ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Completely Eliminate Gold Buyers Methods

This is an interesting idea, and it's been suggested by many other players (in other talk pages). Your means of delivery are way out of line though, I would edit the article myself, but I'd rather have a moderator do it instead. The lines under "Why this would not work" are irrelevant and may even be offending to some people. I vote to either A: delete this article altogether or re-write it from scratch. Again, good suggestion but terrible way to get your point across. Thumbs down. --ChristopherRodrigues 20:30, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

That irrelevant stuff was not done by the original poster, judging by the History, and is mostly violating NPA, so I guess it should be removed. Well, better than a guess, because that's what I'm doing. /agree with above. --Chaiyo Kaldor talk contribs 20:35, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Erm, you can easily sell essentially free things (like collector drops) in an auction house for as much gold as you want. I guess you didn't think this through enough =p. Also, it's an unnecessary pain in the ass. — Skakid 20:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

NO! Runescape did this, and they lost 500,000 non paying members, and 250,000 paying ones. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:72.78.182.69 (talk).

LAST thing we need is for Anet to take advice from JaGex.

Wouldn't losing 500k non-payers and 250k payers be a net profit gain? Assuming the non-payers used the same amount of resources as the paying subscribers, of course. Guess it depends whether you had 250k subscribers before the change, or 10 million though. - Elder Angelus 21:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, bite my head of, but I think gold sellers are good for Guild Wars IF, and only if, they get banned. I wouldn't expect gold sellers to stop so they have to buy a new account, which fills Arenanet's treasury. As long as they keep getting banned and get new accounts, they could pay a (relatively) large percentage of the expenses. HeavenMonkey 19:15, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

I took the suggestion as sarcasm, haha.--Zathic 02:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
