Stopping Gold Selling Websites

Hey

Seems from day one Neverwinter has been plagued by the gold spammers...

You keep on ignoring them, but they come back up with new accounts through the ranks again and again and again.

Well maybe it is time Cryptic/Perfectworld, and well your average joe player of the game starts hitting them....

How well two ways.

1) Cryptic/Perfectworld could take out an injunction on the company behind the site and maybe recover the profits behind them.

2) Gamers could bombard the DNS registrar with an abuse report.

Spamming in a game that is against the games rules is technically abuse.

Now how are you going to find that info, well by using whois......

Lets get the process started

WWW.*******.COM

We have all seen this one and is the one of the most prolific.

The abuse contact details is as follows.

Registrar Abuse Contact Email: abuse@list.alibaba-inc.com
Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +86.1064242299

And the full whois is as follows.

    I'd say it's Cryptic's job to get rid of the chinese farmers from No.27 Gulouwai Avenue,Dongcheng District,Beijing 100120,China, not the player's job.

    I've bought more than 5k zen in 1 transaction before ingame. It's not a regular thing, but why should players who do be punished? That key buying didn't go so well ):. Anyway if it was simple to take them down, I would've expected them to do so already.

    The only simple and certain way to stop gold sellers is to take down the game entirely. If you block trading (of items or gold) between characters, gold sellers will just offer to farm gold for you when you'd otherwise be offline. And they will make sure that their services are advertised somehow, even if you couldn't chat ingame or see character names.

    The current system, while not all that effective, still works well enough. And any ingame restriction is likely to be either easily bypassed by the sellers or scare away legit players.

    I suppose the other thing to consider is, Why are there gold/AD sellers?

    The simple answer is the grind and items in the game are too expensive/time consuming for the average player to get. Solve that problem and then you won't have AD/gold sellers. If it was fun and not tedious to get these guys would naturally dissapear.

    If they did go away right now, I can guarantee you that enchantments, coalescent wards and a whole lot of other things would go way up in price.
