Selling or purchasing Guild Wars in-game items or gold for or with real money is prohibited and against the EULA.

i will be more clear.

the account with the gold is...........

LOCKED
CLOSED
BANNED
UNAVAILABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
IT IS GONE
YOU WILL NOT GET A GOLDPIECE FROM IT.

IS THAT CLEAR?

you buy the new game and start over without anything from the closed account.

they close them a thousand at a time

while you can buy gold online it is unethical, unsafe, and against the user agreement you made when you created your account. i also believe this topic is against the policy of these forums

okay let me clarify something buying gold off of ebay or any other website IS NOT against the EULA because any site you buy it from clearly states that you are paying for the TIME and EFFORT the person used to get you the gold and there is nothing in the EULA that says a person can't give you gold so that little sentence in the gold sellers website or ebay advertisement protects from any and all possibility of being banned for the sale of gold in game. Although buying and selling gold is cheap and unnessicary it is no way against the EULA. thanks for your time

here is an example that i just retrived off of an ebay gold seller-

Remember you are paying for the time I spent on collecting these Items/Gold, not the Items/Gold themselves. All characters, items and Gold in "Guid Wars" are the sole property of NCSoft Corporation. This auction is not for the ownership of their intellectual property but it is merely for the time I spent acquiring the credits and getting them to you, all item is and will remain sole property of SOE/Lucas Arts. "Guid Wars" is a trademark of NCSoft Corporation.

Bullshit!

Article 7 of the EULA clearly states :-

Quote:
You may not sell or auction any Game(s) accounts, characters, items, coin or copyrighted material, nor may you assist others in doing so.
Case closed!

Well technically they aren't selling the gold... but the labour spent getting the gold. You are paying for their time not the gold itself.

again note it says you may not sell the items it does not state that you can't pay somebody to help you get the items you are not paying for an account, characters, items, coin or copyrighted material you are paying a person for their time which this clearly states

Remember you are paying for the time I spent on collecting these Items/Gold, not the Items/Gold themselves. All characters, items and Gold in "Guid Wars" are the sole property of NCSoft Corporation. This auction is not for the ownership of their intellectual property but it is merely for the time I spent acquiring the credits and getting them to you, all item is and will remain sole property of SOE/Lucas Arts.

It still doesn't negate the fact that the items are already on an auction site, regardless of what the seller says you're paying for, and therefore is in violation the EULA! Simply by advertising them on the auction site the seller is in breach of the EULA.

to anyone who thinks they can buy ebay gold and think they won't get their account banned, by all means please go ahead and do so, would be good to get rid of these types in our community

the reason they make that disclaimer is NOT to avoid the EULA (because it doesnt) it is because if they didnt make that disclaimer then they would be admitting they are selling the property of another corporation without authorization, and they would be liable to be sued for every penny they have.
THATS why they make those lame disclaimers.
fact of the matter is this is a moot point; if you buy gold anet can ban you, and theres a good chance they will. same goes for the vise versa. its a bad idea, period.

even if its not again EULA,but thats like cheating.you need to get the money in a honest way like in real life.even if its the easy way to get money in ebay,but it count as the bad way also like a cheater.remember,think before you do anything.im just telling.

Not to add more kerosene, but simply because clearification is needed.

The loophole continues as follows:

Gold Farmer advertises an auction of his/her time and effort in a video game (both his/her time and effort is not legal property of ANet or NCSoft.)

Person who wants to get the easy streak in the game, negate everyone else's effort and just wants "gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!" (aka, the Ebayer) bids on said Famers time and effort.

Gold Farmer, feeling 'generous' for the Ebayer's bid, meets him in-game (as one may meet a friend) and donates an amount of gold/items.

---

That's the down and dirty process, it's not 'right' and it's not fair, but it follows all of the EULA specifics. No ANet/NCSoft property is traded/purchased.

They have pictures of Guild Wars Gold and Items, yes... but so does this site, so do many fan sites. In fact there have been several condoned instances on this site of generous players holding competitions with prizes of gold/items.

Hence, the loophole.

---

In short, don't use EBay, play the damn game.
