So another thread has been derailed . go herehttp://forum.arcgames.com/pwi/discussion/1203630/new-skills-in-the-next-expansion#latest and read last comments on pages 6 and 7 and you will see what I mean .So I decided to start a poll now.So do you thing PW should get rid of the rule of no acounts sharing and selling allowed or keep it? Personally I am not against selling or trading your acount but Im kinda against the idea of sharing.
What will you do one day if the friend with your sharing an acount decide not to be your friend anymore?
Edit: PWI can make acount selling legal as long as it happens through them and they could take 10% or 20% of the money when the account is sold. I think this may be good for their bussines.
Edit: I dont encourage acount selling now when its illegal just wanted to know if people think that PWI should make it legal or not

    Regardless on players opinions this is part of the T&C of your Account with PWE.

    In this case you are bound by this when you press accept.

    I have no need to answer the Poll.​​

    Does it matter if people agree or are against it? Will not change reality.

    The rule you mention is not enforceable. It is put there to scare off silly people, while mentioning admin's stance on such practices. Since admins will preffer that people comming in game pay more for the same results, no?

    In any online game though, people will trade/share their accounts if/when they really want to. Most will not admit to it, for silly fears. Even if you somehow say OK I bought this account, are you liable in any way? Maybe a "friend of yours" used the computer while you were away and lied to get you ...

    I think that the poll you made is pointless.

    I voted no, but in fact I don't really care if they suddenly decide to allow it.
    I find it not convenient to share acc and don't do it. And it's a bit annoying to PM someone and get an answer "it's not him/her", though I can deal with it no problem.
    I can't stand the idea that if someone (even close friend) logged my acc, he would have access to my chat history which I prefer to keep. It's disrespectful to those who shared something personal with me using game chat.
    I like the idea even less when I see ppl trash talking from accounts of my friends.
    I'm probably weird and not many ppl think same way tiger-2.gif

    I voted for sharing. I'm not sure about selling, however for times when maybe you can't log in, and your willing to put your account in the hands of another, sharing can help out. Maybe there is a log in event going on and your on holiday, but don't want to lose out. I can see why they don't allow anything like that though. In other games I've played I've seen accounts that are shared by people across multiple time zones allowing for a 24 hour upkeep, which leads to a serious advantage to people who can't do that.

    The funny thing is that on PWCN there is an NPC where you can sell your character in a VIP auction house for real life money.​​

    I agree with it so long as they removed that failsafe if you have the original email linked to account you can take it back. Im surprise alot if people don't know this when they try buying accounts illegally. I mean think about how ppl put their work emails and change the emaik when they are changing jobs they lose the original but if they lose access to the new one pwi ask info based on the original email to roll it back or nobody ever noticed Idk I felt bad for those who suffered from this technically

    People that share accounts are usually close friends, family etc. that help each other out like when someone is away or too busy. I dont see any harm in that so i dont see why it should be bannable esp now when most people do it so banning someone for account sharing without banning the rest is unfair but if pwe would actually ban all the offenders then 90% of pwi players will be gone. I dont see anything wrong with selling or trading accounts either.

    @booker27 pretty sure main reason ppl hate acc share is the same reason it was scorned on HL if someone couldnt kill you with their main they logged their friends to get the job done or if someone couldnt showbtw someone covered you by logging your endgane char to ensure your faction won. Personally I call it a cowards end but it was very present before server merge on PvP servers and Im sure its rampent now

    This is a trap thread. Sharing and selling accounts is against ToS and can have you and the accounts involved banned. Closing this down.
