I cant believe someone paid £410 for those accounts. I know what i'll be doing with mine when i'm done. That'll cover a new new intercooler for the wagon

A lot of this 'farming' is done on automated bots that they have running around. Its quite common to do this to get gold and materials, although Blizzard and the players can notice wooden bot behaviour (the bots can respond to whispers and basic questions but nothing complicated !) and ban the account if they find them.

I dont think its worthy of an income (certainly not one that you would use to pay a mortgage !) but if i can sell my account once i am done with WOW for some cash then why not !? This is going to be around for some time - its a subscription service so the content is constantly evolving and growing...its superb.

BTW is anyone else on WOW? I'm a level 29 Priest on Laughing Skull if anyone wants to join me and 3 others

No myself and my 2 mates arent in a guild at the minute. I'm not too bothered to be honest but if we got a few of us from here on WOW then i would be interested in a Pistonheads guild as we'll play nicely and share our toys

My main character is called Dachande on Laughing skull. I have plenty of enchants, money, and tailoring skills to help anyone on their way

i'd be up for joining a PH guild. I currently play a lvl 29 Gnome Warlock (Called Thegofer). I created my account on Draenor last year but it seems to always be full these days, so'd be willing to move over to a new realm.


You are more than welcome to join me and my small group of friends (we have about 6 people on now) on laughing skull - We have some very good team players so it makes the game a lot more satisfying

Rob - i'm surprised you are having bad ping times these days, are you on broadband ? Are you using a European realm ? What sort of ping are you getting ? For some reason mine fluctuates between 30ms and 200ms depending on where i am in Azeroth, but its doent really cause a big problem ?
