World of Warcraft Gold Making Scams Revealed

Wouldn't be nice to be able to log on to see you have just THOUSANDS of gold in your bags. Knowing that you can buy virtually anything in the AH, keeping up with the latest equipment, while your friends drool. I would! I'm tired of watching all my buddy brag about the latest pair of blue swords for their rogue or worse, not being able to get my epic mount. God that sucks!  I would much rather be out playing in Azeroth somewhere instead of glued to my screen with my mule, juggling the AH.

 You've seen them on blogs, message boards, and people selling ebooks about it. They all say the same thing - "...How to make a billions of gold using my guide". Ya right! I can tell you right now, that 99% of these people and their guides are frauds.You may have fallen prey to these "...make a million gold" ebooks and guides.  Me too!  I've bought so many of these so called guides that I can't even recall how many. I don't know why. I tend to think that these guys know what they're talking about, and I was sold by these marketing schemes time and time again, even after being burnt by another!!  Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with the gold making guides, and
nd out if there really were any LEGITIMATE guides out there for making gold.

I literally contacted the author of every gold making guide I could
nd. Posing as a reviewer (which I am), I managed to convince the authors that I was seriously interested in purchasing their guide(s). But first I wanted to contact some of the people they listed on their site as "Satisfied Customers", and as well as get a small portion of the guide itself to test it for review, and to make sure that those people are REALLY satisfied. This was tricky because it took some time to get replies back (if at all). However, some ACTUALLY gave me a full copy in hopes that with my knowledge of the "competitors" guides, I could trade them ideas.  Well, I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. First off, once it was established I wasn't some scammer, none of the "Satisfied Customers" letters were legit. Not surprising since this was an old ploy used by many website advertisers. However, there were quite a few that WERE legit, but they were old letters. Some were sent in prior BC! I managed to get a reply back from two dozen of the 96 emails (not counting fake and no longer existing emails).  Many of the authors of the guide I spoke too (lots were just 16yrs old to 19yrs old)  actually boasted about how many people they could get to buy their useless guides. I repeatedly found:

•  Guides that have not been updated since Burning Crusade (i.e. Burning Crusade is not even covered in the guides)
• The links to their support site and other graphics or video links have either errors, or produce a 404 error.
• Some go as far as to boldly make you click on another link for the REAL secret, which in some of the guides, cost more money!
• no real email support - and the ones that do, can only vaguely answer you, usually with responses like "... really? thats never happened to me. check the forums to see if anyone else ran into that"

I quickly realized that these so-called Gold Making Guides were totally useless. And the authors knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn’t respond when authors would ask, how was it, or the ones who let me use half the guide and wanted to know if I would like to purchase the other half.  Even when they emailed me asking how is the review coming along, did I not give them the satisfaction of a response.  Surprisingly, while sifting through all of the scam guides, I was actually able to locate a couple of individuals that actually had legitimate guides.

The authors were every day people like you and me that found a way to make extra gold easily and without some strange grinding method or scamming players with dumb tricks (these methods were used heavily in a lot of guides I read). The guides were impressive and well written (not some lame pdf file that the kids wrote with), with a good amount of quality information on how to crank out a few 1,000gp while still maintaing  an enjoyable gaming enviroment. I even chatted with a few of their customers (wouldn't you know, all the emails were legit, so I only had to read about a dozen) through emails, and they veri
ed that they were making a large sum of gold, just like the guides said and some even went so far as to say that the authors were under cutting themselves because with those techniques, some were making incredible amounts. It was like I found a few diamonds in the rough. There was one in particular that REALLY stood out. I put the link below . See what you think.

They are legitimate authors, and professional, and answer your emails in a timely manner,  which is to be expected for any legitimate authors who are dedicated to helping you make gold (or level if you have a leveling guide).  Very Friendly! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in the guide, I put a link to it at the bottom.

Well, my search for legitimate Gold Making Guide has come to an end. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not take chances buying ANY of the guides, other than maybe the one listed below! Whatever you do, happy leveling, and good luck with the Lich King. O and watch out for gnome - sneaky bast**ds
