why did I receive 100,000 gold when I logged on?

goldconversion.jpg ...... troll'd much? he used that / command that changes how much one copper is worth (just a visual effect) then he sold some random shit in his bag

Clearly you should put in a ticket to have the gold removed.

I would just not say anything, and be happy for 100k gold.

[kingjakef]

/run SILVER_PER_GOLD = X is the command just change the X to whatever.

Thats what 6000+ badges? >;o

I am guessing you were honor capped at 75k honor still since you hadn't logged into since the honor cap was changed to 4k.

This sounds highly probable. Both conversions (old honor into new honor, and new honor over 4k cap into gold) were done at login. For players that have logged in between these conversion events (4.0.1, and 4.0.3a), things would be done properly. Players that haven't, like our gnome friend here, would have both conversions done at the same time. The problem is likely caused by the conversions being done in the wrong order. So, the game turned his 75k honor directly into gold (at the new honor conversion rate), rather than convert it to the new honor first.

Not only should you report this to a GM, you should post it on the bug report forum.

Gold farmers get banned for actually being gold farmers, they don't ban people who they "think" are anything, they actually do some research.

You realize that the majority of gold farmers use OTHER people's accounts, not create their own accounts. Knowing this, blizzard doesn't go around banning gold farmers left and right and risk losing good paying customers who're just trying to get their accounts back.

Unless You posted a grip of stuff on the Auction House before you left. When it Expired it just threw all of the gold to you when you logged on. That's something that could have happened, Think hard?

Fooling people isn't trolling.

[Asrialol]

Tell Blizzard then they'll probably strip it off. 100k ain't much.

Fooling people isn't trolling.

Trolling has many subjects, also fooling someone.

Considering this hotfix

The amount of gold received when converting Battleground Marks of Honor above the honor cap has been reduced to the intended amount.

Id say you got more than it was supposed, just pretend nothing happened and live happy with them.

[Gramexer]

Oh yeah !

/script GOLD_PER_SILVER=0.01

Ftw!

[kingjakef]

are yall still goin' on about this?

[Trispec]

To be honest you should of said nothing and be happy you got 100k for free.

This, just be grateful God loves you and move on.

[Perfectdark]

you receive thousands of gold from an unknown source and you're here telling everyone your ingame character name so Blizz can remove the gold? Why not just smile and keep the money? lol.....

For my christmas present I'd like to make a DK on your server and get epic flying for my druid.

[Overlord DM]

Stuff like this makes me sad because it doesnt happend to me D'8

[Ðuracell]

Even if He had Many emblems. He wouldn't recieve 100K gold. You would have to have had, jeez, You would have had to have had at least 5-7 thousand badges of justice or heroism.

I know people who had that many badges >.>

Fooling people isn't trolling.

Then what is trolling?

[GeorgeParty]

Then what is trolling?

An internet Slang which means to intentionally attempt to rile people with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response (Anger most commonly) or disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

The term comes from the internet using a corruption of the word Troll.
Troll (Verb): to fish with a moving line such as trailing the line behind a slow-moving boat.

As the act of trolling is likened to throwing out bait and trying to pull in suckers.

Unfortunately what specifically counts as trolling and what counts as "Having a Laugh" or accidental de-rail varies greatly between user groups, for some something which is taken as a joke or minor offence is taken as trolling by others.

Back on Topic, sorry for the meandering off-course there

However I do find it strange that you have all those boxes of bombs in your bags.

He's planning to pull off a Guy Fawkes on Stormwind obviously.
