Do KO official folks know these websites sell items, chars and gbs?
- Yes, they do.
If you buy from or sell to these webpages, are you going to be banned?
- Probably not, unless you start publishing to everyone that you are doing it. On old servers, most of +10 itens are negociated for TL or USD as it is really hard to trade 100gbs or so by using the in game trade. If NTT decides to delete all the items / gbs bought from those websites, the game economy would crash and many big players would quit. So I don't see them doing it. But yeah, hopefully they will create rules to those resellers, prohibiting them to sell items and in game products.
Am I encouraging you to buy something?
- Hell no! I wouldn' risk my money with items... and they always ask too much for the items (specially if you are not in turkey. I heard that you end up paying about 30% more if you don't have a turkish account or card.)
Besides, those companies are affecting a lot the game economy in most servers.
I believe they stocked so many gbs that "in game money" (noahs) became something really rare and therefore, worths a lot now.
Imagine a company with enought credit to buy like 3000 gbs for 4TL each... (nothing crazy, right? We are talking about 5k usd investment)It's just a matter of time until people start feeling the need of gbs in game... then they rise the gb price to 16TL each and... bang, that's 300% profit in there >. <
