I don't mean they were useless, I mean they were completely and utterly inept. I messaged them afterwards to ask them how it can be fun for them? And asked them, jokingly, if they'd bought the account. Surely this is illegal? They're from a reputable clan too - one that other forum members I know are in. What to do?

Even if you get a forum warning, WG will do other things. And you only get a forum warning, and maybe a 1 day forum ban.

Just remember that either way, they won't tell you. But UltimateNewbie is also correct: If you don't know about it, they *can't* do anything about it.

It's not like him buying an account makes him in any way better at the game, even if it is against the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're making money from a WG'ing product whilst not being WG'ing and not having WG'ing's permission. That in most countries is flat out breaking the law.

534 [WOLFD] Carl [WOLFD] Beta Testers 5,072 posts 1,514 battles Report post #11 Posted January 14, 2018 I don't even know where to start answering this, The fact that it's illegal should be enough for you to care. But even without that people selling accounts opens up all kinds of fraud and other issues, (the same way gold sellers in countless online games have for years), and it creates incentives for the affected companies to come up with more ways of dealing with such things which can quickly lead to serious inconveniences for normal players. Nevermind the effects of players doing this on gameplay, we have it bad enough with T8 premiums without T9 and T10 being able to do it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had a game together today - shatter, i was on the zao with my div mates in des moines and udaloi. You were in Missouri and got a huge hit on the Iowa :) Generally I wouldn't care about people buying accounts except for when they play CV. There is ebough skill disparity that ruins games with cvs in them already. Last thing we need is a Shokaku with 1 actual game to their name. It also violates the EULA which everyone agrees to.
