Account Selling

[username17]

I agree, we should end it but not right now.

I'm nowhere near end game, but it seems that a lot of the level 50s don't have anything to do.
If we stopped account selling now I doubt it would actually stop because it gives 50s something to do.

I say keep it going until Kunark hits.
It will die down then and take that reduced volume and decrease it to 0 by banning it.

Thoughts?

Seems reasonable enough. At this point, anyone who buys a character has already done most of what there is to do. You don't get level 20s buying a level 50. That'll change once Kunark hits and people will be able to buy characters without actually having been part of the gamepaly scene themselves first, so the change would make a tangible difference rather than now where the people who buy characters would probably not just be grouping with folks and being jolly good chaps if they didn't have the option.

The amount of douchiness surrounding mmorpg's simply sucks. Just play the fucking game, quit trying to become the next Gordon Gekko of the batwing market.

Kunark wont make it harder to get to 50, it will make it easier, and the problem will be worst.
It will be worst because as you are trying to get your kunark gear, or exp your your main, plers will be occupying the camps and making it suck just like they are now. the difference will be that they will make it faster to 50 because there will be more hunting areas for those levels. then we will all bottleneck in seb...

besides, the whole debate is moot. it's not classic.

The thing is its not like all of the level 50's are making these characters to sell. Most people get 50 and explore content, farm plat by actually playing their level 50 char, helping out their guild, or if they make another character they level it themselves to actually play.

There are a few people who are flooding the game with these level 50s they make in a weekend by boxing or power leveling and playing 24/7.

There is 1% of the population hurting the economy and lower level dungeons for everyone. Not only that but a lot of the account sales receive real life money bids and are a risk to p1999 getting in trouble and shut down.

Its a liability to the server and the majority of the population, the people you actually want in the community, would all benefit from it being illegal. The only ones that it will effect in a negative way are the 1% that are so addicted they will be here either way. Hopefully they will just find something else to do that isn't so annoying to the rest of the community.

Is it completely destroying the game - heck no this server is still awesome, but there would be no real loss in making it a bannable offense tomorrow.
