hi all well i had to take my canthan necro to tyria to cap SS
so i got to beacons perch and found a runner (this isnt a runner flame)
joined the team and well some guy starts saying ne1 wanna buy a factions code
i say
"dude, its illegal and u can get ure account banned"
he said
"its ok my m8 at anet sayed its kk"
so i took screenies of wat him and me sayed
i nvr used any bad language nvr flamed him i just repeated that i was illegal to sell a account code in game
so he said something like
"dont talk crap or ma m8 will ban youre account"
i also got the first name his m8
should i send the pics to anet or not, do u think he was talking crap, but with that threat at the end feel the need to send them
Should I??

if anything it sounds like "his mate" if he even exists, is impersonating an Anet employee, which is a highly bannable offense.
I would report it post-haste.

you're not breaking the EULA if u trade cd-key for in game GOLD. but i would be cautious because it's very easy to scam in these trades.

To OP.
This happens all the time, people claiming the know people from "A.net" or who claim they work for "A.net". If people do, just report them, or ignore them since its not worth the time or trouble.
Also we have a rule about correct and full English on this forum, please less of the shorthand. It makes the post sloppy and annyoing the read, and you run the risk of people not taking you seriously.
Plus its just plain lazy. haha
That is debateable, I don't think your allowed to trade a CD-Key for ingame gold or real cash.

which is why I tend to never use short hand in or out of game... lolLike I said, I would report the guy if you feel he upset you. No one should be allowed to push people around just because the 'claim' to know someone from "A.net".

I think trading a key for gold wouldn't be much different than trading real money for gold. It's still trading a real life product/resource for an ingame one, which is against the rules.

Selling accounts in-game is illegal, Gaile has specificially said so many times, there's no doubt about that. As for this guy, report him ASAP (like other said before). If he truely has a friend in ANET, who told him it's okay, then both he and his friend would get in trouble. The most likely thing is that he's lying, in which case he's guilty of two things: selling an account in-game, and impersonating an ANET employee.

i think we should ask a.net if it's illegal or not. as far as i know, it's ok. it's like giving sum1 u know something and they give u gold. i've never hears it's against the EULA because nobody is making money proffit fom it. it's a simple trade.
for example i've traded my diablo2 cs-keys got gw gold. same should go for gw cd-key for gold.

He most likely to get banned for saying he knows someone from 'Anet' who will ban you. That is a serious offence- report him.

(feel like a bot has been talking to me lol)Anyways report him because you got evidence, btw the dude I reported isnt banned at all although he scammed me for 90k (and I even had proof)
So there is no garantuee he will get banned....
Argen
Also remember, that not all bans are permanent. From my understanding, some bans are as short as 24 hours.
Ure Maker
and they say that they wont in form the person that the scammer/violator got banned, i think thats crap due to the fact that they could loose a gamer caus of it, so who would they rather have a dedicated gamer who would think to purchase more NCsoft products, or the scammer/violator who will buy the product but scamm people who will the stop playin
btw i was scammed out of a victos axe but i nvr got annoyed i found it funny ma m8 then proceed to follow him around a map and in a mission trying to trade with him for an hour straight, that was funny the guy wanted to give me it back xD
i also think that well Anet might take violators more serious than scammers im afraid, due to the fact that violators give a game a bad name, although i think if there is hard proof of a scammer he should be banned permenantly, and his ip so he cant go out buy another copy and start violating/scamming again
