You’ve just come home from a busy day of work and want to get down to that raid, but you suddenly realize that you do not have any WoW gold. That’s bad news. It means you can’t buy the potions and food that you need to increase your crit rating, it means you won’t be able to buy the Lavabolt Crossbow that has just dropped in price on the auction house, and worst of all, it means you’re gonna have to start doing some daily quests for some quick gold, so you can at least pay your repair bills during and after the raid.
Daily quests are for dummies
But you could save yourself a whole lot of time if you could just buy WoW gold off someone. Why would you waste your time doing the things you don’t like (daily quests and grinding stuff to sell) instead of just paying to play the bits that you do like (raiding and shopping on the AH). Making money in the game is for bored or lazy people who don’t have a job and a social life. You just want to log Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays for your raid and be done with it. So how are you going to get your hands on some safe WoW gold?
Safety first…
Safety should be your first consideration. WoW gold is usually obtained by hacking people’s accounts using trojan and virus programs. This information is obtained illegally and involves credit card fraud and identity theft. The problem is clear — if you buy gold from a person who engages in this type of activity then you could be opening up your computer to similar attacks. You could be exposing and risking your identity and your finances to criminals. Worse of all, many times these criminal outfits are in countries far out of the reach of your legal jurisdiction, so you often have no way to recover anything you lose. Clearly this is not a risk you want to take!
So where do I get Warcraft gold then?
The answer is simple, you buy it from other players. Buy your gold from people you know or who you play with regularly. While buying and selling gold may be against Blizzard’s terms of service, it’s certainly not illegal and if you trade with a friend they have no way of knowing anyway.
The first thing you and your friend need to do is get Paypal accounts. Next, discuss in chat or on Ventrilo how much gold you are interested in buying and what you would trade it for. Transfer them the money over Paypal and they give you the gold in game.
The answer couldn’t be simpler and you need to make use of the people in your guild and your social circle in game. Let’s say there’s a guy in the guild who plays a lot of WoW and doesn’t have anything else to do. Simply commission him to farm WoW gold, items, reputation, whatever!
