"Fun" with the Rules of Conduct
I'm gonna have some "fun" with the Rules of Conduct on this page.

Read this:
Before doeing that here is what I understand when reading "real-world cash":
 * Money in the form of notes/bills and coins, as opposed to cheques/checks or electronic transactions.

I think they should use the term "real-world money" (They use it in the Real-Money Trading Policy) or better "real-world, virtual and/or non-virtual money". Why? Because in theory you would be able to open a real-world service called "BJ for GW Gold" and not violate the EULA.

What is:


 * Virtual money
 * Credit and/or Debit Cards
 * Paypal
 * WoW gold
 * Forum gold (this is used as a currency on some forums to buy/sell in-game items)
 * etc...


 * Real-world money
 * Anything that can be used to pay for something with the same value as the desired item.
 * This includes sex, drugs, alcohol, etc... just to name a few.


 * Non-virtual money
 * Anything that can be used to pay for the desired item that is not virtual.

They should make a note saying that Virtual-money only includes everything outside of the Guild Wars game(s) and/or Guild Wars expansion(s).

The "fun" starts here:
'''1. While playing Guild Wars, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. You will not report players maliciously, or cause them to be investigated without reason.'''


 * Don't leave a party, it might cause distress.
 * Don't follow anyone, it might cause distress, they might feel harassed and/or threathened.
 * Do not play PvP, if you do don't hurt and/or kill someone, it might cause distress or someone might feel threatened.

2. You may not post or communicate any player's real world information (name, address, account name, etc.) through the Guild Wars game or on the official Guild Wars website.
