Nice play off the Mac/Windows commercials.
And you gotta love the ban hammer.
steve Nov 28th 2010 12:13PM
I love the video, especially because one of my friends got banned that way, especially after I told him not to buy gold for a third time, since the second time he got a temporal ban.
He was like dude nothin' aint gonna happen, then BAM!, the Ban Hammer smashed his account, and I'm like told ya, lol.
Shulkman Nov 28th 2010 1:00PM
I realize it was just a goof on your part Steve, but the joke must be made... A temporal ban sounds very serious... Was he removed from the Space/Time Continuum? Did someone go back in time and kill his Great-Grandfather? Seems like a pretty harsh punishment to me...
Baba Nov 28th 2010 1:33PM
Didn't Rory get a temporal ban in the latest series of Doctor Who?
Luminarie Nov 28th 2010 12:15PM
Maybe it's just me, but every time I see Moviewatch on the weekend I have to check to see if I missed class or work.

Would be fun if after Horde bought all the gold, Ally suddenly inexplicably gets hacked, lols.
Revrant Nov 28th 2010 12:34PM
I love the Protoss vs. Zerg one, but this is hilarious too!
PSI STOOOOOOOOOORM!

Don't believe the hype:
You don't get banned anymore for buying gold. You don't even get banned for power leveling. Temporary password reset emails, maybe, but that's it.
16k for a Mechano-hog or T Tundra Mammoth is an invitation... to buy gold.
moosejaw Nov 28th 2010 3:58PM
Hardly an invitation to buy gold. It's easy for anyone to make enough gold to buy anything they want in game. No need to cheat or buy gold.
The mounts that you mention are gold sinks so that folks with a lot of gold have something to spend it on - they are not there to tempt folks without. Sure you get a flashy achievement, but if you are that dedicated to getting achievements, you'd get more than enough gold by grinding/farming rep and selling the items you get that way. You'd also have a ton of achievements to work on before the pricey ones.

Considering the ease of making gold these days (I had a thousand on my level 20 toon, brand new server, no heirlooms, etc), I can't believe people are still lazy (and stupid) enough to buy gold.
Seriously, if you get caught, you deserve the ban you get. If you haven't been caught, yet, don't worry, you still might be. It's better to just not tempt the Fates.

The reason there's banks and armored transports is so can rob them?
While trying to reset my internal clock (yeah, I woke up at 1700 rs and went to bed at 12 day before last, so I guess I'm a bit ... askew) I found my self in Azeroth in the early hours of a new day. And what do you know?
Whispers, whispers, whispers .... felt like one of those slaves in the saronite mines, whispering voices inviting me to Richness Beyond My Dreams.
The Old Gods don't care about Deathwing. They got got farmers to drive us insane.

I'm a PC.... Er, Alliance.
Rakah Nov 28th 2010 3:15PM
We all know Alliance is a mac xD
Wulfkin Nov 29th 2010 4:34AM
True, the cowardly nature of the Alliance is synonymous with a MAC user! :D
El Pollo Grande Nov 29th 2010 11:08AM
Horde are definitely Macs - everyone who has one shouts off constantly about how much better they are, but most people quietly go about enjoying their PC without fanfare.
Dantis Nov 28th 2010 12:53PM
As much as it might be true that they don't ban you for this, you are in essence the cause of peoples' accounts being hacked and everyone requiring such a high level of security precautions. If there's no longer a market for gold selling, then there will be no more gold selling. Unfortunately you can't keep tabs on everyone and there will always be lazy, greedy people that fund these indecent "people."
Haven't been hacked myself (ty authenticator) but friends and even my guild master have, and it slows down the playtime cycle for everyone who's associated with them.

"As much as it might be true that they don't ban you for this, you are in essence the cause of peoples' accounts being hacked and everyone requiring such a high level of security precautions."
Firstly, yes they do ban for it, although only in extreme cases. I got temp banned for buying a ton of gold at the same time, never did that again... Now I just buy small.
I'm so tired of this argument... No, the reason people are being "hacked", is because they have no common sense. It's so freaking easy to protect yourself from getting hacked, all you need is a free anti-virus scanner, Windows Firewall and some very basic common sense. And if you for some reason can't even manage that, there's a lovely thing called the authenticator.
If you think having a firewall and an anti-virus scanner is "a high level of security precautions". Then I feel compelled to tell you, that you should have these tools installed regardless. It's people like you that's the reason we have so many botnets and spammers, because you didn't care enough to install some basic software.
Since I already have pretty much assured me getting downrated into oblivion I might as well defend my gold buying actions.
I like to have fun in games, I like to buy expensive stuff and have fun with it. I don't like farming gold and I was never really interested in the AH market. So I buy gold.
I make about 50 dollars every hour, that's about 25000 gold if the pricing is high, 40000 if it isn't. So untill I see a tactic to farm up to 40000 gold per hour which is not also boring as hell, I'll happily continue to buying gold.
RIchard Nissen Nov 29th 2010 9:09AM
Lol, so many downvotes and not even a comment explaining why I'm being wrong. That's it, I give up on WoWInsider. The only people left here are the circlejerks about how great the authenticator is, how awesome Blizzard is and how lame all goldbuyers are. No discussion, just a lot of agreeing with everyone. And when someone says something you don't agree with, you just hit the downvote instead of responding.
Sad.
Drakkenfyre Nov 29th 2010 10:08AM
You said you bought gold.
And you are asking why you got downvoted?
There is no justification to buying gold. We don't care how much money you make. We don't care if you think it's not worth your time to make it yourself. If you don't have the time to put in for it, or don't want to put the time in, don't play the game. Your actions only further the gold sellers who make it their business to break into people's accounts.
It's due to people like you, are are too damned lazy to actually do something that is easy in the game, that we get body spam in capital cities. We get to see dozens of bodies spell out URL's, we get whispers about "free mount trials now with Cataclysm alpha", we get people whispering us telling us to visit addresses. Yes, I said lazy. If you can't be bothered to do something that is easy in a game, you are lazy.
RIchard Nissen Nov 29th 2010 12:03PM
I'd say that it being far more efficient is justification.
You call me lazy when you can find an antispam addon, install it in 1-2 minutes and you choose not to? Regarding the body spam, if that's all it takes to ruin your game then you can just report one of them and they'll get banned in a few minutes.
Besides, good job trying to spin it towards ingame spammers when my point was that it's not my fault you're stupid enough to get hacked.
