Buying gold from 3rd parties is not cheating. The purchase still goes through EA, but it’s cheaper in other countries due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Btw, would it be fair if people obtained gold by buying it from the ppl on FB who sell you tons of gold for a fraction of the price? Because, you know, f*ck EA. IMO, buying gold from a third party is the same as using GG app in H2H mode cos both are not supported by the standard UFC mobile game. Some people use GG app and some buy gold from 3rd party. Since they are both 3rd party, I consider both to be cheating and gaining unfair advantage over players who don't use GG app or buy gold from 3rd party.

But the people who say that using GG app is cheating but buying gold from 3rd party is not, are bunch of hypocrites. What's worse is that even the wiki community supports the same belief. Last H2H season, there was a huge debate whether using GG app is cheating or not. The wiki community stand was since the GG app was not developed by EA so they can't support the usage of GG app but I saw on a different thread that the same community members were guiding new players, who were willing to spend money, on how to buy gold from 3rd party on FB, giving them links, name of seller and the rates at which he sells gold. If using GG app is illegal cos it wasn't developed by EA, then buying gold from 3rd party was also not intended by EA, hence both should be considered illegal and cheating. If you want to buy gold, buy it from store.

People consider GG app as cheating cos it gives some other players advantage in H2H but not buying gold from 3rd party cos it gives THEM an unfair advantage in H2H cos the reason we buy fighters is to use them in H2H.

I'm not advocating for GG app and neither do I use it. I'm just saying that if using GG app is considered cheating then buying gold from 3rd party should also be considered cheating. We shouldn't label one as cheating cos it helps another player and one as not cheating cos it helps us. I mean how hard is it to play this game normally, like the way it was designed to be played.

My point is that this community should choose a side that if they want to support 3rd party resources or not. Don't sail on two boats and say GG is cheating but buying gold from 3rd party is not cos it suits your convenience.

I'm sorry if I offended anybody. I just wrote what I felt like. If the admin doesn't like this post, he can delete it.
