A concern about multiple accounts trading each other - Guild Wars Forums

severchains · Oct 24, 2008, 03:12 AM // 03:12

Hello,

I just got a 2nd GW account for storage. So I am worried about getting banned for trading with myself due to the possiblity that anet thinks that my two accounts are different people enaging in one of them illegal real money trades (which I am very against). Has this ever happened to any1? or am I just being paranoid?

Don't quote me, but I would suspect that unless you are trading insane amounts gold you probably wouldn't even make a blip on the radar.

Only time you can get banned is if you trade packets of 100k more then 1 time with nothing in return,just throw a bone in trade and it will be fine.

you think that people who sell gold wouldnt do this already if it made any difference?

Just go outside an outpost, and drop-trade all you want

I've traded between my 2 accounts for a while now. Moved large amounts of gold and materials without anything in return. Never been banned. I suspect that if the IP address is the same from both accounts then they will not bother with it. So don't sweat it. If you happen to get ban it would be only a small inconvenience. Send a support ticket explaining yourself and it would be fixed.

I've had 2 accounts for the past 3 years and transfered a lot and never had a ban. I usually stock pile some gold so when 9 rings comes around I won't go broke. So that "trade less than 100k" is a bunch of bull. I don't really feel like searching Gaile's archives but there is an instance where she said that trading between accounts is perfectly fine.

Agreed, i have not been banned and i constantly shift stacks of materials and 100p+ across my 8 accounts. I would advise going here and asking a question, obviously the offical opinion would be the most logical one to seek.
