Seriously do you think anyone is stupid enough to spend that much on ingame

smells like bull ****e to moi

Damn how did they even farm 1,000,000 gold to begin with!

And that doesn't even seem like a very good deal, I coulda sworn i got a better deal when I got 50g for a few dollars...

But 40k on wow? He is obviously going to get caught, there aren't that many lv 2 female gnomes sitting in IF with 200k + gold hah, should be easy to find.

But srsly donate it to charity you greedy wow player. Disgusting.

What would you even do with 1,000,000 gold anyways?

Now he can setup trusts for his wowkids.

gold farming in wow is such a horrible thing to deal with, why would this guy want to do this? 10 minutes of fame? So not worth it IMO...

WoW isn't very strict on gold farmers...do you know why? Well gold farmers also pay their nice monthly fee as well, and it really doesnt effect any particular servers economy. 1,000,000g's might, but on a smaller scale Blizzard really doesnt care.

Even if that's right, they're guaranteed to ban him. It's a quick and awesome way of getting 1M gold seller gold out of the system.

What? Gold Farmers often pay with stolen credit cards IIRC. Any refunds because of this comes out of Blizzards wallet. MMOs in general are very strict on goldfarming. Plus wouldn't the more Blizzard bans the goldfarmers the more cash Blizzard would get from those goldfarmers resubscribing? I think Blizzard cares a lot about goldfarmers. Hell I remember Blizzard saying that the will be sueing someone over selling gold IRL.

I have to agree though...some people out there are a lil suspicous of the idea of people spending that much money on "in-game currency". If you check it out there has been currency loses in EVE where a corporate would "infiltrate" another HUGE corporate and the IRL loses would amount to about $20,000-$30,000. Hell I heard of a infiltration that took two years and the IRL amount came to like $60,000. I believe it was in the Gaming World Record Book.

-Yeah I understand your point...and it is true that all WoW gold is property of Blizzard. The basic logic that I'm putting into play is why pay someone/s (XX.XX per/hour) to search for someone that is paying $15/month or not paying $15/month either or. Blizz has a lot of other things on their plate to worry about...new competition/expansions other devolopments. All that I am saying is that they are prob not putting gold farmers on the top of their priority list, weather they pay or not.
