Zavijah.2695 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Why not just buy it on your alt account then, considering you own it, and the same payment source is your bank account, or parentals credit card. I fail to see the difference. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Its so you have to buy it on the other account directly and not use gold transfer as a means to hide your ownership of that account, which is used by scammers or people who intend to hack or break game rules. Remember, expos aren't required to access the competitive modes and be a complete nuisance in them.

I thought they was winning at the trading post..but yea if you are buying gold from anet then just buy it on your other account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Why do you want to send so much gold to your second account? I could understand it if you already had the gold on your main account but the title of the post sounds like you're buying gems, converting them into gold and then sending the gold to another account. Why not just buy gems on the account where you want the gold? (I just checked and free accounts can convert gems into gold, they just can't do it the other way around, so that won't be the issue.)

Craine.8162 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) if i understand OP correctly, he doesnt want to buy gold on one account and send it to the other. it's just a rant that he cannot send more than 500g/week to his alt-account, even if he farmed this gold 100% legit on his main account (or the other way round). all while ANet allows him to buy "infinite" gold via real money.

Dont see the problem just send the gold and take it out week after week. I mean OP do take breaks and dont farm 500g on both accounts week after week right?

So wait the week? I genuinely see no issue there. Buying gold in a single account is self sustained, sending more than 500g to a different account opens for easy RMT manipulation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually argue it doesn't cripple legit players ... if you want gold on account B, buy it on account B. If you want to earn gold on account B, ALSO play account B.

The only reason they'd even NEED to send money via mail to begin with (which this obviously is) is RMT I send money and items between my accounts every so often just because sometimes one has stuff the other needs. For a while I was sending rare items from my main account to my second account, salvaging them and sending the materials back just to use up black lion salvage kits that kept building up on my second account because I don't play it as much but do log in every day I can. (I know it's better to use the kits on exotics, but I didn't want the dark matter stuck on an account that will probably never need it.) But I've never come close to the 500g limit and definitely wouldn't buy gold on one account and send it to the other. I suppose maybe if I already had gems on my main account (like from buying the Ultimate edition of an expansion) and wanted a lot of gold on my second account I might do that, but then the weekly limit wouldn't be an issue because I'd just have to wait to collect it all. If anything it's more likely I'd get an extremely valuable item on my second account and want to send it to the main one to use (if I ever get a precursor I bet it'll be on that account) but then I'd just send the item.

Because when you buy gold from Anet, you pay them. When you transfer gold from one account to another, you might be selling that account to another person later on for real money. WoW still has this problem where people make bots to farm gold. So this system is actually good for the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Besides "why not just buy gold on the other account" you can also buy the items and send those instead for most uses of gold and there is no weekly limit on those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Maybe they want to buy a QoL gem store upgrade for an alt account? Or even an expensive mount skin? So it'd take more than 500 gold? I dunno. I have sent gold from main > alt accounts for gems before, but never had an issue. Normally it is the other way around, I have "harvested" gold on my alts and it takes a couple of weeks to download all the gold from mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I guess I was looking at it more as already having the gold on the main account, which is my situation. Rather than focusing on the buying of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the gem->gold exchange is completely irrelevant unless we are discussing a very stupid person because gem->gold->gem is just wasting money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
