How will Gold Sellers be adressed?

I am so annoyed by them I HATE IT!!
Why should I work hard to farm my gold just for some other guy to be able to buy it without working for it from a site that sells like this?
How will gold sellers be adressed?

Here is what I think: Ashes will have a system that will collect data by which they determine "normal player behavior". Gold selling is not included in that. The system now collects data on all players and at some point someone will expose a gold seller, who will get banned (if I rememer correctly the whole account will be shut down). Now the system has 2 things: (1) a declaration of "guilty of breaking the rules" and (2) the behavior profile of that account.

The system can use this one behavior profile and compare it to all other behavior profiles it has recorded and put anyone with a high matching rate under active surveillance and possibly ban them.

With each new gold seller exposed the system gains more information on what is "normal player behavior" and what is not, making it better and better at filtering out anyone who seeks to exploit the system.

i have never seen a forum post asking the devs to fix the low prices of crafting materials or gear in trade when players need them. what is the price for the fear of being ganked, or time required to gather needed materials?
should i spend 30 min to find and mine a few more iron to complete my task, or should i just buy them at a low price?

It will help if players refuse to guild with gold buyers, or to party with them, or have anything to do with them.

Indeed it would - but then players just wouldnt tell their guild they bought gold.

they're usually addressed with a credit card or payment methods

Freeholds might be a more valuable thing to buy/sell.
And IS will see that the freehold changed ownership for like 1 gold.

Players should have the choice to acquire gold, either through gold sellers or directly from Intrepid.

There seems to be an abundance of animosity among everyone, including Steven, which ruins people's perspective. There is a large inclination towards negativity and hostility around here. Why insist that everyone has to go through tedious gold farming?

Intrepid and Steven are likely to drop the ball and fail, there's too many bad vibes around

My guess is that they drop the possibility to buy freeholds for gold.

Ashes will be worst than wow in gold buying. Super competitive game when more time played means more everything.
Every hardcore guild will either bot or boy gold.
It's inevitable. Competition drives people mad.
Best comparison could be Eve Online, do people buy or bot there?

Even with gold sellers, the economy and the ability to trade items with other players will be fun, as opposed to the sterilized boring attempts to combat gold trading that we have seen in other mmos, by disabling player to player trade or solo daily/vendor/alt currencies gameplay.

The world of verra is big, a few cheaters cant change the course of pvp fights, economy manipulators can be easily detected when cheating, Intrepid aims to activelly combat gold selling.

Those who freak out about gold selling dont offer valid feedback. Ignore them

Hopefully very harshly as permanently bannable offense. I hope intrepid has a solid plan for that.
