ban for transfer money? - Guild Wars Forums

Lady S Shiva · Jan 13, 2008, 02:45 AM // 02:45

hi, just want to know if it's bannable for transfer money between your own accounts though a guildy or friend.

NekoZ · Jan 13, 2008, 03:04 AM // 03:04

Probably will get you banned.

But no, it isn't an offense.

Brianna · Jan 13, 2008, 03:07 AM // 03:07

I do it daily, so no I don't see why, A-Net might get suspicious if its like 100k+ though.. sad.

Neo Nugget · Jan 13, 2008, 03:17 AM // 03:17

I thought the same thing, so i just figured I would not transfer the money and not take the risk and have to deal with support to undo the mistake they would make.

Not illegal, but they'd get suspicious.

lishi · Jan 13, 2008, 03:22 AM // 03:22

Just avoid to joke something about

"we received the payment"
"please buy gold again from us"

while transfering the money.

I have two accounts, back from the days before we could by extra slots. I of course transferred all kinds of things between the two accounts as it was necessary, as some of my main classes to play were on the other account. Once we could buy slots, I retired that secondary account and remade the other characters on the main account.

Sad, I know (Anet should have allowed account merging back then), but I stopped transferring between accounts for the same reason as mentioned by others. Its not illegal, but its a good way to draw attention to yourself unnecessarily.

Racthoh · Jan 13, 2008, 04:02 AM // 04:02

I know of someone who had their account banned for a few days for moving funds between accounts.

Esan · Jan 13, 2008, 04:02 AM // 04:02

You don't want to deal with the understaffed Anet support department. Why risk it?

arbiter · Jan 13, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

mmm ive transfered for friends lots of times and I've never been banned or even heard about this. Weird though, why does anet consider that bannable? Suspcious of like ebaying or something?

Me too. My friend moved like 800k + a few stacks of ecto though, so it must've seemed pretty suspicious.

Phaern Majes · Jan 13, 2008, 04:52 AM // 04:52

If you do get banned for it all you would have to do is be able to prove to Anet you own both accounts and explain you were merely moving the gold from one account to another.

Siirius Black · Jan 13, 2008, 04:57 AM // 04:57

I know this is what anet does, but it is a problem for the hoest people.
I know there's a lot of people like me that have 2 accounts. You all know the problems with storage. I use my second account to store stuff for me, including gold I sitll have like 137k in that account. I guess I'll transfer 20k at a time.

Or, you know, ANet could just not be a redengine for something so trivial.

Peachie · Jan 13, 2008, 05:10 AM // 05:10

I have 3 accounts and often transfer large amounts of money and rare materials between them. Trade it to a trusted friend, relog on another account and collect it.

Never run into any trouble because of it, but I've often wondered if something could happen.

I couldn't imagine why that would look suspicious at all.

jezz · Jan 13, 2008, 06:44 AM // 06:44

i swap gold and items all the time between my 2 accounts...i havent had any probs so far..

i think with recent events people seem to be getting a little nervous about there ingame activities..

manitoba1073 · Jan 13, 2008, 07:41 AM // 07:41

Never had a problem with doing it yet with my own accounts or through friends yet either.

Too bad it's not A-Net that handles support; NC Soft does.

genofreek · Jan 13, 2008, 08:01 AM // 08:01

I haven't had any issues. Of couse, the only money transfers I've done lately involved getting money off someone who was quitting the game, selling a rare mini for my best friend and giving her the profits, and buying some godawful armor to prank a friend while she was out of down. :P
