Its in spanish, heres the article translated
Translated:
"Quoting some things of the article, apartently she did this so she could buy the new epic flying mount of the expansion Burning Crusade (which is around 5000 gold worth). She published a message on internet (the article doesn't mention where). This is where she explained all the conditions for this trade: one night of sex in exchange for WoW gold. The girl finally acepted one guy and after sex he gave her the money.

In the game she was a level 70 (max. level) female night elf. About the mounts, the only difference between a normal one and an epic one is the speed at which they fly.

As a personal note, I can not believe that people reaches these levels of insanity to buy an in-game mount "

Heres a physical evidence of her offer to have sex and replies:

I don't really see it as prostitution since nothing of material value actually exchanged hands. It's freaking gold in an online game. Might give her a loose reputation, but prostitution? No.

 

[Godwynn]

That'll be the only time that guy gets any.

Well if you click on the second link apparently they're deciding to date on a regular basis....

EDIT:666 post by me

Ha, I figure...

Gold sells at about $8 per 100. So 5000 gold is worth about $400 - not a bad payoff for a nappy headed ho

Hahahahahahah!

I wonder if the dude who "mounted" (da dum ch) her will stick to gaming after experiencing sex for teh first time.

Well, it's something that has a value to her which certainly isn't sentimental; I mean, she's selling herself for an agreed-upon price. Wouldn't that be prostitution, if not necessarily in a legal sense?

No theyre seing each other again as evidenced by the second link

That's funny. But oh well, her body, her choice

When we leave our high morals at the door, I wonder if one can admire her for her ingenuity? She offered a service, and took advantage of a sucker to give her something she wanted. She also got what she wanted without "buying gold" (which is a ban-able offense in WoW, I think? ) Wouldn't that be considered business entrepreneurship? I don't blame her, spending hours upon hours to get a pixel horsey is hardly worth it, in my opinion. People do have jobs, don't ya know.

So I honestly honestly wouldn't be surprised if that's not the last we'll hear about this. I wonder what WoW will do about it? promotion of prostitution = fines! She'll get banned in a week.

Yeah, in the moral sense I suppose, but I was thinking more along legal lines.

I don't think it's particularly ingenious. People have been (admittedly, more informally) selling themselves for some sort of gain since time immemorial. This has to be one of the funnier instances of the phenomenon, though.

 

[QuoVadisNation]

Simply ingenious in regards to the methods of avoiding to play fair on WoW, I mean.

 

[emzie]

She is my hero.

 

[amadeus]

She'd get, at the most, 3 gold from me. Maybe two.

(This is only of course I was one of those WOW people that compulsively desires virtual objects.)

 

[CaptainF]

I'ma laugh even harder if they end up getting married because of this.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

And once again I shake my head in disbelief at just how stupid humans can be.

 

[Babbler]

I call that man a high-five, if it weren't covered in grease.

 

[Nobody]

The worst part of this... is she is a druid!! She gets a Free Flight form at level 58 !!! this epic flight form dosent add anything for her!!!

 

[Tykinruoka]

Well, after seeing her reply(in the jpg) to all the people who have posted threads about this incident, I see nothing wrong with it. If she's happy then what do we care? This only proves that internet is full of people who immediately post and spread this kind of incidents around, so they can shout in a choir: Man, that's sick! what a loser.." etc.
