Idiot Blows £5,000 On World Of Warcraft Character

[MrJayPlays]

Yep, the madness is spreading. Some guy has just spent almost £5,000 to buy a souped up character off another player in the online roleplaying phenomenon, World of Warcraft.

The character, a rogue, came wielding the much prized Twin Blades of Azzinoth [above], which drop off big baddie Illidan Stormrage from the The Black Temple. As if you didn’t know.

The character also came with four out of five pieces of a Tier 6 armor set, as well as lots of other goodies. The unhinged buyer’s in-game name is Shaks but there may be a problem getting to play with his sharp new toys.

Selling anything from the game-world in the real world for real cash is frowned on by game-maker Blizzard and, rumour has it, his account has already been banned. Wow, £5,000 down and no one to kill.-Martin Lynch

Man whats going on here..Hope our DESOLATOR is saved from all this thing

abay source to do
i think its very old

since Glaives of Azzinoth were part of The Burning Crusade when characters were level 70
not in lich king max level iz 80 rendering all level 70 Epic and Legendary Items like these glaives useless

he wont kill anyone with them ^_^

Atm a level 80 warcraft character with decent gear sells for about $150 to upto $500 depending on the gear.

That imo is a fair price considering the cost of the game + the time spent lvling / aquiring gear.

5000 is just ridiculous though.
