Time to End Account Buying/Selling?
 
Simple question with simple answers.

citizen1080 04-29-2013 09:33 PM

Accounts dont kill people, people do.

Was account buying/selling permitted on live during Classic era?

citizen1080 04-29-2013 09:39 PM

When was 2boxing not permitted on live during classic era?

If you really want to derail this with the 'it isnt classic' argument.

Please let this whole nonsense stop. I feel the same way about multiquesting epics. IMO that should be turned off.

Nope it wasnt , but you always had a huge server population. This keeps people interested and playing more often.

Why, so those that did MQ them can have them, and those that havent have to do the quest instead of buying it?

The perceived damage is already done on epics / account sales, its pointless to stop it now. A fresh server? Sure... but not one thats this old etc etc etc etc.

Not sure on buying/selling but a wizard and a druid traded accounts pre-kunark in my guild.

How is it a derailment if it's still on the topic of whether account buying/selling should be ended?

If the goal of the server, and it's "mission statement", is to replicate a classic experience, then shouldn't it try to remain classic?
I don't agree with the idea of account selling/buying. So of course I wouldn't participate in it, and I'm sure most people would say "cool story bro". But if this is a classic server, than non-classic elements shouldn't exist.

And yes, I'm aware that goes for this travesty of an end-game and the way it's been handled.

That's a good point, but I don't think that allowing epic farming to continue indefinitely is a better alternative to grandfathering the existing MQ'd epics to remain.
