Time to End Account Buying/Selling?

[veejur]

It's about having a level playing field. If you can't camp epic pieces because a farmer is always there that isn't getting it because he needs it, but just to make money, that is not a level playing field. If mid class characters are passed on in groups because there are already 5 other twinks on the list at a camp that bought their gear with RMT purchases, that is not a leveling playing field.

MQ and account trades really are a problem for new players. I personally could care less what players who have reached 60, exploited bugs in the early patches of the server, and monopolize camps have to say about it. That's just like asking politicians whether they should be held accountable for getting free health care etc. Of course they are not going to want to lose an unfair advantage.

Banning Account selling is not going to stop RMT. Heck a CoF even a Fungi cost more than a lot of accounts sell for. So you would have to stop buying and selling period. Ain't going to happen. But I can see both sides of this argument.

The only down side to account selling I have seen is grouping with a level 60 that has NO clue how to play the toon in a group. And if it is the puller Oh Boy. [You must be logged in to view images.

...Grouping what at 60? fungus is a 2 man camp, HS south is a 2 man camp, drusella is a 2 man kill, ragefire is a 2 man kill, crypt (JBB / Hiero) can be done by an enterprising shaman or a 2 man camp. You don't group shit at 60 :P Just hope you made one of the right classes for money making, eh?

What's even odder is most of these accounts can be picked up for 300-400k for a 60. Damn low when you realize you can make that in a few days at fungus or a few good rounds in hs south. Hell, ragefire can almost drop that once if you get the mythical double cof.

What the hell you call grouping. 6 people?? You are either drunk as hell or a idiot with your post.

300 to 400K Now I know you are a idiot.
