Transfering alot to diffrent accounts - Guild Wars Forums

Olle · Jan 09, 2010, 11:37 AM // 11:37

used search but didnt find any good answer (move if in wrong forum,sorry)
Ive been buying alot of unids lately, and using a friends account as an bank(its empty)
i.e :today ive transfered more than 200 unids the past 1-1,5 hours to another account, and when the day is over, i will trade them back
ive been doing this the past 3-5 days, so wanted to know if i should stop buying so much, if anet thinks im doing something baed...
so, Transfering alot to diffrent accounts : Ok or not ok?

I have more than one account, and have wondered about this issue myself. Back when my husband used to play, I had him transfer all his drops, etc. on a daily basis back to me as a way to work on titles for my main. Not sure if this is enough to answer your question, but I have never encountered any problems from doing this over the past year or so.

I have more than one account and often times I switch between the two for months at a time. When I do this I always transfer my wealth from one account to the other. Most the time this is around a couple million in stuff. I've never had any problems doing this. I'm sure it draws attention to me from ANet, but they do some research before they lay down the ban hammer. They look at things like the IP address of the person who accesses both accounts. So in my case, when both accounts are used by the same person, they can easily determine that I in fact own both accounts. There are numerous other ways to find out if someone is simply transferring gold/items or if they're up to no good. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

It sounds like you are doing this very complicated.

No, I doubt you should be worried, personally i say, you dont have to worry if your just transfering stuff from one account to one other account,goldsellers tend to trade with more then one person,instead of only one trade on one account.

The reason im saing it sounds complicated and that you should not do it so complicated, is because if i was the person at support helping you if you get caught by the anti rmt bot, I would find it really weird and suspicious if i saw that you were trading to multiple accounts just to get them to one account eventually.

If i were you i would just buy/store the stuff with your friends account untill all slots and storage are full,then when its full start trading them back to your original account and ID them,sure you wont be able to id 500+ stuff at once, but at least it looks less suspicious.

I think there are a few things Anet is looking for. Back in the day before multi loaders, I was helping a buddy move stuff from one account to another. We did a few trades including several that were just 100k trades with nothing in return. I actually got a temperary suspension for 72 hours for "buying in game gold. I contacted anet and after a few days got all negative activity removed from my account history after I explained the situation but they suspended me based on this assumption. Since then when transferring cash, we add other items so the trades are not all one sided.

I have never had a problem since then and never had problems before that. I'm guessing transfers of items such as golds are not flagged like large one sided cash trades.

I also heard somewhere a long time ago, to just type some comments in chat so the devs can see what's happening if they check the logs.

As the trades are always between the same two accounts, I am sure they will not think that you are dealing with, or dealing as, a gold seller. Only using someone else's account makes it iffy, as if asked you cannot show proof of ownership of both accounts.

I've never had problems, which may be due to the fact that my storage account and main account are tied to the same NC Master Account, so they can easily see that any trades between the two are legal.

I've been doing just like you... Transfering everything from main acc to 4 alt accs. Then trade lots of unids whenever main is full.
No probs so far.
Reached r6 yesterday^^

Cheers, gl
