I know that many of you might not always believe us when we say that the GMs actively look for ebayers and other scum of the MMOG world, but here it is! GM Arkanon posted a news item where he tells us they just banned 80 accounts! 
Please remember that discussing activities that are against the EULA such as ebayers and selling in game items and accounts are not allowed, this post is merely a way for us to let you know that Things Are Being DoneÖ! 
You can of course report this kind of behavior to the GMs by petitioning in game or Ask A Question on this website. Emailing the moderators will get it forwarded to the GMs, but we prefer if you petition it to them directly.

Let it be known that GM Arkanon is very persistent in his quest against macro miners and Ebayers.
Nice work !!

You guys should look in your own back yard before casting the stones. The difference with this scheme is you are making the cashà

This char are selled for ingame isk between player. CCP charge only a transfer fee to prevent abuse and even if it's profitable for them, Have you a problem with CCP gaining money for their work ?

But if I have 3 accounts and build characters to sell you are making isk from paying money for the accounts and transfer fee.
CCP are making the money and the sellers are getting isk from paying money. Hey I'm, cool with that - just not that far from selling isk on eBay is it? Its just CCP are the pimps and the character runners are the users

Indeed but I see 3 major differences :
1¦/ There is no agreement, you wont have x isks for y SP
2¦/ The char sellers isn't assured to get a deal (in your linked thread the seller seems to have probleme to sell his char)
3¦/ (and most important) It's CCP benefiting of the RL cash not a random leech. More cash for CCP = greater EvE support and happy Oveur and TomB. Every serious eve players know the importance of the last point on their game experience

I was anti ebay 1's but since I moved to pure pvp it was a handy sorce of isk without having to leave the battle field.
Thats gunno push the the prices up for pvpers that dont mine & do ebay to buy isk & encorage more effort from ebayers but still impressive effort by 1 GM.
Why cant you name & shame if you have the evidance to ban ?.

Well, interesting to see how this thread gets off topic. The thing is, selling in game items and in game money for real life money is not allowed and will get you banned. Selling characters for in game money is allowed and will not get you banned. And that should end the discussion on that topic, at least in this thread. Meaning all future posts about it will get deleted.

Hello everyone and thanks for your feedback.
I really do not want to get into an argument about whether our policy of allowing character sales from ISK is tantamount to selling ingame items on Ebay. But please consider, before making such allegations, that behind an ebay operation such as the one just *ahem* CRUSHED by the GMs (que maniacal laughter), there are typcally also macro miners, possibly even operated by people hired to do so for dismal pay. We have banned accounts that are obviously some sort of business venture, with accounts numbered (XXX1, XXX2, etc) and that, amongst other things makes you think that this must be some sort of "sweatshop" operation. And we don't want it in EVE.
Macroers and those who deal in ingame items are not contributing anything to this game or it's community. Rather, they feed off it and will happily ruin it, as long as they are making profit. I have no sympathy for these people and neither should you.
By the way, I know I posted the news article, since it's in my job description to grab as much glory as I can, but credit where credit is due: It was GM Rendo who handled the research and investigation and a darn good job he did too. We ban ebayers all the time, we just thought we'd brag about this one

Good going guys, lets get the evil do-ers out of the game.
While this thread will obviously get some attention from Forum mods and GM's can I ask the following :-
In light of this, is there anything, we the players, can look out for in an attempt to help you weed these evil do-ers out.
If you could give us some guidelines on what to look out for we could be a great asset at times (although I might expect you'd have more info to go through)
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Congrats GMs, good job! I think Ebaying is totally ghey, and people who buy isk from it for new chars miss out on a lot of the game imo. Nice to see you guys are actively seeking out the ebayers and the job you do is a massive help to the community and the eve economy.
Keep bustin' them macros! |
