Woah calm down dude, I was confused at first when I read it too but it does seem like per million based on how much you buy. Doesn't mean that u have to jump on the guy :/
An alleged Chinese gold farmer has come forward to talk with Markee Dragon, a video game enthusiast who has been investigating the mass amount of Diablo III account infiltration claims. Turns out, a lot of accounts that have been farmed were due to using the same username/passwords in forums and fansites, and this particular gold farmer is making 4 million gold an hour off these compromised accounts.
In a lengthy but tediously slow interview on YouTube with Markeed Dragon, the anonymous gold farmer masks his voice and identity to answer a number of questions regarding farming accounts in Diablo III. A lot of what he says makes sense, and anyone who used the same username/e-mail/password on a forum, fansite or any other internet hub was basically prime bait for the gold farmers. When asked if account information was retrieved from Blizzard's forums, Mr. Gold says "they're bulletproof." That statement probably makes Blizzard fanboys blush where the sun don't shine.
Take note that the gold farmer does not deny other means of infiltration, simply that it's not a direct breach on Blizzard's end. He simply notifies viewers that from his end they do things as easily and simple as possible to make as much money as possible.
Mr. Gold also says some other interesting things, such as selling account information to the Russian Mafia; testing usernames and passwords against PayPal accounts, banking information, checking, and other financial information. Ultimately, if your account has been compromised in Diablo III please change your login details immediately for every single other website you visit, right now.
Mr. Gold also points out that there are other hackers, farmers, botters and spammers he wants Blizzard to get rid of. They're cramping his style, apparently. He wants Blizzard to update Warden to weed out the small-time bots and gold farmers who are eating into his profits. He's assured that his methods are mostly undetectable for the next couple of months, but by then they will already have enough gold to make millions in real-life money.
I found it amazing that he admits to being on pretty much 24/7 and when Dragon asks if Blizzard bans or investigates the account(s) for suspicious activity he says "No". Baffling. You would think Blizzard would at least monitor an account that stays in the hub all day while other accounts come and go, dumping money and goods into the vendor.
Also, be very, very, very wary of the Real-Money Auction House. All of the account infiltrations are allegedly being stored for the Real-Money Auction House. Mr. Gold wants to make sure that his gold farming institution has a monopoly on Legendary item drops, so that's another reason he wants Blizzard to update Warden so that they can maintain a steady stream on both selling gold and manipulating commerce for the RMAH. I think the golden nugget of the interview was when Mr. Gold says from their gold farming "Blizzard makes money, too". It's true, they will, since they get a 15% cut of all virtual good transactions that are changed into real-money transactions.
Anyways, if you want to check out the interview head on over to Markee Dragon's YouTube. How truthful or real is the information Mr. Gold provided? Who knows. Could it just be some guy pretending to be a gold farmer to boost hits? Yeah sure could be. I'm sure fanboys will say that the video wasn't proof enough, but then what is? Anyways, it's a good enough explanation on some of what's been happening.
The shocking part to me is that Blizzard doesn't have it setup where accounts automatically ask for a third-tier account confirmation when logging in from a new IP address, whether you have an authenticator or not. I mean, some guy who logs in from New York who mystically logs out and then re-logs in from Jingsu, China should instantly raise red flags.
Realistically, an authenticator shouldn't even matter because Blizzard knows other people's real-life money will be on the line with the RMAH. Security should have been the number one priority.
As mentioned, consumers have no idea when or if they've been compromised. The information in the video is somewhat scary because that's even worse than the session spoofing claims. In fact, it basically means that if you've used the same login information ANYWHERE you're already at risk of being compromised.
Hopefully Blizzard takes the necessary steps to secure Diablo III so players can at least enjoy a game they paid $60 for without looking over their shoulders and being paranoid. Whether you have an authenticator or not, Blizzard should have made it mandatory in the boxed editions and should make a free version available online for people who don't have smartphones. It's never the consumer's fault for lacking the proper information to be risk-averse. Blizzard should have made it known, especially when they admitted that it wasn't uncommon for popular new games to have such high amount of "hacking" claims.
And just for good measure, a lot of this would have easily been avoided for people who just wanted to play Diablo III offline.
(Update: Just like to point out that LinkedIn was recently hacked and many usernames and passwords were lifted. If you use LinkedIn and play Diablo III or other high-profile gold-farming targets, be sure to change your password ASAP
Whoa did someone get pwned in Inferno one too many times this afternoon? Chill out lol read the original post and you'll notice it doesn't specify the exact amount anywhere so I was just asking for clarification.

Haha nono I wasn't saying that I don't believe you I was just curious as to HOW you got it, and if you did manage to farm all that through legit methods then props to you! Although this does make me want to quit this game ... and ... umm... you should get out more
demonbudy, d3advanced, wardens not even working properly right now many bots out there hence huge inflation and value of gold will go down when RMAH comes out unless blizz does a huge banning wave, then it will go reaaal high
Getting to the state in the game where all you do is farm, repeat, rinse, repeat, farm over and over again for hours on end doing the same shit... it's not even fun anymore lol at this point it's more like a low-paying office JOB stuck in an office chair grinding all day then a computer game that's for entertainment!
I promised myself I would not spend a single extra dollar on this game to buy equipment. If it got to that stage where I would have to pay other users to have "fun" in a video game, I'd rather just quit this game and find another game to play.
I hear Battlefield 3 is half price now ... and Assassin's Creed 3 is coming out in a few months ...
The way I see it, it's $60 to start up another brand new game and experience new things OR $60+ to buy a near perfect piece of armour for your hero in a current game that you ALREADY spent $60 on ... well that's my personal thoughts ...
I already got to Level 60 with my Monk, cleared Act 1 Inferno but it's just not that fun anymore. Started up another hero playing Demon Hunter, learning all it's new skillsets and abilities and getting the Achievements in-game is more satisfying to me than running the same quest over and over again to get good items with my Monk.
I think introducing RMAH into D3 is a big mistake on Blizzards part... I get it they want to milk this game for all it's worth with the 15% transaction fee, but then now it gives all the superhackers of the world more incentive to start hacking in and stealing user accounts and finding all these Gold-making loopholes in hopes of selling this for real money in the future. (Not directed at you PornMaster haha see you at EDC!)
Hence all these issues with people getting their accounts hacked and all their stuff cleared out... I heard it's a PITA to get a rollback too, if get hacked and they roll me back to a level 20 Monk or some bs then I'm gonna quit this game lol ...

I was laughing as I typed that. Sometimes i forget sarcasm doesn't translate well through monitors.

My friend had his monk hacked. Took 3 days and he got rolled back from lvl 59 to 58, it depends when they last backed it up.

I hate to be a party pooper, but even though we let it go on for a few pages, we'll have to ban the advertisement of gold for $ (personal profit). No more gold FS posts please.
Thanks.
