Hi im here to say that my account has just been banned without any notice, becasue i bought gold. I think that guild wars has made even a bigger deal then wow over people and gold buying about 5000 accounts per week are getting banned just because they bought a little or alot of gold. I think in about 6 to 12 months people are going to leave guild wars due to this problem and seek other mmo games. Or some wil stay because of the free gameplay that most mmo's dont support.

Thanks for reading my post, Please list some of your opinions or ideas on this topic.

I dont think that buying/selling gold should be allowed, however getting banned for doing it isn't reasonable. They may just delete your characters and/or ban you for a period of time (1-3months).

Let me get this straight. Its common knowledge if you buy gold in MMO's you will get banned. Specifically in WoW and GW.

You chose to buy gold knowing this.

You got banned due to it.

Now your complaining...

Bro its quite simple. You broke the rules, and you got nailed. Obey the rules and you wont have issues. Gold farmers destroy the economy in MMO's, buying gold encourages it.

Ban gold farmer and gold buyers.

Buying gold ruins the economy and playing experience for those who've farmed to get their. I consider it very good that ANet shows that buying gold isn't tolerated. I don't think very many will start leaving because ANet is banning accounts that's doing something which is illegal and overall ruins the game, they would rather feel more happy to play since it proves that ANet cares about the game.

hahaha...  I run my own successful first year company thank you and know quite a few of the Dev's from ANet and NCSoft

But the point is, Real Money Trading was added to the EULA that YOU agreed to to play the game and you had to agree to it and accept it to play...   The added part is as such:

Update - Tuesday March 18

Real-Money Trading

Today we are taking steps to further protect the game from abuse by real-money trading (RMT) companies. Please read our Policy on Real-Money Trading for more information on how and why we block real-money trading.

• We are adding the ability to block certain IP addresses from the game. In the coming days and weeks, we will be using this capability to block addresses of RMT companies that heavily abuse the game.
   
• We are also adding code to detect and block IP addresses that are running an open proxy, so that players cannot mask their real IP address by connecting to the game through an open proxy.
   
• To clarify our policy on blocking IP addresses from the game, we added the following line to section 7 of the User Agreement:
  

  NC Interactive may from time to time in its sole discretion implement various forms of filtering, blocking or monitoring of IP addresses or proxies used to use, play or access the Game(s) or the Service, including without limitation blocking or filtering measures that restrict your ability to use, play or access the Game(s) or Service outside of the territories in which NC Interactive makes the Game(s) or Service available.

• To combat a growing problem with account fraud, newly created accounts are now restricted from trading with other players within the first 24 hours after account creation. Please see today's Dev Update for more information on this change.

Thanks for the insult. I'm strongly against buying gold, and yet I can't even afford to buy a decent armor for my characters! How can this paradox be? The fact is that I, and probably some others who you just harassed, don't play the game constantly and yet we are against buying gold; how come? Probably because the money we acquire is worth much less because of people like you; people who buy gold thus making the prices rise. Gold buying just ruins it for the casual players, those who can't keep up with the rising prices.
