"would you give me the number of your credit card? your bank account number?"
Not to you. only a moron gives out cc info to an individual. lol thats what paypal is for.
" They turn around and use your CC info to buy accounts in this and other games to farm more gold with. "
INCORRECT! Paypal and other similar credit card processing systems never reveal card info to the sellers!
"it is costing the gaming company tens of thousand of dollars in reverse charges and lost gaming revenue for accounts they have to cancel. It is costing your credit card companies as well. "
Really what are your sources for this info? lol you have just named some figures off the top of your head.
I can sell one of my higher my chars right now on ebay and make some quick cash. Fighting against trade is pointless. I constantly sell unlimited accounts for 40k in gold. Does that make me a bad person? lol
"it hurts everyone else playing the game and you as well."
It doesn't hurt me one bit. I like being able to buy anything i want.
"They own the game, not the players. There is no mob or item that is safe, they get it first and for cash will sell it to you. Getting lovely spam messages like this " yes, yes, you buy coin, you get pretty item, good armor weloveyoulongtime".
Honestly its a nightmare."
Ok , well how does that mean they own the game? Thats no worse than a hundred random friend invites from lvl 1 noobs.
"I could see Disney doing some sort of external exchange type service. That might work, but again, if real money exchanges hands I would worry."
why would you worry? because perhaps you aren't wealthy and dont want some rich kid to have what you can't?
That's just part of life.
