ZOS should track hardware ID, and have a request process if you want to transfer to other machines in particular sudden country changes if they wanted to make it harder. But I guess too much effort on their part.

How would that help against account selling ? If both seller and buyer are in (which, obviously, they are since it is a sale and not a hack), they can easily go through this request process together. And you cannot possibly bind a software usage to a particular machine.

Honestly surprised that anyone, at all, is defending account selling. It's against the TOS, and sucks, as leads to bots and more gold farmers etc etc. So someone reporting it is doing the right thing.

Sure one guy selling his account when he's had enough is different to setups designed to turn a regular profit from it - but regardless both aren't right.

Feels like you know what you are talking about. It's time for you to make your own game and start removing players who buy account for hundreds of dollars to play it. Players who come with money to waste them on the game. You seem to have a touch for a business.

Happily there are smarter people in ZoS and other MMO developers who don't do it.

Automated bots is something else and it is not that hard to take preventive actions to keep control of their quantities.

Doubt they can or will do anything. Also to the person saying that having Facebook names is going to do anything, what are they going to do ban everyone with the same name.
I don't see the deal, I doubt there is much cheating going on, sure it might be against tos but you don't get points for honesty and I doubt you'll get reprocussions either unless the account is constantly bouncing ip addresses or your a *** and post the real account name. People who use a site like Facebook to buy will most likey be scammed anyway since I imagine the money goes through and an account recovery by the seller happens and you lose both.
Tbh I imagine this is an attempt at a flame thread or a look at me thread by op hoping to get some recognition for his heroic snitching.
