I got some spam, and (purely out of curiosity) i clicked on it and it was for buying warcraft accounts. So I start scrolling down, and what do I see? 3 almost identical lvl 70 orc shaman, with sequential ID#s and an almost identical description. Kinda sad that one of our own stooped to selling their accounts. I wonder how quick they will all get banned? I would feel sorry for the schmuck that buys em, but if they break the rules, they deserver what's coming to em.
I only hope that this doesn't catch on, as it will just give boxing a bad name, and I love this hobby! I don't want it to go away.

They might not be "boxing" accounts but it sure appears that way. Looks like someone leveled/boosted 3x shaman just to sell em.

There's no benefit in buying them since the originating account will not match the buyers--and it will only take 1 report to get them banned.

Problem is , some don't know what they don't know, and buy thinking that's just the way it works, to bad for them that get caught and locked if they didn't do their homework before they sent the money though. Caveat Emptor.
But yeah, if you reading this, or someone you know is doing this, please GTFO. :thumbdown:

You can't sell what you don't own. Blizz will catch on -- I just hope they catch on BEFORE some ignorant buyer wastes his money just to get banned.
Furthermore, it's very possible the accounts were botted. Blizzard doesn't really care if you name your characters the same, and the "great starter gear" means they're in quest gear/greens. Naming your characters the same doesn't imply multiboxing, though it would be sad to know someone who multiboxed was breaking the rules in this fashion and potentially giving the rest of us a harder time reputation-wise.

I dont support ebuyed accounts but atleast in the EU blizzard is pretty slack with botters and account selling.
Most bots theese days are so hard to seperate that you wont see a difference from a bot and a newbie player.
Ive seen a movie of a priest bot that does like a normal priest.
It heals anyone nearby under 80% and manaburns casters when no one is in need of a heal. It mounts and takes seperate routes each AV and changes on playing defensive and offensive. Random times it defends FW gy some it runs straight to Van and heals there.
Made me wonder about how manny bots there are out there when i saw that movie...
