Just a word of warning. Got 45'd today for buying a kunna for 200k. Was all my cash and had farmed it all.
Seller wanted only cash for the transaction, so I agreed to give him 100k + 29e to hold. Once he put the 100k in his bank, gave me back my 29e and I gave him another 100k. Didn't think much of it, other than the seller was a noob or a failed scammer.
Tried to log in a few hours later, and got the dreaded code=045. perma banned for selling gold for real cash.
4 hours later and several "wtf explain" messages to support. Got unbanned and a "sorry we made an error."
Just something to keep in mind when doing larger transactions. I'd like to believe it was a script that failed and not a person, but NCSoft wouldn't confirm any of the details.
GuildWars, where its ok to farm your own gold. Just don't spend it in game...
045'd / banned

This is getting stupid... Anet are really cracking out the ban stick.. If they cant design a script that can understand transactions over 100k then they need to make a higher limit for carrying cash on toons.

they been doing this alot its automated or something but they are quick to fix and apologize for it so alls good now

I'd rather have them be overzealous in banning and fixing it rather than too lax.

Are guys kidding me? You act like 50+ people a week are banned each week for trading gold to their friends/alt accounts/family.

any time I do a transaction involving ANY amount of cash I ALWAYS make sure to trade something (even if its just some bones or a dumb rune etc)...makes it look like you bought something .....
my husband and I always move stuff between our 2 accounts---he holds some items and I hold others....but just to avoid the ban mentioned above we always give something.
(there was a closed post last week from someone who had a very similar experience when he was given just plat----anet needs to check a bit further).

i think what would fix this is if a the scrip read what the trade was about. or just added a warning message when you trade at higher amounts. like once you reach 50k+ when you hit the confirm it says there is a chance you could get banned for this transaction. are you sure you want to submit?
