guilds buying chars and accounts with DKP

[natescraigslist]

how is this a common practice and allowed, its against the rules to sell you accounts right? how is it legal to create an account, powerlevel a bot char and then sell it to a guild for DKP? doesnt make sense if account buying and selling is banned? doesnt seem legit...

[Hibbs]

You sound upset cuz someone had more DKP than you lol

[mizzbiscuits]

I believe this is illegal.

No real money is changing hands so it isn't something as easily verifiable. I'm sure if they could prove it something would be done. Alas guilds and their systems are black boxes to CSR in a lot of respects. How can you tell the legitimate from the illegitimate and what if you are wrong and dick over someone just trying to relive his childhood?

What's the saying? 'It's not what you know but what you can prove'

You don't sell the account for dkp, you get dkp for leveling a toon on a guild account. It might sounds like playing with words but the owner of the account never change.

At some point the guild will merge, fold, disappear or something else.

The owner of that account (whoever made it, which isn't "the guild" - someone has that email/password) is going to change its password, and you'll have irrelevant currency for all your hard work.

This is the bad news in advance, and as an aside... the reputation of this character probably isn't of any concern to who is leveling it, so you'll probably find this kind of powerleveling being done in popular XP zones like CB/Unrest/MM :/

Indeed abiding to the letter of the law while flagrantly dismissing it in spirit has always ended well for those throughout human history.

It would be a stretch and an over reach to mandate that guilds could not award DKP to members that level/power level "guild bots" for whatever purpose. DKP is a token economy that rewards members for their time performing guild activities. At the core of your statement DKP would need to be completely removed from P99 and by proxy all DKP Guilds.

Good read on Token Economies and DKP.
