All sites buy gold for cheap and resell for higher prices.

They obviously know how to move gold around and not get caught.

Then there is the other way of thinking, Blizzard could "make characters" to sell gold and be the ones supplying the gold and making more profit secretly. It wouldn't be the first time an MMORPG has done it.

Ban a few a month to make it look like you care and voila, free income since you're creating it.

I have one word for this: Pathetic.
Eh, what if he already has all that?

Either way though, this isn't as stupid as some of the other celebrity purchases I've heard over the years, like Puff Daddy and his dumbass yearly birthday parties ranging around $1mil each.

I spent most of my money on wine, women, and song. The rest I just wasted.

I can farm 300g an hour. Hence that's about 7200g a day. Therefore 138 days of full on playing can make you a millionaire. I'm sure people have done that. I don't even think it's a world first. There's a guy on my server with 2 gold capped characters so that's 428k right there.

People are getting so stupid.. To spend 40k on game credits is just.. Ah is this for real? Absolutely ridiculous.

WOW is a curse I'm telling you, I don't understand why it's so popular, honestly it sucks..
