WTB wow account :P

[dakels]

So I keep hearing about being able to reclaim the account down the road. I don't understand how that works.

So even if I gave my account to someone else or say I started it on someone else's billing info, even if the info is changed to your own later, the original account owner has the right to reclaim that account? I would assume this had to be done by phone because the account admin page would be a different password so they couldn't get on there.

This doesn't even have to do with buying or selling, purely an account administration question. So if I change the account password, billing info, contact info, email. The original info can be called in to have the account password reset? This seems very strange to unlikely to me. I think the original billing info was on my girlfriend's credit card who I don't date anymore. So she could call blizzard and lock my account? She better not read this ...lol

To my knowledge Yes. She would have to jump through quite a few hoops such as sending a scan of a drivers license etc etc etc but you can ALWAYS get an account back. The main issue is that the account will most likely be perm banned after both parties start complaining about it to blizzard.

Like I said..best bet...is a solid power leveling service or just do it yourself. Typically Since I'm ashamed to admit this..I've hand leveled most characters to at least 40-50 I use a PL service to go from 1-40 grind..maybe even to 1-50 that way I have a mount and what not and I skip the grind I have done waaaay to many times.

IDK about it getting perma banned, i know someone who sold his accnt twards the end of Old WoW and then took it back before TBC, cause i guess the person never changed the pass or anything and then he sold it a year later or so

full S3/T6 geared warrior on a PVP server i think he got 1200 for it

 

[AntiFreze]

I have a T5/T6 Geared Rogue, a Mage ZA/Gruul geared, 60 warrior, 30 pally, 30 hunter on 1 account..... maybe I should look into selling ><

you really should reread your post

you're saying 4 days of gaming time in WoW over a period of 1 to 2 weeks...

96 hours hours of game time in 1 to 2 weeks is perfectly feasible...you might be misunderstanding the post.

 

[ViviTheMage]

You can get scammed, it is simple...I have used a few sites to sell my accounts, I do not think id ever buy one unless I knew the person.

 

[Vonkhan]

Hmm, I have a tauren hunter on a horde pvp server fully speced for pvp - a monster in any BG, 70% wins in arenas in a hunter-hunter combo

... but I want to buy a lvl 70 rouge or druid or warlock and I've thought a lot about just buying one but I'd rather give my $$$s to some1 who actually played the toon himself, not some soulless company flipping accounts for a profit

sucks that Blizz doesn't allow acct sales - but I can see why they don't allow it. Props to them

Cheapest and safest way to do this probably do the following if you want another character but really don't want to lvl it.

Buy another copy of WoW (can get the Battlechest I think for $30), but a copy of Glider (botting programming), then with another email that isn't the one on your current WoW account send one of those invites from account managment to yourself on the other email. Make sure the new WoW account has the same info as your current one, name and etc. You get 10 days trail I believe so you can set up your new character and get Glider setup correctly and start lvln. After the 10 day trail sign up and pay the first month, the account that you sent the invite from will be credit a month of WoW.

So now you have 30 days to bot a new character, you should be able to with no problems hit 70 in that time. When you are done, do a paid character transfer and take the new 70 and pay the $25 to move it to your original account. Cancel new account or keep active and make another character.

Total investment if you can do it within the month, is like $80 and you have a fall back account. If you bot smart you should be fine and not have any problems. Don't have to worry about anyone trying to rip you off this way.

Re: Botting. True Kaotik and I am very familiar with wowglider. I agree but I don't agree with the method. While it may be hippocritical of me say I am ok with buying and selling but not botting, I don't justify using a cheat program. I see people botting all the time, azshara used to be botville. I never really cared but I was not ok with myself doing it. Also wowglider can get every account on your IP banned. I know someone who used it on their account, but the ban stick hit both his account and his brother's who he used once in a while but did not glide on. I also confirmed this with a GM (whom I am personal friends with). Regardless, fear of getting caught is not the reason I refuse to bot.

Another reason I want to buy is because a botted character, or simply leveled character still has a TON of end game work to do. Gear grinding to even mediocre levels is terrible as is rep grinding and all the other goodies you get from an account that was played with TLC. I want an account that someone put time and attention into, not some prefab level 70.

It's not going to be long before every MMO allows open selling of accounts and services. You don't need to play second life or some korean MMO to realize this trend is inevitable.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

jeez.
i think i have access to two accounts. i dont think ill ever remember their logins. But...they are still connected to my email...

actually just one account now that i think about it...unless i saved the other account info in my gmail...

but i digress...

Dakels, I understand your not wanting to bot. The setup I had recommended was for Vonkhan since he has an established character and it is a lot easier to fix an alt up when you have a decked out main already

But yeah, botting always has its risks, but if you do it smart and don't just leave it on overnight when you sleep and such chances are you'll be fine.

I use to be heavy against botting but really after you have lvl'd up 2 or 3 characters and you just want to play a new class, the grind just becomes tedious and can make the whole thing not fun. You are just skipping all the junk you know by heart, but I do feel you really should level up your last 10 or so levels yourself to get very comfortable with the class and know the in's and out's of it fully. But right now, 1-60 is really a snore, even Blizzard knows this and has been making it easier to lvl lol.

 

[JBT]

Personally I sold one of my LOTRO accounts on Ebay with out a hitch. Made $250 off a single decently geard toon. I ended up getting back into the game a few months later and just created a new account and built it from scratch. Now I just PvP on the creep side so I only needed to lvl my freep to lvl 10.

 

[CalvinHobbes]

Buy another copy of WoW (can get the Battlechest I think for $30), buy a copy of Glider (botting programming),

I would imagine that Blizzard can now spot the Glider program quite easily so I doubt this would work anymore.

Did you ever think of just quiting when the game became a grind, instead of cheating?

Actually I did quite, I never said that I use Glider. I have all my characters lvl'd up by myself. I totally understand why people do use a bot though. I like grinding, I'm damn good at it.

For some people it's about the game inside the game and not considered to be cheating it's just another way to play the game. The game itself is dreadfully boring to me. Throw in a different element and it becomes a little more interesting.

Yes, hopefully it will be back in court again because there are serious consequences as a result of the ruling involving EULA's if the decision stands.

 

[Wuzup101]

^^^ Yeah, I hope we see that back in court again. We can't allow that to stand as case law... the decision (from what I read) was horribly flawed...

As for powerleveling, selling, buying, etc...

I have sold 1 account (my 70 rogue) because I just lost interest in playing so damn much. WoW is VERY addictive... and it was only fun for me if I played a lot. Playing casually was a snore... so I quit. I got $700 for that account back in the middle of season 2 (was geared in T5/4 + S2 PVP stuff). I'm currently working on selling my brother's T6/S4 pally (pretty much has the best pally gear in the game for both ret and holy with some very good prot gear too)... hoping to get $1200-1500 for it (have to find someone stupid... plenty of them out there).

I never used a power leveling service (or bought gold) or any of that. However, I was never one to have a bunch of alts. I can totally understand why someone would want to skip the 1-60 leveling grind... even as it stands now... with mounts at 30 and easier leveling. It still sucks, there aren't enough quests, quest density is a problem, gearing can be a pain, etc... For some classes (say druids) 1-20 is PAINFUL as all hell.

My brother did have a pally power leveled when he transfered servers... he just couldn't stand it after like level 30. He was going to have it leveled to 60... but the account was perma-banned for 3rd party software used by the leveling service. I wouldn't say that all you get is a "final warning" as I've had plenty of friends who have had their shit banned. If you do have this done... DEFINITELY have it done on a fresh account that doesn't have other valuable characters on it.

In any case, just be careful who you buy from. Absolutely make sure that you have all the account information, and I personally would plan to transfer the character to a separate account that you have exclusive access too (last name is needed from the bought account so you can create one with the same last name and xfer a character).

I recently have been dicking around leveling a pally (currently at 28) and leveling still sucks (even though the ret pally has great gear thanks to having my brother's toon to gear it with). He kills fast and has little down time... but it is still BORING as hell when you don't have many abilities. At least it's not as bad as a druid... where you pretty much just slap stuff with a staff for the first 10 levels (and then heal yourself and drink every kill).

 

[Shortass]

Powerleveling is weird, I wouldn't feel like I knew my character. Not the the ridiculous grind is necessary, but at least levels 60-70 should be played by the player.

Now if only I could sell my priest..

 

[LeetViet]

A seller can recall his account at any time -- even if the character is transferred to a new account.

You do not need to mail anything physical to do a transaction over PayPal. PayPal's protection policy does not cover the sale of virtual goods/services. When selling, you only have to worry about hacked PayPal accounts and credit card charge backs but there are ways to protect yourself.

The majority of powerleveling sites use bots.

If you purchase an account, you can secure your charecters by transferring them to a new account. This costs a bit extra, but then your charecters cant be retroactively taken away from you on a whim. Or you can have the seller pay the fees to transfer you the charecter BEFORE you pay. Honestly the only way to fully protect yourself is to get the account through someone you know and trust like buying an alt or just finding someone reputable in general. The anonymity of the internet plus the issues with non-tangible items equals opportunity for dicks to be... well... dicks.

 

[Xylitol]

almost everyone is a scammer. i tried to sell my account before, and i got scammed 4 times before I found a good buyer on my 5th try. I had to keep
getting the account back using my original cd-key. If i were you, I'd buy from a good friend or level up yourself.

here's what i experienced in buying/selling accounts

almost EVERYONE is a scammer (maybe not at the time, but they will scam you in a few hours, days, weeks, or months)

Get the person's phone # (check area code to make sure it is in the USA) and CALL it and make sure it's real.

be prepared to do lots of Paypal claims (most of which you'll lose in if you're the seller)

as soon as you get money from the person using Paypal, send the money to your bank account (payments are EASILY reversed). MAKE SURE TO DOCUMENT / SCREENSHOT EVERYTHING!

if the person speaks faulty english in the SLIGHTEST, don't deal with the person (it usually means the person is a kid with a single parent or a chinese/something else scammer)

all the person needs to get the account back is: the secret question
all the person needs to change the secret question is: the original WoW cd key / (if he/she doesn't have the original cd key), fax in ID

...I can't remember anything else really besides giving you advice to make your own lvl 70 / buy a friend's (you can transfer it off of his account if you make a new account with all his info)
