I believe that the pictures talk for themselves. Developers should give this an eye. It's basically tripping on your own stuff.

Naming and shaming is against the forum rules and might get you banned. If you want to report a player you should do it directly without involving the forums.

This should have been PM'ed to Trendy or a mod, not posted publicly.

Naming and shaming is a bannable offense. I strongly suggest you edit that link before you are banned.

In before close... but honest to god don't see anything wrong with the pics... he got more codes than he needed, and was trading for in game currency... Anyone buying from the Z-Mart to repost the item on the exchange does the exact same thing... Or trading Zen for Dilithium... real money to in game currency..

So before this gets closed, can someone tell me what was done wrong here? Just for info.

I'm guessing that the guy bought twice during the groupees sale (it would be easy to do, since a lot of charges didn't go through for hours), and sold the second set of codes for ec. This is about as much of an exploit as selling fleet modules or keys in game is.

you could buy multiple groupee bundles... nothing to stop you. just needed to make seperate transactions or do the make gift and get use another email. dont like that other folks got multiple packs and then sell/trade? tough suck it up.

@johnny111971 I'm no expert on legal matters, but as far as I can see this person is doing nothing wrong whatsoever. He bought something - likely from the charity drive recently - got charged twice for some reason, but also received two sets of codes so he technically got what he paid for. Rather than ask for a refund and return the second set of codes/items he decided to sell it. If he sold this for real world money it would be if not illegal then at least against the ToS of this game, but (and here's the caveat) as far as I can tell from this convo excerpt he's only selling it for in game currency (EC) which is not against anything in the ToS and anyone who's bought keys (or anything else for zen or lobi) and put it up on the exchange or traded it in game with another player for either EC or another item has been doing the exact same thing.

Now I'm lacking a lot of this convo so I can't be sure but from what there is this person isn't doing anything they shouldn't and I just assume OP is sore about this for some reason.

And even if this had been something that was against the ToS posting about it in the forum where you can see both the person's name and handle very much is against the TOS. So if anyone is looking at a ban for anything here it's OP.
