buy gold you coorperate with people massively stealing credit cards and commiting frauds every day.
And I hope it hits the people that supports this scheme first.
Edit: Just to voice this: People who buy gold should get banned, too. Because as stated above you support an illegal industry commiting crimes on a daily basis.Edited by xxs0cksxx on April 25, 2014 3:47PM1
