I might sound like a total idiot/moron, but I might as well ask

When people advertise that they are buying accounts for like - All 3 = 700k; Trial = 350k; Factions = 600k

Is this a scam? Cause I see it all the time and it gets annoying.

Has anyone ever successfully completed a trade like this?

It's a scam, and it's against EULA, and if you try and report them you'll find they've changed districts before you can copy the name to avoid you doing just that

They may change districts too fast for /report, but if you submit a support ticket, NCSoft will sort them. They can run, but they can't hide.

As was said against the eula

if you tried to pass in game then thats the reason..

But there is no need for this as

They are still giving trial versions for free..so if your friends wish to try then send them there

Those people that want trial keys do so because they make accounts from them to do illegal (against the EULA, anyway) stuff on. ANet must have a way of tracking those trial keys back to your account, and banned you.

Trial keys are for friends, not random EULA breaking people.
