Selling a warcraft 3 account on ebay?

[punwisp]

I talked to a guy I 'knew" but apparantly it wasn't him, the guy said he bought the account off of ebay... For 40 cents...

Yes I know its 40 cents but look...

Takes 10 seconds to make a FREE account
stats mean diddly shit, just means you play melee a lot
its dumb for selling one
its dumb for buying one.


In my opinion, if a person sells a warcraft 3 account on ebay, they are just stupid and bored, if you buy the account, there just dumbasses lol.

He said "Figured the account would have good stats" Unless your a hardcore melee guy, no one looks at them xD, even then its worthless!

I still think he was lying to me and he prob is, thought this is funny to bring up! =P
Thoughts?

I'd pay 40 cents for an icon...

My friend Devan uses loss hacks and a system where he sets up somewhere from 100 to 125ish bots. He has them all enter Ladder at once under the same settings and tells them all to lose except for one. So basically, he gets insta-wins on an account with very minimal losses.

He has accounts that are like 3649-6, 3042-9, and one that's 5939-15.

He then sells them on ebay for 40-80$ usually.

Talk about easy money >>

Why the hell would you sell warcraft 3 accounts... When the stats only mean you get different Icons, its a waste of money...

 

[En_Fuego]

Correction: Buying them is a waste of money.

To show off your skills?

Why loot anything at WoW then? Not very much the same principle but the same idea.,..

How much would you buy from this account:

Double 1500 random icon, both over 70%

When I was still active in battle.net some years ago, many wanted to buy it. Highest bid was 500$ if I remember right...

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Trust me, those who sell accounts aren't fools. They are the fishermen. The fish is those who buy accounts, now they are the fools. And playing for icons, not to say buying an acc for icons is incredibly dumb, you really have to be a total air head...

As for buyindg acc for stats what's the point in having sum1 1500:10 when you ask him let's 1vs1 he is a total noob or doesn't wanna play? Lol...

 

[brad.dude03]

He's right. The sellers are the smart ones, because they know there are people out there dumb enough to actually buy them.

 

[Gilles]

I'd buy a cool icon for 40 cents. I got a whole jar of change I don't need.

Edit: Wait... no I wouldn't, because it requires too much work to go through the exchange process.

 

[brad.dude03]

And it would be a big waste of 40 cents

 

[Linaze]

No point in flashing around with 1500 win faces any longer imo, they were cool back in '05 five or so. Nowadays, not many people care that much as before.

 

[brad.dude03]

Does anyone even play melee anymore?

 

[Linaze]

Exactly my point.
[carepolice]Well, my brother does... but that's the only person I know that does...[/carepolice]

 

[brad.dude03]

I don't really know anyone that actually seriously plays ladder any more. I mean I'm sure there are the die-hards out there, just like Starcraft, but come on, Blizzard stopped caring and so should you.

 

[HappyTauren]

Even professional leagues are DotA leagues, melee is dead.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, DotA is sadly all that's really left for organized professional play.

 

[3rgytr54]

Buy is pretty dumb.. But yea I play melee when ever I feel that there is a good crowd -- I'd play it over a custom map any day

 

[brad.dude03]

I think you get jerks in both, no matter where you play actually. In the dota leagues, in melee, in custom games, you can't avoid them.

 

[HappyTauren]

Indeed. Also, in all games. Be it wh40000, heroes, wc3, sc, diablo, half life or wow.

And, lets not forget, in real life too.

Actually, I think it's still going in Korea, I remember reading that there's a channel dedicated to Warcraft 3 pro games on cable/satellite , or maybe it was just video games in general but competitive Warcraft 3 is still going strong in Korea I believe.

There's two channels dedicated to Starcraft in Korea also I believe.

Lim Yo-Hwan(AKA Boxer on Starcraft)

Lim had an impressive record with 500 wins and 336 losses in his professional career. His success has brought him not only legions of fans, but also tremendous wealth. He is the highest-paid professional gamer in world history, with annual earnings that exceed $300,000 US Dollars and endorsement contracts that bring in an additional $90,000 per year; most video game company executives earn less money than Lim Yo-Hwan. In 2004 he was voted the greatest gamer of all time by readers of ESReality, one of the most popular Western electronic sports websites, and in June 2006 he was included in an MTV list of "The 10 Most Influential Video Gamers Of All Time."[1]

If you want to see Starcraft matches, click. Personally, I find it enjoyable to watch. Too bad there's rarely any Korean WC3 matches on youtube.

The micro of the Korean players are impressive, they do so many things at once that I can't even keep up, can't figure out what they're even doing(the videos show the "first person view" of the players' games sometimes).

 

[punwisp]

500-336? umm... Yea that isn't that great of a record.. And he makes more then the average person... LOL!!! Koreans...

 

[brad.dude03]

Yeah, logic dictates that they're crazy but somehow they keep surviving.

 

[Campir]

500-336? umm... Yea that isn't that great of a record.. And he makes more then the average person... LOL!!! Koreans...

500-336 is probably a record from some professional SC league not just plain ladder.

Lol a korean that makes more then the average person... I'll believe it when I see it.

Yes. Because you can make simultaneous actions on battlenet without getting DC'd.

 

[En_Fuego]

He runs them on a hacked version of Warcraft III that allows you to open it more than once. Because his IP changes every 5 minutes it doesn't disconnect him. He also runs it through like, 7 different computers. Each using a different router.

I don't remember any of his really uber accounts, but I'll ask him for a list of the one's he's selling.

 

[Ash]

Cool, it'll be interesting to take a look at

 

[En_Fuego]

If you have AIM you can reach him at Devanoates. He's not on at the moment but I'm going to bed soon.
