    Depends where you are, in the EU those EULAs are basically unenforcable trash for a start.. and breaking a contract isn't breaking a law in any case, as it says you're breaking a contract, that's it.

    It's then down to the injured party usually in a civil case to prove they have suffered a loss due to breech of said contract.. and if proven can be awarded compensation for their loss... but still no law has been broken.

    Folks complaining that their accounts aren't "worth anything"... LOL.

    Of -course- they aren't worth anything. The game is like 90 days old. Your X number of VR 12s was achieved in that amount of time, tells anyone even thinking of buying an account that they, too, can get those levels pretty easy...

    And as I've said over and over, this game is just -too easy-. Max-level EQ1 characters in the old days selling for $1k? Ok, I can see that. But welcome to 2014. Most games allow pretty speedy advancement with minimal effort and time invested. You guys crack me up.

    But I do enjoy reading the QQ in this forum. There's -always- an easy way out: it's called 'Cancel Sub', followed by 'Move on with life'.

    I play a game to... you know, play it. Not load up someone else's saved game and say I finished.

    to do exactly what the people who are stating they sell accounts are complaining about: get to the end game content/gear without effort.

    What is it that's so inherently better about endgame? And I don't mean in ESO in particular (Where I've heard the endgame isn't the best), but in general?

    I'm quite happily working my way through the zones. 'tis fun.

    Will I have way more fun when I get to the end?

    didnt mean for this to be a debate on the merits of account buying. few games allow it, thus it is at best a dishonest practice in most, just as gold buying is. however, both exist because certain people want something faster/easier and care not about their personal ethics.

    Just because no-one has been charged, doesn't mean it's not against the law. Not to mention that there are different laws in different countries. Here in the UK there may just be different laws from whichever state the datacenters for ESO are (Which I gather is where the case would be tried if it got to court).

    But the fact remains that Terms of Service are technically legally binding (In both the UK and USA, and probably many other places).

    (It's also really hard to research this, as google just returns a load of websites' terms pages!)

    You guys are super off topic. But i am game.
    The value of characters is directly affected by the value of the game. Much like a telephone or facebook, if no one uses it, then it is worthless. If everyone uses it, the value and capabilities are great. People buy accounts for endgame gear and status. Status was a big one in WOW. It is not illegal. It is not shady. I support it. I find it hilarious. In WOW you could always tell who bought their character. Sure you paid money to null the grind, but you lost the vital experience. In some games, it is still called for. Aion for example. To hit max level and then grind for gear, wow you had to be some sort of wizard. You know, that kind of wizard. Hahaha.

    Correct...this is because EULAs and TOS's have ZERO legal weight behind them. Just because a software company hires some lawyers to draw up gibberish and SAY that by using their product you are agreeing to previously mentioned gibberish and that it is legally binding means nothing.

    Yeah most EULA's, TOS's, etc are written so as to keep the COMPANY from being sued when for example thy just close your account or ban you from a game, etc. You try and sue them and they point to the part of the EULA that you broke, that nobody actually reads anyway haha.

    Yeah, you know that civil law and criminal law are distinct things, right?

    The DA doesn't get the pleasure of taking you to court. ZO can and will shut down the account in question, and they would have every right to take you to court for any proceeds made from the sale of your account. The same laws prevent you from reselling the actual packaged game once it's been opened (or in most cases, before it's even opened). You don't own the software or the account. You just purchased the rights to use it.

    None of you can sue anyway. You signed an agreement waiving that right and agreeing to all disputes to be settled by binding arbitration. Besides that NO ONE is due any kind of refund. I have bought plenty of books, movies, and games over the years that I did not like. You don't get refunds for that. Just go away and play something else. Makes no sense for you to be spending any more time here. Just go and find a happier life.

    Yeah literally not a single person even mentioned the possibility of suing Zenimax. The whole topic of the EULA and legality is about whether or not it's against the law to sell accounts or characters.

    P.S. it's not. Breaking a contract isn't against the law, it at worst opens you up to civil liability. It's part of the difference between a "crime" and a "tort."

    P.P.S. I'm sure Zenimax loves it every time someone on these forums tells someone posting under a paid account to go away. After 5 times I hear they send you a fruit basket.

    So if i get the OP right he want his money back for he think it is to many bugs in game??

    I have meet 3 bugs in game after it went live and i can tell you that beta was more bug then live version also OP you should know that NO mmo is total bug FREE not even mmo that have been out for 10 years i still found bug in older mmo then ESO so basically i would be rich man by now if got my money back each time i found bug serious if like the game as you say you do you would just stop play until YOU think the have fix all bugs but reminder you can help them by send bug report if everyone did send bug report when found a bug most bug would be fix by now.

    I have meet people stand in front bug mobs or npc and whine that the bug and the just leave without send bug report and after the go forum and whine about how bug the game so OP just don't blame Zenimax you should also blame the community for not help out.

    Would it kill some of you to use a period? No one can understand what you want to say.
    I caught that last part. I have reported many bugs. Non fixed thus far, hahaha. I found work-arounds for many bugs, but many other bugs still persist.

    Agreed Mutagem. And others who are enjoying the game. Unfortunately it seems much of this feeling is case by case; some players are miraculously having no bugs at all, and others can't go 10 minutes without some bad code getting us killed. I love the game, but I hate the execution of it. My game remains in the far spectrum of "unplayable" despite efforts by myself and customer support attempting to fix it. Everything was fine for me before the June 24th patch. Then all hell broke loose. There has been no hotfix for the patch nor was the rerolled to safe working state for all.

    If you do not have any issues with the game, awesome! I am crossing my fingers and knocking on wood for you. Each patch is a risk, hahah. I can't seem to get to the opportunity to enjoy the game, but I am glad that someone can.

The whole thing about playing a game to v12 with 2 toons and claiming it was not worth it? ?? Really??? Isn't that like eating at McDonald's for a month and then saying you want your money back because it doesn't look like the add?? I guess you forgot all the time in between that you prospered by. This is entertainment...."are you not entertained??" (Gladiator) but since olé Russell isn't that great anymore I want my money back for all the movies with him in it...now if gladiator came with a warning that this would be one of his only few good movies...I wouldn't be asking.....lol
