The FS Other Games Issue (in General)

I thought this was banned before? I remember people not being able to sell their RS accounts and items, etc.

I really do not think that this should be allowed, and if it is, I really think it should be dealt with on a private basis. I do not want to see other games advertised on CB's FS/WTB forum, it really infuriates me. I play CB to play CB, not to play WoW, Runescape or anything other game! If I wanted to play those games, I would... and I wouldn't try and sell my CB account for items or money in another game.

I think there should be some policy on this type of behavior (if there isn't already).

I can't be the only one that frowns upon this!

Right?

It was banned because it's illegal to sell your Runescape accounts, and it's the same with WoW accounts I believe so that shouldn't be allowed. It's perfectly okay if the other game allows the accounts to be sold but here at CB we abide by other games' policies.

I think its acceptable to talk about other games like wow, or runescape. Maybe in off-topic or something. But your right accounts shouldn't be sold like that. CHEATERS.

> here at CB we abide by other games' policies

actually, we decided it wasn't reasonable to require CB's admins to know all other games' policies as well. so, we officially don't care what you do with your accounts in other games.

one word... Pwn

My main issue is what they do with their other game accounts in CB. If we allow the sale of other game accounts in CB forums, why can't I sell my Epiphone Les Paul in FS/WTB? Why can't I sell my old toaster in CB forums?

I just feel that CB FS/WTB forum posts should be related to in-game material only. I mean, aren't we supposed to be roleplaying a little here? Or is CB not considered an RPG?

well It is your own risk to buy some character in another game which probably had done bad deeds (scam, so on) and very likely you cannot do much with that character since that game community has ignored you (a.k.a cannot do raid, cannot earn perks). So ...

So it's allowed to sell accounts from other games now?

Eh... if you allow to trade CB virtual stuff for cash, the next logical step is trading CB virtual stuff for "other games" virtual stuff.

So I'm with you on the OP with one condition : if you also disallow any real-money trades between players too.
The only way to get CB$ would be buying people supporterships or buying supporter items and selling them for CB$.
Or, heck, have a "buy CB$ for USD from CentralBank only at fixed rate" option if you really insist.
Then it would all be fair.

Except because there are transfers, people will sell CBD to each other under the table for less than the fixed rate.


So the options to solve that problem are:

1) Add to the admin duties the responsibility of hunting down people who sell CBD for USD and make it a violation of the ToS

or

2) No more x-fers (yes, this is blatant bait for Sutekh to come post)

>>Or, heck, have a "buy CB$ for USD from CentralBank only at fixed rate" option if you really insist.

I suggested this months ago but was completely ignored, with the idea that a free market economy was the true vision of CB. Pah!

Although I support that change, to be honest.

I don't think this was ever banned by Jon. Perhaps other admins thought it was banned by him at one time or another, but it was never banned by Jon.

Personally I think CB admins should only have to worry about CB's terms of service, not every other game out there. If game X wants to prevent trading for $CB, then their admins should do that, not ours.
