I think that CC fraud and identity theft are the primary dangers, and getting banned from playing a game is secondary or less.Larry Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-53033132150645509682015-02-12T15:51:26.191-06:002015-02-12T15:51:26.191-06:00FYI, the new ban rules are apparently also being a...FYI, the new ban rules are apparently also being applied to players who bought ISK from RMTers in the past, but who are only being caught now. 3 players recently got hit with the banhammer, for ISK they bought early last year. One of them voluntarily turned himself in (I think he correctly figured that he would get caught by association with the others), and was "rewarded" with a lesser penalty.<br /><br />I've also heard a weird rumor that some of the RMT sites have been turning in players. Apparently, the thinking behind this is that the illegal in-game currency gets confiscated by the game company and removed from the game. The first-time offender gets hit with a temp ban, but his/her guild/corp still needs the gold/ISK, so they go back to the RMTer, either with another player who hasn't been caught yet, to buy again - thus doubling the sales for the RMTer. Go figure.Larry Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-30873471797379289202015-02-10T11:26:40.496-06:002015-02-10T11:26:40.496-06:00Seeing the dangers of secondary damage apart from ...Seeing the dangers of secondary damage apart from being banned from the game (CC fraud, identify theft), maybe this would be the video to remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE7ukc7MV-kDruur Monakhnoreply@blogger.com
