Selling accounts should not be allowed. Plat or cash.

[oldhead]

This is why account transfers should not be allowed. Not even for in game money. Just cus its not happening on this forum, it happens on others. IMHO all outside of game deals should be discouraged and mentioned as punishable in the rules. Even tho I use it im against the forums having a trading subforum. Defeats the purpose of EC tunnel.

Anyways, below is a snippet of a convo from another forum in a thread about this server.


Anyone have an account they want to trade for 40 Wiz?

or selling an account?


Selling o.O

$$$ ?

wait so like my 50 war account is worth cash money to someone

to me yes.

but you can't really post it on the p99 forums...

I agree with you, that it shouldn't be a promoted practice. However at the same time making a ruling on it here wont change that it happens elsewhere. Only thing it changes is how open people are about it.

True BUT...
making a rule that people shouldnt murder wont stop people from doing it... but isnt it a good idea to have a rule stating if you murder and get caught you will be punished?

[kinztz]

I suppose, however comparing account trading/selling to murder is a pretty steep jump.

Sometimes one must enlarge a comparison to make the details easier to discern for others.

I dont get it. The only people that buy accounts are the people who are lazy and suck at the game. I guess if you can sell it, good for you, but if you buy it, your a fag.

[Bubbles]

better a fag than a murderer!

[ryuut1]

rofl, murder compared to selling accounts =P

The vets and people who actually believe in this project in most cases would not accept RMT for items or accounts. I know I wouldn't, but I also do not see the harm in trading accounts or selling them for platinum. The market is there, the GM's allow it, I don't see the problem. There will always be people desperate or lazy enough to pay cash for game accounts because they don't feel like leveling them. That's fine but they won't get one from me. Not to mention, even though it's been up and running for a year, in the end this *STILL* is an Emu server. People who would pay cold hard cash for a character on an emulated server...lol @ you.

[XDrake]

I don't know how I feel about the whole RMT or PP trading of accounts, but it is a fact that if you do eBay you're a fag. :(

[vincin]

anyone who buys a characters is a lazy fag. period. ...and possibly a fat piece of shit.

Spend 15 hours boring PL'in grinding a character to 50.
Or
Spend $100 bucks.



Not that am an advocate for it but I understand the reasons for it.

just saying it shouldnt be allowed for plat or even on the boards.
All trades should be kept in game.

[AexDestroy]

Complaining like your opinion matters should not be allowed. Rant or Flame.

15 hours? Wheres your secret location? :) took me over 15 hours to get mid 30s hah

Just wondering how raiding guilds feel about spending countless hours in the planes and on dragon raids, gearing up members and then seeing them sell their planar-equipped chars "for plat". Gotta love competing for gear with people who are just gonna sell their toon "for plat". :P
