Xirus5: Did you read the post about the guy who bid 1mil on lich king mount just secounds after it went up? The prices people are willing to spend when a certian item comes up is insane. If Atiesh came up im sure any player with less then 500k wouldnt stand a chance.

Klockworke: I saw a post on MMOC saying someone found Atiesh on the BMAH. Crazy drops.

FXFXF20: awesome sc hoodie

Nyral Sunsdottir: Black market ah =black market It make sence to me

RLgamer13: He didn't say it was player to player...

DGAFiNiT101: TLPD!! i kinda hope i see this on the BMAH!!

TerreusGaming: "This is a gold sink, plain and simple. It's a way to bleed off the vast amount of gold some people are acquiring, because when you buy an item from the BMAH, your gold doesn't go to anyone. It's a fancier, more random vendor, and if you're trying to use it to gear up your character, you'd probably get better results with the actual AH. Blizzard seems fine with this not being something designed to benefit most players, and I think that's the best way to approach it." - Zarhym

TerreusGaming: Actually, I believe it's not Player to Player selling on the BMAH, it's NPC to Player Selling, the NPCs are placing the items on the BMAH, as that's what has been seen in the Beta at the moment.

squirreludecker: the gold seller is IGE, not IGN.

squirreludecker: thats good, since you've ran out of what to say a few posts back. you twisted your argument into "social = interacting with people ever" when MY original point was that if you want a Social game that requires other players to proceed, then go play a facebook game. There is no larger community in WoW, there is either your guild, or the random player queues. You can be "social" with your guild, but random players cant reach that level of connectivity for the short amount of time they are together

MrEliiz: and if you want to play a single player game, go play a RPG. If you want to play with other playes (MMO-) then you should realise that it will need some cordination and social aspects of kind...as long its not something so simple like a MOBA, but even that requiers some social connetcion betweens the players. Understand the difference, im not gonna continue this "converstation"...

EsketchM: NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN!!!!....Damn it Hitler.

squirreludecker: you realize your point is weak when you have to split hairs over implying that a "multiplayer" game means social, right? Multiplayer just means more than one player. "Massively Multiplayer" means a lot of players at the same time. "Massively Multiplayer Online" means that massive number of players are connected to each other over the internet. Nothing about that screams "Social" or "i have to work with other people" only that other people exist. Just like in real life

MrEliiz: never said that, but there is still a BIG difference between a RPG and the developed social MMORPG...you see these letters "MMO" ye..MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE...nothing social in those words...naaaah...

Valkris84KT: Type in IGN5, or IGNSUN, hell just google IGNgold and you'll see tons of them as they all mirror off of each other using the same services. I use to post about them on the blizz forms since most of the spam sites from IGN gold sites. Yes the IGN most ppl know is a game review site, hence why this gold making machine borrows it's name.

squirreludecker: in vanilla 2 gold was $10. and IGN doesnt sell gold, they do video game articles.

squirreludecker: Ass Wage? As in, Paid Butt?

squirreludecker: wow. theres actually someone out there who believes Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games arent Role Playing Games. I guess it takes all kinds. That is all. Have a good day.

MrEliiz: No, there is a big difference between an RPG and a MMORPG. Thats all. have a good day

Valkris84KT: Your marketers won't by in for gold is the endgame, but removing 3rd party gold would force IGN to raise their prices and as their supply dwindles the economy should stabilize cause if you were around in vanilla, 100$=1000g now in days it looks something like this, 10$=10000g.

Valkris84KT: The one point your missing is the endless supply of 3rd party gold. Sites like IGN, and you know what I mean when you get the spam. Have almost limitless supplies on all servers at different prices for opposite factions. BMAH would in a way con the player who has been buying illegally, forcing the gold into the void space and out of economy. Gold that can't be generated again or reused.

Dougyamen: Rules on a Black Market? Look at the context of it.

Dougyamen: Look at his hands throughout the entire video, and imagine they are sock puppets, enjoy

pjyourbgs: nice head pubes

TheScaper28: the time u spend to farm the gold is going to be = if not more than the time spent to get the item.
