Gold spam in Wildstar is awful. Credd doesn't seem to be doing much to slow them down. Not that anyone has actually needed to buy any game time yet...

As much as it's against the ToS, people have been doing this in WoW for years. Since you can "gift" a code to someone, what is stopping you "gift" gold to someone? I know several people who do it simply because it's so damn easy to make the required gold to buy a months sub fee, and I don't really see Blizzard caring to much, they are still selling a months sub, they aren't really loosing out on anything.

Spammers in any game with an economy are always awful, especially early on in the games life. They will slowly die down (but never completely vanish) over time.

Yeah, Credd's only been up for one/two days >.< Give it time to actually have an effect on gold spammers. For example: On the one gold site they sell 200 gold for 20$......you can buy Credd for $20 and the buy out price on the AH this morning was 500 gold. So even if you're contemplating to buy gold from these gold sellers then it's a pretty dumb move to do so.

The game has been released one week ago and the CREED have been active only since yesterday, give it few months and you will see. Originally Posted by Amsden

Meh I already use the wildstar system in WOW. 100k gold to my poor (in WOW terms) brother and he buys me a 6 month game time card.

People already sell game time for gold in game.
The only thing this does would be to make it official. it's a better system than the guardian cub if you ask me.
But I know tons of people who never paid for game time.

Just keep rl money away from me as far as possible when I play. I really hate all those sell run services and what so ever...

To be honest.. i would rather have Gold sellers than blizzard starting to offer gold purchase for real life money, because if blizzard started to sell packs of 10.000/20.000/50.000/100.000 gold, it would totally destroy the servers economy.. The gold that the gold sellers sell is usually gold that is already on the server..
That kind of Inflation would totally destroy people without alot of gold/alot of RL money..

It's not like that, somebody buys the tradeable gametime through the store, then sells it, the price of gold would be decided by the playerbase, not Blizzard Originally Posted by mmo_lol

I thought that too. Not only is your method above valid, but who is to say that gold sellers aren't going to just make their price lower than that of the CREDD? Why pay $15 for CREDD which is worth lets say 10,000 gold, when you can buy 10,000 gold from a gold sellers website for $10 instead? Originally Posted by IRunSoFarAway

Uhm, mate. You might wish to re-read the original post? Just saying, it is a good idea, you would find out that is wasn't gold selling we were about. Originally Posted by mmo_lol

You can buy gold for money anyways. Just with more risk.
Unless Blizzard starts with gold spam in the channels all over Org I don't see how this could be a bad thing.

Typical mmo-c thread, people using dumb logic to accomodate for their ignorant opinions. Formalizing and encouraging buying gold - a pay-to-win service, by the way - does not make it a good thing. Yes, it is possible to do it in wow nowadays, but it is actively pursued and bannings happen all the time because of it.
But hey, if people continue to follow the trend of not caring that the blizz store is becoming more and more prominent as well as the appearance of an instant level 90 service, we might very well be on the verge of such game-breaking system. I bet people will still claim it's fair because some people don't have the time to farm gold...

Have fun living in 2004. Maybe if you ever get with the times you can make some good money on sports betting. Originally Posted by Tolkien
