Account Selling

Yeah it's pretty hilarious. And VERY clear that some players are in the GMs pockets.

I got suspended last night for "KSing" a mob....that I didn't even get the kill on. Couldn't loot the mob. It was Dvin in crushbone and some lvl 50 shammy (that i didnt see) was PLing a group of lowbies.

No questions asked....instant suspension. Hmmmmmmm.

Just get your hands in a GMs pocket then have them change the name of the toon you bought.

As ridiculous as your statements are, trolling GMs is a no-no. I wouldn't recommend you do it in the future.

Well when you think you could buy a level 50 for like 50k, the time it takes to farm 50k is a lot less than the time it would take to get to 50.

Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

but you have to have a 50 before you can farm the 50k for another 50..... too many 50s.

so it takes the time to level up a level 50 + the time to farm 50k to get a level 50 char... on a server where you can only play 1 character at a time.... something sounds corrupt here.

The problem as I mentioned before is the fact that people are PLing/Gearing toons SPECIFICALLY just to sell them now. Just like live.

Also you don't have to have a lvl 50 to farm the 50k plat if you just purchase that too.

People might buy accounts to entice their friends who formerly played live to come play.

People might want a different feel for the game than they're getting with their current class.

People might want to have a class better suited for kunark.

People might want a niche class for a specific purpose (i.e. necro for farming lguk).

People might just want to play a different class every now and then since they're 50 with nothing to do.


Sure, it "sounds corrupt," but there are plenty of legitimate reasons someone might want a second 50.

I just wonder how people can get a character to 50, even with power-leveling which stops being effective after a point, in less time than they could have farmed 50k. Are they doing it because the farming spots are so overcamped that people literally can't find a place to make money? It would seem to me that anyone with the capacity to routinely PL chars to 50 ought to be able to farm that amount of money in less time and with less effort. It's not as if 1-50 can be done in a weekend unless you have an entire team devoted to it, and even then I would be skeptical. Are people really making a business out of this? So far, the chars I've seen for sale were obviously someone's actual character for a while until they wanted to get rid of it, for one of the reasons mentioned above.

I PL'd my roommate's monk from 1-47 in 2.5 days with my druid. Considering we werent online like 20+hrs a day, 1-50 could be done easily in a weekend with just a druid, any other classes would just expedite the process.

Why not play this 2nd character on the account they already have?

Because they can't buy a level 50 character and transfer it into the account they already have.
