Ban Account Sales

[hotstud]

Oh and it really isn't classic seeing people /auctioning accounts in EC or on server forums. It further encourages the mentality that things outside the game economy, accounts, should be bought and paid for.

Personally I'm paranoid and think some level of RMT is being encouraged here which is why the post in Server Chat linking to a project 1999 RMT website has been left alone and not edited.

"We don't allow discussion of RMT here!"

Something links to a 1999 RMT website. Nothing happens even after thread is locked.

I hate how easily account sales provide an effective and immediate fresh start for assholes with ruined reputations.

Just to bring up another point...

Allowing accounts to be sold for platinum just makes dealing with RMT much more difficult. You confirm an account was sold for real money but then the person with the account says, "Oh no sir! I just bought this accoount from someone 5 minutes ago for 100k! I don't know where it was before!" It allows a convenient cover story for why an account has changed hands 10,000 times but never for real money. *wink wink*

The dude could never sell his account at any price. I do get a chuckle knowing that people would buy an account in a 10 year old fucking game though. makes you wonder how retarded some peeps can be. yeah lets purchase a fucking power-leveled character with no skills, fucking brilliant.

Well as a person that has bought two accounts, one with platinum, one with an item, I can say that even for a person with alot of time on thier hands...it still takes ALOT of time to level a character from scratch from lvl 1. Youd probably end up spending more plat on the iron rations you consume to 60 than just paying 200k for a lvl 60 or whatever. Its not fair to the people who have made alot of cash playing thier mains to have to level up another character, taking time away from thier main. Its allmost like you're saying just ban alcohol completely because theres people out there that cant use it right.
