From my personal experience as I read down this thread I immediately thought IP suspension. But what I find curious is that I log into peoples accounts all the time and sometimes they are from other countriesā¦ I dont know. Seems like its not that regular of a thing from my experience.
I still havenāt exactly figured out exactly why āsomeā accounts get hit with this and otherās donāt. My own PERSONAL theory; is that the account in question was already previous flagged Somehow. Be it by using MQ2, harassing someone, RMT, who knows? But something in their system automatically will pick-up, detect, flag, and suspend some accounts that swap IPs too fast. Donāt look at it as a, your account has been suspended for RMT, but more so, due to potentially fraudulent activity on your account, weāre locking it down to figure out whatās up.
Again, Iāve luckily never had this issue selling accounts by letting them sit for a week or so and then selling.
What Iāve learned about EQ in todays light, is that X does not always equal Y punishment. Every time you take part in an RMT, it is a roll of the dice on things you canāt control. This is why I try and emphasize doing everything you can to lessen the risks, itās still a % chance something wrong will happen, even if every precaution is taken.
Almost every time I see an āauto-banā like this when buyer tries to log into it for the first time, I think itās safe to say about 99.9% of the time itās an IP flag.
What would I do if an IP suspension took place? Easy. Once everythingās ruled out, issue a refund. Only then would I work on reclaiming the account from DB. If I do get it back, great, canāt sell it but at least it can go back into the army. If I donāt get it back, itās a profit-loss that I accepted the risk of when I got into EQ RMT.
EDIT: Just saw seller agreed to issue a refund to buyer by Monday, the 22nd. While I donāt understand and even potentially disagree with the 7 day wait, Iām glad it sounds like itās getting resolved. Keep us all posted guys. Remember, doesnāt sound like either of you was specifically attempting to be malicious, this is why no oneās angry at either of yaāll. This is just one of those, take a deep breath, shit happens thatās outside of our control and we just have to accept it and move on.
