It comes down to the same reasoning why we have to wait 60 days to gift out our premium it is the same concept and makes sense.
isnt it just like cutting your own throats???
how has it opened you up to fraud???
you have different methods of buying prem, some let you transfer and others to not.
If a customer fraudulently does a chargeback on a purchase we are able to reclaim the points or ban the account until they have repaid the amount.
yes some people may stoop as low as stealing a card to benifit themselves or others.
however that card must have atleast £1610 to buy 200k pp..
yes this may have happened in the past, or may be happening now. but the majority of players here which im only guessing 99% of them are are honest and not doing the above.
so if a player places the pp on the market and ask his friends to accept not only will his friends accept but anyone on the market could accept, does that mean anyone who accepts will be handling stolen goods. and if that is the case will all players which are involved be banned?
you say undercutting your business, however the person just spent £1610 on PP, he would have to sell at a higher price than what he actually bought it for and why would anyone do that??? when they could just go straight to INNO and buy it like that??
when a new world opens say 30k players join, and lets say maybe 5k of them buy premium of 1500 that is £19 per 1500 pp so inno would make £95000. and you are talking about 1 person who may under cut your business by buying 200k pp.
if a world lasts for say 2 years, and in that time you have 1 tribe with 60 members who each buys PP for both AM and Premium, 24 months using 9600 prem per player (about £80 per player spent) that is for the tribe £4800. that isnt including the new P2W features like fast build, instant build, flag purchase, cheap nobles and increased resource pits.
you have multiple servers across the world, even if you have a couple of people who will stoop to the point of theft to buy PP it wont harm the business to much, it would barely scratch what it is earning.
You are now contradicting yourself 1st of all you say that it isn't a hypothetical situation and now you're saying with made up facts. You have all these different teams doing different jobs. You say you can get to the true facts then show us, show us how many times let say in the last 9 months how many times situations of fraud which has happened.
About the credit card there are many types of cards. Some won't have limits while others will. I understand on the main pay method of putting details in and paying but on PayPal where you need to actually log in and pay then it seems a bit over the top.
I don't think you read what I said properly, there was no contradiction.
Just as if you'd asked any other private owned company, we're very obviously not going to release that kind of financial information.
If the points have been transferred to another account, that is no longer possible. The currency has spread. Now imagine someone purchases 200k of Premium Points every day using a stolen credit card and asks his friends to accept market trades for him. They then transfer the points back to another account. This account can now give away stolen points to all of his friends, or worse, sell them, undercutting us as a business. This is not a hypothetical situation - it happens.
I'm sorry you disagree with the restriction, but arguing with made up figures against a company that clearly has access to the true figures along with departments dedicated to analytics, fraud prevention, finance and payments won't achieve anything.
so this isnt contradicting yourself????
you say it happens and then say it is made up figures. how is that not contradicting yourself?????
you have all this data but you cant prove it us. it could be 1 case or 10k cases. prove it to us, that it does happen....
