IDK what is required to open a trial account, but just make it require a CC to open the account (or 14 day return for old accounts) and start banning CC numbers. Problem solved.



Wal-mart green dot card.



Yes because these people will gladly travel hundreds of miles to the closest Walmart in China to get a new card each time their old one gets banned.

Hell even if I had one next door to me the hassle wouldn't even be worth it just to spam your site 2-3 times before you get banned.



They sell those cards @ many different stores Wal-mart was just a example.



Let's not act like these plat selling companies are making money hand over fist. They probably make AT MOST what a typical minimum wage 20-30 hour a week job in America would pay. Every time they spend $15 and get that CC banned they have to make another trip to the store wasting more and more time. After a few times I am sure they would consider the risk/reward just isn't worth it.

We are talking about DAoC anyway the game is a non-factor for plat sellers anyhow.MMO's that actually have a healthy population I could see people stacking up on those cards IF that was a factor is the first place.

IP bans wont work... they can proxy.

CC bans wont work... they can spoof CC numbers.

Mythic would have to actually charge the monthly fee up front to stop some of the spammers.
