Sounds logical.
But how can they even recognize, that someone bought Gold illegaly?
Do they check every trade-process? Would be very creapy ._.
I firstly too thought of buying Vindictus Gold from a gold seller, because I didn't know, that this is illegal, but as I saw that so many players have been banned, I immediately changed my decision.
And one day after that, I made a Solo run and got a rare item.
And finally on the other hand it's way cooler if you can say you got all your rare stuff by yourself. Patience pays off... if that's correct english O.o
That's how I think about it. ^^
