I actually had that in my original post but took it out lol

Not sure if ZoS can really do anything. They could try and contact Facebook and ask them to take it down, but Facebook might just brush it off as no big deal as they have a million other things to worry about. And even if they do take it down they would have a new site up within hours. Its a never ending battle that every major game company has to deal with.

There are loads of sell game account sites out there...surprising the amount of money these accounts can go for

I don't recommend anyone trying to buy an existing account as many scams are out there and problems you will most likely run into with ZoS monitoring . Not to mention its against the rules but you may also end up paying for something you eventually lose . Leveling is easy and making money is too . A regular account is dirt cheap now and also a safe bet on not getting ripped off and put in a awkward position for customer service when the account gets comprised from multiple sales scams and hardware monitoring checks . Save money and buy your own account . It's against the rules to protect you as well , not just ZoS .

Nowhere. Facebook doesn't care and neither does Zenimax. Even if someone at ZOS bothers to get the group taken down another will take its place.

I just wonder, whats in it for you? What is your complain?

The rules of not selling account are made against you, not for you. In a world of freedom where you can sell anything that belongs to you, even your body, these companies forbid you to sell something you bought and invested tons of hours in it.

It's only question of time till it will be permitted on government level to sell any gaming account. We are just too small for now for anyone to care about.

I see you as a horse behind fence who complains that the owner forgot to close the gate.

Not talking about gold\account sellers is a very well known part of player base and it would be stupid to "punish" them for investing time in ZoS's game. If they were interested they would be getting rid of them within 2 hours.

Stop being so silly, gosh.

I'm not posting this to get the group taken down. I was just hoping that they could attempt to act as buyers to try and find out the accounts and then delete them. But yes, they probably don't care.

I HIGHLY doubt Zenimax cares lmao

Don't buy an account unless you're not worried about the person you're giving money to recovering it right after.

Ya, no one cares, so you shouldn't.

Yeah, I considered it once after being offered $800 USD for it but love the game too much to walk away....

I don't know how much it would take for me to consider handing over my account, but it seems it's a lot more than that. I inadvertently made a face and physically recoiled when I read that $800 figure.

I'd sell any of my accounts for half that. I can get back to CP cap in a month

The way it works is IF you do X then Y happens based on the agreements, etc.

This Facebook page is no different than people spamming in game or the bots that have existed and continued in all platforms since launch.

Well now your account probably not worth half of that cause ESO lost interest fast. You can go back to max cp within 3-4 month if you know what you are doing. I wouldn't sell too probably, but remember some players in this game living in countries with median salary of 500$. So I'm sure there many people who would agree to sell their account for that decent amount.

$3500 for a CP 1200+ account ...

ZOS may getting the pages shut down. A google search leads to multiple facebook pages all sending you to another site that does the buy/sell/trades.

Going there is kind of disappointing.

Personally I think it would be easier just to have an automated watch for change of account and character names, along with email update and starting to play from a different IP/device. And when those accounts are flagged have a human double check then ban when needed.

I think the photo shows the wrong end of the horse.... the other end might have been a more appropriate response.

Hahah yeah most likely, back then VMA weapons were all the rage yet 95% of people still couldn't complete it and I had sharpened weapons

Lmao what a snitch. Just let them live.

I don't know where you were brought up but I was told inside and outside of home to never get involved in people's business, especially when they're doing no good.

If there weren't any snitches, there'd be a whole lotta people out there getting away with things that they shouldn't get away with.

Being that I've worked on the right side of the law for many many years, it's kinda my thing to get involved in people's business, especially when they're doing no good. Unfortunately having a badge these days automatically marks you as a bad guy to many people. Probably because of those same people who preach that "snitches get stitches"...

If the mods tagged don't respond I would try sending in a ticket via the support tools on this site. I think that there *is* something they can do, as people tend to use their real names on Facebook more often than not, somehow thinking that because it's social media they are immune to being caught. Real names are often attached to accounts in games for the same reason.

Don't listen to people asking you to look the other way when cheaters are cheapening the game with a total lack of respect for rules. It's pretty obvious who the badguys are here, and it's not people who try to do what's right.

I also heard most of the 1,000+ accounts cheated to get there and ZoS did nothing.

SantieClaws

Khajiit thinks it may be wiser rather than shutting down this page to keep a close eye on it, take notice of these accounts and then swing the banhammer heavily in their direction yes.
