EQ2 Plat is necessary and you have decided to farm and buy some. But where do you go? Luckily for you, this article will discuss the key traits for determining whether or not a site is a good place to buy plat for EQ2, and toss in a few examples for those of you who do not feel like hunting through the sites yourself.
Trustworthiness is the single most important factor for any online business, and plat sellers are no exception. Your safest bet is to stick with big sites that have good reputations. Other than that, other methods include getting personal recommendations, and only going to sites advertised on other trustworthy sites, since a good site will not link a bad one, usually.
Now, some sites are otherwise good but have availability issues. This is especially a problem with smaller businesses. Bigger sites will have more regular supplies, and generally will not run low, although you will not be sure until the moment you are buying your plat. Still, there are sites with almost zero problems in this area.
Another thing to consider is privacy. By which I mean how the site transfers its gold, and whether it takes steps to conceal the transaction. You can not consider a website a good place to buy plat for EQ2 if five minutes after you get your plat, a GM is chatting you up. This can be hard to judge ahead of time, though. Some sites will explain their methods on the site, which can help.
The last thing is no less important than the less, but is not as big a point of contention as you might expect: Price. Most good places to buy plat for EQ2 will have similar pricing. The absolute best deal will vary based on what server you are and whether or not any good sites are running sales. |
