If my friends and I pooled our gold for a screenshot/video, we'd be up near a billion gold too... Can't know it's all his from a 20 second hand camera.

And its also basic programming to find ways to remove the cap of such things. For example: he could use a unsigned 64Bit Integer instead of 32 Bit. That would mean everyone is be able to earn 18.446.744.073.709.551.615 Gold before reaching the cap! Could take a while, to reach this cap! Even for a korean...
They would most likely have forced a cap just so the digits don't go off the screen. It doesn't seem as though 12 digits (trillions) can be fit onto the display with the current font used for gold.
I'm actually quite amazed that the cap is even higher than 1.4B. I mean, I expected it to cap somewhere in the hundred millions.
Why would you except a cap? Just because there was in D2 where gold was nearly useless?
Because it's basic programming that every value has a pre-defined cap.

Blizzard did not want to take that approach to solving the problem of many players getting stuck at the WoW gold cap, so I doubt they'd use unsigned integers here either.

So there is still a cap.
Yes, a high one, but that was exactly the point of the poster you tried to disprove.
I'm not really sure why people assume this is fake, cheated, or botted though. These numbers aren't even that unreasonable. All it'd take are a handful of really good items. I knew someone buying a full set of barb gear for 1 billion 5 days ago.
It was a gold and item dupe, hence why they rerolled asia servers back 2 days;
AFAIK the gold dupe was completely fake and with the item dupe the items disappeared upon logging out so the most you could do was vendor them. Would take an awful lot of vendoring to get a billion gold. =)
oh come on maybe they just open program like cheat-engine and edit the gold value
Blizz games won't run with Cheat Engine open.
Again, though, It's only 1B gold. It's really not as big of deal as people are making it out to be. I've seen single items sell for hundreds of millions of gold. We're not talking unreasonable amounts, just uncommon amounts.
How does this affect you?
If he has 1 billion or 2 billion?
If he spends his money on the market the prices will go up, so yeah it clearly affects me if I want to buy some really nice expensive gear.
Ignoring for a second that this is on the Asian market, Do you think 1 billion gold means anything on a moving market with hundreds of thousands of millions and millions of gold trades going in and out?
He is probably poor compared to other asain farmers.
Hell... he's probably poor compared to some of the american bots that blizzard still haven't addressed.
(It's funny watching white and other random low lvl items with a buyout of 1mil, disappear before the time runs out...)

I have no idea why, but they haven't done it.
