Well I have done NO WRONG just like all the people that can log atm....
Still NO WORD from MA, we must be all imbicils in their eyes.
Just because you haven't done anything wrong doesn't mean that you are innocent. You are not an imbicil in MA's eyes, you are a customer. They want you to be able to play. But, FIRST priority is ALWAYS the cash economy. This policy (locking ASAP) protects our money. They locked you because you are important to them.
They WILL lose some players now.. Just question how many.. MA lost some rep in my eyes..
In most players eyes, they have done the appropriate thing. I have spoken with a few friends, and they all agree that locking people up is best in these sorta situations.
The real issue is how other businesses look at this situation. I don't think any business would feel comfortable working with Mindark if the cash aspect of the economy is not secure. If these businesses see that Mindark took prompt and desicive actions to limit the financial liability caused by this, I'm sure they will come away seeing that Mindark is very good at fixing these situations.
Something that people don't always understand, or realize, is the amount of cash flowing through the system. There are MILLIONS of dollars exchanging hands (and TT's) every day. Stop and think about that. MILLIONS. Your account may only be worth a couple hundred dollars, or a couple thousand, or it may be worth nothing. But, because MILLIONS of dollars go through the system daily, people are ALWAYS trying to hack the system, or find an exploit. I can only imgaine the amount of exploit/hack attempts they receive. When one is found to have 'broken' through, they promptly stop it.
Some people would like to think it's Mindark's fault. But, maybe this issue was caused by the payment provider. Maybe some hacker wanna be at the payment provider plays EU. Maybe they saw a way to change things around a bit, and decided to go full boat on it, and gain an ass load of ped.
Whatever happened, I'm sure Mindark is handling the situation properly.
