Honestly, I've never heard of anyone buying gold to spend it recklessly. You what what people buy gold for? BoE epics for their raiding characters, Epic Mount training, and that's generally as far as it goes. No one grabs 5000g to spend on copper ore.

The prices aren't being affects by things being bought up at high prices, what sense does that make? When you search for something on the AH, it's usually the lower prices that come up, I doubt too many people see Netherweave cloth stacks at 3g and think, "Hmm, I have 5k gold, where's the 4g stacks?". The only thing messing with prices in WoW are greedy idiots jacking up the prices of things that aren't often farmed. Which is why things like Thorium and Mithril Ore are barely around, but still cost anywhere from 15-30 gold a stack.

Plus stopping IGE from selling gold won't affect anything, their customers will move to other places then, it just means the supplier of gold will change.

Grendal: Jacks actually a really good example of how not to deal with your mental illness and what can happen if it goes untreated
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:37pm
Grendal: Well most people with a mental illness admit it and get help instead of trolling a website for their ego ala jack

BlackIce: True, that does explain why the Patriot Act is legal, but..
Posted 07/05/08 at 02:21pm
Grendal: As far as I know theres no law banning people with mental illness from holding jobs as lawyers or judges
Posted 07/05/08 at 12:40pm
BlackIce: Sadly, the law banning Mentals from any sort of important job isn't well enforced. Therefore, Jackie is still a "Lawyer".
