funny, on firefox at home.. triumph's cat dance REALLY quickly.. anyway

i just had a thought... banning IP in china just means ppl in china cant log into fiesta right...? the site and all still exist...

all they hv to do is hirer a few geeks in india (one of the other cheap labour nation? that's where we get all our telesales call from) and get them to log in from there... presto! bots on the go again... they can try ban the entire india too.. and ban half the world wherever the bots come from...

just doesnt work....

Firefox makes him dance quickly for some reason.

Like I said, it's far, far away from a flawless solution.

It's illegal to do that though. Not that they really do anything about it seeing as there are thousands if not millions of people doing it each day.

Warcraft went ahead and treathen to sue the actual websites. And since then no more "whisper" to get to their website to buy gold. *Ta da*

lol, and WoW would've won too because technically it goes against the ToS on almost any game. The Silver Gold or whatever they are selling doesn't belong to them but to outpsark. So by them selling it they can get into lots of trouble.

There are approximately 100,000 Chinese players, as of 2005, employed in the gold market business. Yes, employed. Monthly salaries range from $120-250 a month, or roughly 1750 RMB a month. That's a pittance, but some people are desperate.

By default, gold farming and selling is in direct violation of the EULA we all agreed to when registering, but the effort that is required to track down each violator is so great that no sane person is willing to do it.

I actually suggested that once that Outspark or whom ever threaten to sue or to actually sue the websites but someone told me they couldn't which, in my opinion, is utter crap.

I am just offering a suggestion.

the thing with those terms and conditions that you agreed to are bounded to those jurisdiction only, usually.

Say, Outspark is based in US (i'm not too sure just assuming XD) and i'm here in Australia.. the terms and condition from a US company may not have any affect on us Aussies. It's extremely hard to sue across country... (which goes in line with wat Mages said...)

unless these sites are hosted and serviced in the same country as the game... its a tough caught case... and probably a really really expensive one too...
