  • A blatent bought account

    Its kind of sad to see with my own eyes really. I had always heard of bought accounts but i have not witnessed such a blatent one with my own eyes.

    The LS I refer to I am kinda new in (3 months or so) and so I didnt expect to recognise EVERYone. Anyways, along came this random person at a 30Cap brenner event and this dude is in full pimped out PLD gear, Lvl 74.

    Brenner starts and this guy is naked. When we asked him why, he was like "Why didnt anyone tell me I could wear this gear in a 30 cap" - whilst it was obvious of the reaosn why, he then continued to bitch all event about noone lending him a sword and that he thought he could turn up to a 30cap and pwn everyone as 74PLD. Oddly enough, a bought account never entered my head.

    Then, we do the PP BCNM run, and as (bad) luck would have it, he was in my team as WAR/NIN. I was kiting, and before I knew it, he was dead. Then me and the other guy was as well. Looked back through the logs while waiting on the BC to kick us out, and he didnt cast Utsusemi ONCE.

    Challenged him as to why, and he replied he didnt know which tools he needed so didnt buy any. >.>

    So I was bitching about this guy in /tells before one LS member said "this guy bought the account". Thats when it clicked.

    Since then we have shunned him from LS events, moreso for the fact that he keeps being a n00b and refuses to listen becuase he is "74" - yet knows nothing about the game. To prove my point once more when I went through the LS shouting about LB3, he asked what the hell LB3 was :/ I told him he must have done it, to which he replied, "oh I must of done it, but forgot becuase Iv done so many quests". Enough said.

    Is this reportable? This guy is getting on my nerves and none of the LS leaders seems to be too worried about booting him. Angers me to bits.

    Phew, rant over.

    Not reportable, as there is nothing you can solidly prove. If SE comes knocking on his door he can just say a friend gave him the account. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the ToS about being a tool.

          I swear to god this guy is incredibly stupid, in the sense that he doesnt even attempt to hide the fact...just goes on on own merry way, regardless of how many not-so-subtle hints so many people drop!

            Has anyone said to him, you know that account buying is agaisnt the ToS and you could get banned for it? Then maybe he wont buy gil as well in the future. Not-so-subtle hints are obviously not this guys thing, just hit him with it straight up lol.

              There may not be anything you can to in terms of reporting him to SE, but you can make his ass known.

              I'd call him out, in LS chat.

              "So {name}, where'd ya buy your account at? I hear there's been some good prices on characters from this server lately..."

              Ya know, something like that where it becomes obvious to everyone that he bought his character, and has zero clue what is going on. Just make sure you know for sure that he did indeed buy is account (though it definitely sounds like he did) or you'll come out as the noob in the end.

                Wow, I could understand to an extent his misconception about brenner, as I know nothing about it, yet have a 75 character. I do however read the notice were it says 30 cap, and I've done enough level capped missions to know what that means.

                Not knowing LB3 could be that he had done it a while ago by another name, genkai or something like that is the actual names of those quest. Though most people that have lived in vanadiel post level 50 know what the LBs are.

                Unless he is just a complete stoner in real life or something (lacking a large portion of his mental capacity) I would say he bought his account.

                Unfortunatly I believe that this trend is on the rise, I have a new member in my social LS with no sub, and has never played the game before, and is leveling in the dunes. The other day he ask someone to buy 10k boots for his level 15 war since he can't get to jeuno yet. I ask first why he would need 10k boots at level 15, and then ask where did he get 10k from his second day of playing. He though the level 11 boots were "ugly" and his "friend" is buying the stuff for him.

                If a friend is honestly paying for his gear, I wonder what the friend says after his buddy has spent 100k on a new armor set for level 15. But I'm leaning to the idea that his "friend" is name IGE.

                  He probably doesn't have the manual to read. Remember, the ORIGINAL OWNER has the physical manual probably.

                    Even if he account is bought, all they got was the account information to be able to log into that account. They would still have to buy a copy of the game to install on what ever machine they are playing on. And when I bought the game the manuel came on a seperate CD. I think I'm upto page 800 something now X.x

                      Unfortunately on Bahamut, that is not new.

                      Blist is your friend.

                          Blacklist means you'll never see anything by them, shouts, emotes, say, tells, or linkshell.

                          There are a number of people in my dynamis shell I blacklist for the event because they refuse to remove the <call>s out of thier summoning avatars macros. First I don't need to know titan is being summoned, I can see that. Secondly I don't need my eardrums accosted because you feel that you summoning titan is important.

                          But yes, blacklist will block everything they say, directed to you or in general.
