Avoiding World of Warcraft AH Scammers

When you are new to playing World of Warcraft, it is easy to become a victim to other more advanced and savvy warcraft players. The auction house is one of the places where a new player can become easy pray to savvy auction house gamers.

It is amazing that new players are still joining the World of Warcraft after 4 years, but not amazing when you consider just how fun and adictiving this game is. As more players are signing on, more servers are needed to take care of them. This is where this particular auction house scam is more prevalent. And if building wealth is what you are seeking, which of course you will, you will find yourself spending many hours at the auction house.

The scam we’ll be discussing is reverred to as the over-listing scam. What happens is this…

As a new player you will be looking for specific items sold at the auction house. These items may not be very expensive, but to a new player, who is unaware of their value, they can be very lucrative to the over-listing scam artist.

The first part of this scam happens when the scammer waits for a low cost item to be bought out. Once there are none of the items for sale left, the scammer will put the item up for sale at a very high cost. Sometimes 3 to 4 times is actual auction house value. So, an item that usually sells for perhaps 10 gold on average, they will post up for 30 gold.

In order to create a market for this item they now begin pushing the item by means of a message in the trade channel. Because these players use different characters to run this scam it is hard to spot them. One character places the item for sale, the other character places the request in the trade channel. In the trade channel they begin to request that item stating they will pay 40 gold to the seller.

Players who are at the auction house then see that the item requested in the trade channel is actually selling for 10 gold less and that they can buy this item for a 30 gold and turn around and sell it for more in the trade channel making an easy 10 gold profit. However, once the new player or unsuspecting player buys the item, the scam artists withdraws their offer to buy the item.

The best way to avoid falling victim to this type of action house scam is to become familiar with the true value of items at the auction house. As a new player you may end up on a new server. This is where the auction house scams are more prevalent. There is also an add-on called, “Auctioneer” that will help you learn the real value of items saving you a lot of time and keeping you safe from WoW auction house scammers.

A WoW Gold Guide Will Make Your Hunter Rich

Hunters need WoW Gold. Every class can use more gold, but as a Hunter, your character has specialized needs that increase your requirements for gold. This article shows how a gold guide can help your Hunter get piles of gold, and maybe even choose the best professions to support your play style and class.

One major expense Hunters have is firearms. Getting top quality guns (like the Nesingwary 4000), sights, and ammo can really be expensive (exactly how expensive varies from server to server). Hunters also have access to awesome high-level spells like Enchant 2h Weapon – Massacre, which are tremendously powerful and tremendously expensive. To get the most out of your Hunter (and have the most fun) you’ll need a lot of gold to afford all the high-end stuff.

But you can benefit from a guide in another way. If you get a guide that covers all the classes, you can read the advice it has for other classes with regard to Hunters. That can clue you in to who will have gear that you eventually need, and other issues that you’ll need to deal with eventually. You can get a jump on preparing for these future needs and expenses. Then again, you can use the information in a different way.

Knowing that certain items will eventually be an expensive issue for you, you could choose professions and activities that would put you into a position to craft these items yourself, rather than pay another player a ridiculous amount of gold to get that one item you desperately need. You’ve got to choose professions anyway. You should at least consider choosing ones that will best help your character down the road. By looking at a gold guide from a different angle, you can learn all sorts of useful things.

The information in this article is just a taste of what you will find in the Warcraft Tycoon’s Handbook. This well-respected Gold Guide includes useful money-making information for every character class, profession, and experience level. Right now you can get the guide itself, plus three free bonus guides covering additional aspects of making money in World of Warcraft. To get more information, click here.

Two Reasons Your Warrior Needs a WoW Gold Guide

Every Warrior in World of Warcraft needs more gold. Except for the tiny fraction of players who invest in a quality gold guide, every player, regardless of class needs more gold. This article shows how a WoW gold guide can help Warriors get piles of gold and give them a lot more game play options too.

I’m sure you won’t be surprised to learn that a quality Gold Guide will help your character earn lots of gold. The best Gold Guides can help your Warrior earn gold at low levels, not just when the character hits Level 80.

A quality guide covers far more than just which loot you should look for and which creatures you should kill. Where the best WoW Gold Guides shine is in showing you how your Hunter can choose professions that generate gold and fit into your play style. letting your Warrior earn lots of gold fast. A worthy guide will also address topics like Auction House sales tactics and profiting from recurring game activities like nightly raids.

Because they are so full of information, the best Gold Guides can increase your Warrior’s options. The really good guides are based on the current facts of life in the game world, what everyone “knows” is true, or what used to be true before the latest patch. For example, most Warriors avoid the Blacksmithing profession, even though it seems like an ideal one for a character that wears lots of armor. The reason for this is that “everyone knows” that Blacksmithing is a really expensive profession.

As it turns out, what everyone “knows” is old information that’s no longer true. A high-quality current Gold Guide can show you how to make life as a Blacksmith profitable for your character. Instead of spending your hard-earned gold on important gear like Titansteel armor, your character could craft armor themselves for their own use, saving huge amounts of gold. Your character could even begin crafting armor to sell to other players, turning this supposedly expensive profession into a nice source of gold.

As the old saying goes, “knowledge is power,” and the knowledge in a good Gold Guide is very powerful indeed. You just need to make sure you pick a quality Gold Guide.

The examples in this article are only a taste of the kind of information you can find in the Warcraft Tycoon’s Handbook. This top-notch Gold Guide includes useful money-making information for every character class, every profession, and every level of player. Right now you can get the guide itself, plus three free bonus guides covering additional aspects of making Warcraft gold in WoW.
