    I DID provide pictures. I'm REALLY disgusted by PWI supports response to this type of scamming. Something so BLATANTLY unscrupulous as this should not be allowed.. but nope.. it's all a-ok and hunky dorie.

    I'm so disgusted by this, i'm flat refusing to buy any more gold. I've spent 1200+ dollars in this game since I started late in october (first zen purchase the 21'st of october).. I won't be spending another dime to support this company after this response.

    Are you serious, have you really spent that kind of cash on this game. 1200 dollars. That is freakin incredible to imagine those kinds of costs spent in a MMORPG. I am sure PWI loves your account.

    The most I have ever spent was 130$ in a year accumalitive. That was for 2 pay2play accounts

    Hello Saitada,

    Thank you very much for bringing this issue to our attention and you have a very good suggestion. We have taken note of this and are looking into making a change. However, due to the process that the change has to go through, this will not be something that is fixed overnight and may take 2-3 patches to go by before it is implimented. Once again, very good suggestion and yes, we do have a hands-off approach to the in-game economy set by players which is common of any game company. That is mainly because if we attempted to set those trade prices ourselves, the ultimate end result would be that the items would be more valuable than the in-game currency or everyone will end up poor with only 5% of the population on the server having the majority of the coins. Please note that anyone that purchases the in-game coins from a third-party website (which is against the Terms of Service and is bannable, DON'T DO IT OR I WILL FIND YOU) also contributes to the increase of item prices and over time causes inflation of the economy on that server. So it is not only Perfect World Entertainment that can effect the economy but all of you as players effect it as well. The more of you that stick to the Terms of Service, the more stable your economy will be on your servers.

    Got on my soap-box for a second, let me get back down to Earth here. Thanks again for the suggestion and hopefully we can do something more sooner than later. Remember that we cannot police in game trades so it is up to you as the player to make sure you do not get scammed so educate yourself before you buy (just like real life, wierd eh?) and these bad apples can't trick you.

    Good to know ya'll are doing something about this. I can wait a cpl patches for a needed change to go through the Q&A process, etc. Thanks for looking into it and seeing that it does have a rather ambiguous wording, and being willing to change it.

    I've still spent less playing PWI than I have other games I used to play. On average i'd have anywhere from 4-8 game accounts running at any one time for a particular game, and would frequently be playing 2-3 different games. More often than not it was because I didn't have the account space for the stuff I needed to do, or the characters I wanted to play.

    $1200 over 3 months works out to an average of $400.00 a month. My normal gaming outlay until I found PWI was around $500.00 - $600.00 in monthly recurring charges to my card. (depending on how many accounts i'd have running at any one time). So i'm saving money playing PWI.

    People are free to name and price things any way they like. If you are concerned about people being misleaded why not accuse those selling sources or feathers for 2k as well? I mean the description is the same so people will once again assume you only need 1 and pay 2k for something completely useless to them. That is also a scam according to your definition. Oh and Solandri, you have no idea what a free market is.
