Trading
Trading will now be restricted to cases which fulfill all of the following conditions:
a) TOS account is over 7 days old
b) Character is over level 40
Note 1: You must meet both conditions in order to be allowed trading, i.e. only characters which are both above level 40 and are from a TOS account older than 7 days are allowed to trade.
Note 2: Users who do not meet the conditions above will still be able to use NPC shops to buy and sell items.
Note 3: These measures are being implemented as a way to combat the recent rising number of fraudulent accounts using stolen credit cards and engaging in other illegal activities
this is what it should have been from the start
and it all sounds amazingly fine and dandy
until you remember tokens are still in the freaking game regardless of the fact they failed at hurting the bots at all
(and created this new problem of people stealing credit card info for tokens in the first place,no token system? no need to steal RL money to trade)
and that instead of removing them they added another restriction because they actually don’t care about the bots they just want you to pay money for basic features like trading yourself and will do literally anything the OTHER direction involving more restrictions to meet that goal
could it be any more obvious now?
what the games gonna be like
(insert cricket chirping noises)
