E Vile Fifth Exiled Legion SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.03 08:18:00 - [1] That's what you get for buying a character. Personally I wish they didn't allow characters to be sold. Would have alot less old uber toons in this game. Don't worry, I'll never get my wish on that one.
E Vile Fifth Exiled Legion SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.03 08:21:00 - [2] Originally by: Yggdrassil Originally by: CCP Wrangler Originally by: Dulcinea Toboso CCP asked me. Simple as that. They asked me if I had purchased the character or had gotten it some other way. I answered like I always do, honestly. I should write them back and say, hey, I was wrong, I did buy the character, and then all would be returned. Again, I see that as total equine excrements. The ISK wouldn't be returned to the character, you'd just get the character transfer reversed. You wouldn't get any ISK back from the transfer either since you didn't pay any ISK for the character. Basically, the way it is now you've got a character, even though it has minus balance in the wallet. If the transfer was reversed you wouldn't have that either. Probably way too late in this thread - as the CCP staff has stopped watching it, but what the heck... Why not put characters that are sold the legal way in the "Personality Switching Corp" or something like that while the transfer is settled. This way, CCP and players are able to see at the exact point when a character changed ownership. Furthermore, when investigating stuff like this, you do know what date&time the crime was committed. I would imagine that a straight-forward way to recover the bought isk would be to see who owned the character at that time. If the character had changed hands - you go back and look to which account the isk went, and take the isk back from him. Explained: jan 07: "TopGun" buys 5B isk feb 07: "TopGun" is sold to "Max", payment sent to "LousyIskBuyer". mar 07: "TopGun" buys 2B isk apr 07: "TopGun" is sold to "HonestMike", payment sent to "DirtyCop" Nov 07: CCP finds out about both isk buyings. Nov 07: CCP checks "TopGun"s corp history, sees the two character transfers. Nov 07: CCP deducts 5B isk from "LousyIskBuyer" for buying isk. Nov 07: CCP deducts 2B isk from "DirtyCop" I might loose the plot somewhere, its late in the night, but... Haven't the ISK been taken away in a more "just" way? Aren't the innocent, rule abiding players better protected? It's like the charge for Possesion of stolen property. Don't matter if you stole it. It's a crime to posses it also.
