bot and gold sellers/cheaters w/e you wana call them are a problem in every single video game
if you guys expect that they can shut them down overnight or anything close to this your unreasonabl ,
the best we can do is not buy there products they sell or Plarium giving out better deals than the competition makes them worthless...
btw.... what the hell do these guys even sell?
even small leagues have a "Scroll Bank" and something similar.... they cant be selling resources because raiding is like the only fun part of the game....
iam confused at what these bots actually sell and make monie from....
is there a way to "gift" items or sappires in the game?
This is all new to me also but I have been reading through this and some other threads today and this is my grasp on the situation. Hopefully those in the know will correct any errors I make.
A "Gold Seller" runs a program which sets up hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Bot accounts. He then sends mail to select, real players offering them cheap Resources. Say he gets an order for 1 million gold, he then gets each of the bots to send enough gold to fill the order to a "Master Account" (Reaper, this will probably NOT be an account called Master. More likely just another bot name.) or maybe several master accounts. The gold is then transfered to the buyers account at a cost far less than the buyer could get them from Plarium. (I haven't figured how this is done efficiently, surely not 50k at a time?)
So that is it in a nut shell. Have I got it badly wrong anywhere?
EDIT: WARNING Thats how it works IF they are a true (Haha I almost said legitimate) gold seller but there is just as much chance that they could just be fraudsters after your credit card number. SO DON'T GO THERE.
