  • (Quote) You're right that selling names (or any in-game items, services, accounts, whatever) for real-world currency is against the rules and a bannable offense. Where things get a lot more grey, though, is selling names for in-game gold. Technic…
  • (Quote) I also don't remember a case where we've outright not gotten an update or feature as well, even in the past. So no, I don't think they can "choose" to not get a feature once it's in the build, exactly. I do know that, for exampl…
  • (Quote) Well, the problem is that if you really push that front, there are lots of ways of solving this problem. For example, J-TERA is having a name-release at the end of August. But after the name-release, there's a period of about one month wh…
  • (Quote) It does say in the news post "(The policies for PC may be different than for consoles.)" so at least there is some hope. I'm not too worried about Console players being "jealous" because most of them won't be adversely …
  • (Quote) Have they actually said anything yet about the details about the PC merger and name release? There's information about console, but AFAIK the information on PC is still TBD. At least I haven't seen anything posted anywhere yet. On consol…
  • (Quote) This is basically the important point. As a time-limited thing, it makes sense since they don't have to worry about porting back anything. Just let it be "as is" for a limited time, and then patch it to the latest version and al…
  • (Quote) Honestly, I don't think that would have worked. You'd have to then be able to make the case that the harm caused by this is equivalent to drugs or human trafficking, and therefore should be illegal in the same way, and... well, at least I …
  • (Quote) It's just different for each game. If you go on the forums for these games, you'll always find people with routing problems, and almost always it's "I'm not having a problem with it's just this one" -- because, for them, it is.…
  • (Quote) This is a complete side-topic, but the forums are run by a third-party company (Vanilla Forums), and there seems to be some sort of bug/issue right now. I've noticed that if you refresh your browser after the sign-in process, it'll usually…
  • (Quote) I got into a debate with someone about this issue once. I was making your general argument (name selling is bad for customers and should be firmly forbidden), and the other party took the free market position. They argued basically this: …
  • (Quote) Yes, non-dyeable for Elin was since it was also in another bundle, but the non-dyeable for the bikini/golden speeders (for other races) wasn't.
  • Realistically, the amount they can do to fix ping spikes for people in Brazil is almost nothing. The problem is probably either at the ISP in Brazil, or in the connection between Brazil and the United States. EME can't call up any of these guys an…
  • (Quote) I brought this up too. I suspect this is supposed to be in the "Dyeable Bikini and Golden Speeders Smart Box" but this wasn't on the daily deals (and neither was the non-dyeable one). It might be because this box does not work f…
  • (Quote) Although spending money on a game doesn't make you an investor, you are right. That is the ultimate responsibility of the consumer: to stop patronizing businesses that don't meet their needs and to ideally let them know why that is so they…
  • (Quote) Ultimately, knowing who to "blame" shouldn't really change anything, though. Let's say on the one hand you find out that every decision is centrally-managed by BHS and EME is literally powerless to do anything but what they're to…
