Buying MMO Accounts : The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Many of us who play Massively-Multiplayer-Online games such as World of Warcraft, City of Heroes/Villains and so on have come across a gold farmer once in a while. These aren’t your average players; many of them are automated bots while some are controlled by real persons, but their main intention is to loot as much gold as possible. These are small cogs in the mighty wheel of commercialism – they exist because, well, someone must be using their services.

Well it’s not that bad really. Spending a few real-world dollars to get that powerful Orc weapon in World of Warcraft can come useful at times. I am cool with it as long as these gold farmers don’t hinder my enjoyment of the game, although I’ve never dealt with them or used their services.

But another aspect that we are seeing nowadays is the ready-made level 60 or 70 characters that are up for sale. It makes me wonder and think, who would be foolish enough to buy something like that? I mean doesn’t it beat the point of playing the game in the first place? It might be tempting to start your journey in Azeroth with a beefed-up level 70 character, but sooner or later, the people are going to find out.

That’s because your Orc slaying skills will not match those of your peers or that of a true level 70 character; you can’t substitute anything for hard-earned experience.

Then there are others who might be putting an end to their online dungeon-raiding careers. For them, the vast amount of time and investment they’ve put in doesn’t warrant them to just let go of their character and forget. If you are one of them, then I suggest you to push your luck and auction or sell your character on a reputable site, such as MMOBay.net. Believe it or not, there still people out there who will spend their hard earned cash on this stuff. As for those that are just starting out or bored of your existing character then you might also wish to buy a WoW account.

As for the rest of us, we prefer to play and earn our way to the top. A fitting conclusion isn’t it?
