The version of the gold 'hack' I'm aware of is having someone log in based on a country where gold is cheaper. i.e. 100 coins = $1 in the US and buy in their currency where it's much much cheaper. If this is case, half the blame lies on EA for charging different amounts for the same thing and opening themselves up for this kind of arbitrage. Admittedly, lowering US prices or raising developing countries prices would both have a negitive effect. Hardcoding the originating country when a user sets up a profile wouldn't work either since you could base your account in Thailand and lock in the lower priced gold. Not sure how they can address this... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
