Yea but your lucky if some1 gives you their weapon to put an astral on it..

The way I see it, your selling a product, they can't buy cause they can't pay for astral, your paying real life money for the silk and then your getting money from it, in a sence it's buying gold but joymax gets profit from it and so do you in game. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think people hate gold buyers because they are supporting gold botters..

This is different from buying gold, completely. And I think it's legal if the person who sells is really selling, not a scammer or such.

Why am I saying this ? Because it profits Joymax, you buy more silk, ain't it ? If you purchase ingame gold with real money, it hurts Joymax. So it became illegal. The big difference is there. And since you can't CCF now. =)

I say go for it.

lol I don't call this gold buying, it's like selling any other stone, except it cost the person selling it real life, it's no different, if your accused for buying gold cause your selling a silk stone, you might as well be accused for selling other stones, cause theres really no difference.

Yeah I guess there's nothing wrong with selling Astral, as long as you're not using the sale to try and scam someone. It's the buyer that has to be careful, but that can be said for any kind of sale.

I won't buy astral from anyone, except perhaps a close friend I've known for a while, but then I don't have any of those in SRO that buy silk themselves. I think some of my guild mates might possibly sell some to me, but I simply wouldn't feel right asking someone else to use their own real cash just to make my weapon better.

if it were me, i'd be VERY picky about who i sold astrals to. remember, if you sell an astral to a high lvl botted asshat, andhe later pwns you with his shiny new +9 or some such, you have no one to blame but yourself ;)

as long as your astral aren t ccfed, putting astral&imortals on gears is legit. no matter if gears are yours or not.

that would be pretty cheap for 7th degree =]

on topic: yeah it's fine as long as you don't go running off with people's weapons i suppose.

I would say go for it. I was thinking of doing this myself but it gets kinda pricey when its close to $5 per 8d stone. Does that mean you would charge 5mil? I see nothing wrong with it.

Buying astrals with gold certainly isn't in the league of buying gold..
SG, if someone bots they can afford to buy astrals for themself .. unless they're broke of course....

also....Everyone deserves a fair chance at a +9 don't they?

In a way it is, but the end result is different. You're still paying real cash to get in-game gold, but the cash is going to Joymax instead of going to the gold seller. Seems like a more legit way to buy gold.

Funny thing is, people would use the price set buy gold sellers to determine the price of astrals in gold. We're still prisoners to the gold sellers.
