Selling accounts should not be allowed. Plat or cash.
 
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.

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?

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.

better a fag than a murderer!

ryuut1 10-10-2010 09:33 AM

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.

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. :(
