Americans need some data protection laws that work.

But even if you go to great lengths to protect your privacy, it’s entirely possible that someone else can blow it for you: take the recent revelation that the UK government lost in the post a CD with the bank details and social security numbers of half the country on it.

You have to start picking your battles, and I don’t think WoW is the right place to start a privacy crusade.

“It took me about 2 months to get to 40, I was almost able to afford my first mount then, and that was after a fair bit of messing around with auctioneer.”
My first character had to scrimp and save for her L40 mount, my second one had a handful of gold spare, and my third char could have bought one by L30 or so. My *blood elf* alt could just about afford one by the time he left Ghostlands at L20. Partially improved drops in the new zones, but mostly due to taking advantage of the inflation at the AH. Items which were selling for 10 silver when I started playing are selling for 40-50 silver nowadays, and here’s why:

There’s lots of gold entering the economy at high levels plus people playing alts (PvP twinks, powerlevelling, whatever) equals selling greens & tradeskill stuff on the AH for an insane profit. My main server regularly has mediocre L29 blues selling for up to 100gp each…and that’s assuming you’re just talking lower levels. L70s can just fly around Outland and run daily quests or work on various factions, get the income from them, and then sell any dropped loot/TS stuff (*cough*motes*cough*) for even more cash.

I thought this one deserved an honorable mention, about the guy who cancelled when he saw Warden scan his registry “Sorry that you felt it necessary to cancel your WoW account because you didn’t understand how your computer works, but at least it gives you a lot more spare time for making tin-foil hats”

and this one: “The thing is, since starting to play WoW my life has descended into a meaningless treadmill of levelling and grinding. There’s no longer anything of interest about me that’s worth stealing.” heh

It took me about 2 months to get to 40, I was almost able to afford my first mount then, and that was after a fair bit of messing around with auctioneer. The game works pretty hard to keep you poor. I got tired of the drudge work around level 65. I never even reached level 70 which is where the game really starts.

If I’d had a bot to grind the timesinks and goldsinks for me maybe I’d still be paying a subscription today

Everytime I hear about how evil Blizzard is for preventing cheaters from cheating, I have a huge desire to subscribe to WOW even though I don’t really like it all that much.

Wanderer, could you be so kind as leting us know where are you getting your gold from? I feel like my prayers has been asnwered. I don’t think even the botters are that rich, mainly to keep not getting caught on AH.

I rolled a character on a new server a few weeks ago. I already have 850 gold there, and the toon isn’t even 40 yet. My regular characters on other realms are, well, rich. This isn’t even a character I play all that much, by the way, just one I started because I wanted a break from my mains.

Afford to repair twice as often? Respec twice as often? A day’s worth of daily quest rewards and whatever incidental loot you pick up will keep the average raider in repair money for a whole week, with enough left over to respec for PvP on the weekends. How much more often do you want?

Anyone who doesn’t have all the gold they need in WoW is simply not willing to put in a little effort (mostly spent in web-surfing) to get it. Open the faucet? It’s not a faucet, it’s a bloody fire hydrant, and it’s already on full blast.
