The old exchange rate was 2 to 1 as I recall but I hear it is up to 3 to 1 these days. At least someone mentioned that to me last month. Don't know myself since I haven't exchanged any.
And no it is
NOT a scam. It is hard to get large quantities of gold in Pre so the money becomes like any commodity and it is therefore "worth" more due to "supply and demand" than Post money. You use the gold to buy lots of Nick's presents or dyes or Charr bags or stacks of whatever to ship on your mule to Post.
It has been what people have been doing since forever but especially since Nick starting giving out presents for farmed items in Pre. That's how a lot of Party, Drunk and even Sweet titles have been farmed via Pre over the years.
(And there are also people who want large amounts to buy black and/or white dyes in Pre for their toons there as a way to stockpile an item they can sell later for more money like ectos are used in Post).
