Read the thread Milo has already answered this.

There is a big difference between a level 10 with gold and a level 40+

This is the risk of both paties. Lots of players that have paid for accounts have been conned yet people keep doing it.

I get messages all the time saying I paid for an account and now the owner has taken it back please do something. That's the risk you have taken.

The reason that was given for not banning gold buyers and account buyers was because its hard to prove and takes up loads of time from the few staff there are who have many other things to do.
Not that is allowed just really time consuming to do anything about it. We all know it screws the game.No one approves its just hard to stop. I reckon coming down hard on it at the start woulda been a good idea. BH wasn't here then though and it is a lot of work.
I reckon on a p server shouldn't need hard proof. We all know anyway. Its always been a thing in mir same people most servers.

My opinion, either play the game or go throw money more constructively at
your local food bank, there's people hungry in UK.
fund a bright kid from a poor family through a good school, uniform travel school trips extras
give a scholarship to a good school
Award a cash prize to a competition in a sport of your choice. IN line skating is under funded.
Fund an amateur sports venue/competition
Create employment
Hire a chauffeur
Hire a sports coach for your local gymnast/tennis/cricket whatever team.
Fund an extra teacher at a local school extra nurses.

Gold buyers sellers account buyers sellers selling them or items for irl cash is annoying and low. It isnt going to go away on official servers and seems that even the p servers have to put up with it. I blame the players who cannot seem to play the game without extra help. Are they all so bad at it that they cant play without having to make it easier for themselves?

Never bought gold from a server but I was thinking about it recently, as I've seen a good few peoples kit improve drastically and of course I don't have huge amounts of time anymore.

Although I've changed my mind :P.

Let this be a warning to everyone, once I find an account selling gold I ban it, does not matter what level the account is.

then why was my account email changed (without my permission) ?

i've pmed you about it and waited 3 days yet you haven't replied.

Back when your server was compromised, a player was allowed to change the registered email address to my account and obtain it illegaly (the original email was a random made up one like [email protected])

if a GM did change this.. Then good. It shows you were going to try and con some 1 of the account back after selling it. Hope you never see the char again tbh.

Its not just the sellers to blame though is it?
The buyers as well. So if you get scammed then like the team says its A risk you take. Everyone else just laughs at you.
Cba/haven't got the time to play as much so I will just spend instead.
Is easy for the sellers to sit around playing games all day then sell you a char or offer a levelling service.
The smart ones, make chars level fast then sell the char, do it again and again. Repeat business is always good.
This idea that you should be able to sell the char you worked so hard for is off. Most of em do it on purpose and they had fun on the way.

Wjy dont staff just counter this with there own gold bundles in the gg shop. while i know its a pita it will help with fer of the scams.

Also with regards to the chars bh can you not generate a new account and transfer the character across to it providing proof is 100% thta the char is brought and not hacked, ss of transactions etc should cover this

The situation seems the same as with most MMORPGS, where gold buying and selling isn't allowed, but the GMs simply don't have the resources to caution or ban every single player. The most effective method is to hit the sellers who deal in bulk. However this doesn't mean that small trades are allowed, so don't be surprised if you get caught.

Why should he spend what little time he has working on the server, so players can line their pockets in safety?

Pretty much this. Currently playing Swordsman online and they have a real issue with gold sellers, but it's the whole story. For every five you ban, ten more take their places. It's just a never ending battle. The only game that seemed to of figured out a way to solve it, though it was not through ingenuity/cleverness/ideas, was EVE Online, though it is more thanks to it's game style that makes it very difficult for botters to make a suitable base for making money then selling it on.

It's a difficult scenario.

Blame the buyers.
Handing out cash to look good on a p server makes no sense.
people are said to be playing this old old game because they love it. Do they only love it if they can buy their way to their goal?
It's ok to spend money on my hobby they say. But its not playing the game that you love so much is it? Its shopping.

people buy because they can't spend the time. Most if not all of the original nutters (myself included!) are now jobbed/married/kids so we can't pull the 14hrs/day week after week. I myself do think maybe I would buy a little happiness (if I was still playing that is).. after all you could spend weeks online to get very little, whereas working a day or two can mean when you can play, you can enjoy your ingame time much more. I think this is the main reason why we have people buying.. Server owners need to realise, the only way to control the gold sellers is to actually be the seller themselves. Either that or make an official price, that basically prices the sellers out of the market, but then you have a pay to win server.. but then that's what every server is, I think it would be far more constructive making players realise this fact, then make a server appropriately. People moaning about P2W are either deluded or stupid, way of the world, why you think this game will be shielded from those forces is bordering on the rediculous.
