Investigation: Where is the Best Runescape Gold Site?

Today, I will compare Runescape Gold Websites, and determine who deserves the title of the Best Runescape Gold Site.  I will use several criteria to investigate:

- Price
- Customer Service
- Stock of Gold
- Safety

I will review the following Runescape Gold Sites, and investigate each attribute mentioned above:

- R2Pleasent.com
- Gold4RS
- USFine
- RS2Happy

Price of 20M Runescape Gold:

- R2Pleasent.com: $20.00 USD
- Gold4RS: $29.32 USD
- USFine: $29.16
- RS2Happy: $25.26 USD

Customer Service

- R2Pleasent.com: 

Based in Canada, all operators are fluent in English.  Live Chat online over 20 hours per day.  Hands down, the most helpful staff on any Runescape Gold website.  R2Pleasent himself has been selling Runescape Gold since 2007, and is widely regarded as the most trusted Runescape Gold Seller out there.  Has the most active and popular GP thread on Sythe.org, with over 5000 replies since 2010.

Reference: Sythe.org

- Gold4RS

Based in China.  Most operators do not speak fluent English.  Former employees of the company have lashed out and claimed that they do not care about customer satisfaction after an order has been paid.  Their primary goal is to complete the transaction, instead of provide a solid overall experience for the customer.

Quote from a former Gold4RS Worker:

" gold4rs is notorious valued by tons of people, in fact, this is the case, according to david said, gold4rs only care about the order, ignoring the customer experience, so this is why many Customers got ignored treatment when you have problems of account ban, items lost, account recovered..."

Reference: Sythe.org



- USFine

Based in China.  Operators are slightly more adept at communicating with customers.  Several Live Chat operators, however, still do not speak English.  This can be very frustrating.

- RS2Happy

Based in China.  Operators are extremely difficult to understand.  Not much further information.

Stock of Gold:

All websites seem to have sufficient stock of Runescape Gold at this time.

Safety:

R2Pleasent.com - All trades are done from North America.  No Chinese IP's.  Gold is purchased / obtained by R2Pleasent himself.  Company uses real characters (80+ Combat) to conduct trades, which is much safer.  A grand total of ZERO bans since February 1st.  Quite possibly the safest place to buy from, ANYWHERE.

Gold4RS - Known for their lack of safety.  All trades done on Chinese IP's.  Often will message customers in-game (very unprofessional).  Most delivery characters are level 3, and newly created.  Gold4RS also has been providing Gold-Farming, which is 100% macroed.  Nearly 60% of all customers who ordered Gold-Farming were banned by Jagex, according to a former employee

"Gold farming service, as free trade way is coming, and most site take off gold farming service, but gold4rs still keep gold farming service there. and they make lower price than free trade gold, does that mean it is really cheap? The answer is no, gold4rs making by bot and macroting, and they claim munual way for gold farming is a big lie. If you 've bought gold farming service on gold4rs before, then your account probably got banned once, as 60% gold farming orders got ban on gold4rs.com. due to high risk of gold farming service, most sites remove gold farming, but gold4rs still keep it... because they don't care, they just care orders"

Reference: Sythe.org


USFine - Same as Gold4RS.  Still providing Gold-Farming, Chinese IP's, and newly created level 3 characters for delivery.  Risky.

RS2Happy - Once again, Chinese IP's, providing Gold-Farming (suicide botting), and throwaway delivery characters.

In the end, the Best Runescape Gold Site goes hands down to R2Pleasent.com.  This report has only reported facts, and all are based on actual evidence.  R2Pleasent.com has the best price, the best customer service, and is the safest website out there.  When you are Buying RS Gold, Buying Runescape Money or Items, or just looking for a solid Runescape Gold Seller, you need to come check R2Pleasent.com.

Cheap RS Gold - Why Buy From Us?

Many people have asked me why R2Pleasent Gold has been able to succeed through so many years in the Runescape Gold Market.  It's an interesting question; the majority of Runescape Gold sites fold within their first year.  How is it that one guy who created an RS Gold service is able to outlast all this competition?

Well, I think the answer to that is simple.  I am not a business owner at heart, like the other companies out there.  I am a gamer at heart.  I have played online games ever since I can remember.  It started with Diablo, then Starcraft, then Diablo II, and eventually I landed upon Runescape.  Runescape captured me because a player could do anything he wanted.  You do not need to spend your time fighting monsters or other players.  You can just hang around, level a simple skill like Magic, and just be a part of the online world.  It was less of an RPG and more of an online hangout.

Because of my love for Runescape, and simply gaming in general, I think people find my approach to be very refreshing.  Other companies out there are mostly based in Asia.  Aside from the usual issues of MAJOR communication problems, sketchy delivery and high prices, these companies really aren't involved at the root of the game.  Try and ask these people what the street value of a Party Hat is.  Ask them advice when box staking.  They will have absolutely no idea what to say.  That's because these guys aren't gamers, they are pure business.

I like to say, I came here for the game, I stayed for my business.  I would never be selling Runescape Gold if I had not searched around for a free MMORPG one day 8 odd years ago and came upon Jagex's website.  So next time your friends tell you that they buy off these Chinese Gold-Farming sites, please let them know that they are buying into the cheapening of the experience.  Tell them R2Pleasent (not to be confused with R2PleasAnt, a fake site) is where real gamers go.  Let them see how easy buying Runescape Gold can be.

To all you real gamers who I've encountered over the years, thank you.  You are the reason I am still here and strong.  You guys are what I've always been about.  So grab a 6-pack of Monster Energy, turn on the cooling fan, and let's game until the Sun shines down on our eyes.

Fake Website - R2Pleasant.com - R2PleasAnt = FAKE
