Gold seller or bill payer?
So a while back I was reading one of my favorite bloggers and happened to see she has a WoW gold seller ad on her blog. I made a comment and tweeted about it. I probably would have not thought twice about it but in the recent past the guild she use to be part of had their guild bank hacked along with a couple officers accounts. Now I don’t know if the service shes advertising is the ones that hacked the guild but I would be very suspect of anybody providing that kind of service.
Now after I commented and what not I was basically told to fuck off.

She was approached a while back and they offered a nice little chunk of money to advertise on her blog. Which is ok I guess. Well to me its not OK. One of her “best” friends use to run the biggest hunter blog and web service around. He helped her get setup within the guild she was part of. To me that is why the gold sellers targeted her. Its called selective marketing. Knowing the hunter blogger would link to her site from time to time it was genius offering her some money for a add spot.
This has been bothering me for since it happened. I dunno maybe since she has a following and I found her site from BRK and Im sure others did also. That is why it is bothering me. Or maybe its the smug of just read the site through a reader and you wont see it comment..I prefer to view my favorite blogs the way they are created. I mean why goto the trouble of installing a skin and such if you would rather people read through a reader?
As of ten minutes before I started writing this the ad is still posted. Its just a two line add but it still promotes gold selling and account selling. Which IMO is lame and irresponsible on her part. Thats just my opinion and nothing more. But if you agree with me please email her through the contact me link on her site.

FWIW, I agree with you. If you devote that much time to the game, it should matter to you that other people are cheating. To not be bothered by that – or arguably worse, to be bothered but willing to sell out your ethics – displays poor character. Ethics may not mean much to many people these days, but they still matter to me.
