EULAs hold no true meaning until they have been tried in court. The courts are becoming increasingly aware of the loss of rights written into these pieces of legal crap and, when suits have been brought, the courts have been siding with the consumer. Take a read here: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2243185,00.asp .
Blizzard's WOW EULA takes away your right to the courts and a jury trial and forces you into arbitration; although, I'm sure a judge would find this unenforceable as it is really to the detriment of the consumer and places Blizzard (and all other companies writing these kinds of EULAs) in a superior position.
To the post topic, I don't see the problem with morons who choose to pay real money for virtual items. I prefer to find my items through good old fashioned gameplay, but people should have the right to sell these items for money if they so desire and stupid people should have a right to purchase them.
OK tell me, what is unclear about this?
Accounts are property of Blizzard.
Selling Blizzards property for cash without Blizzard's consent is illegal and immoral.
Yes it is hard to enforce, but the consumer has NO RIGHT to be selling items for cash.
They can report E-bay support and they will shut the sale down...I think.
or track his/her Ip/ISP or something and ban him/her permanently, I hope.
There is no way to shut them completely it's like hackers you can never win in the long run cause in every system there is a backdoor.
IP's can easily be spoofed, so banning an IP would be almost impossible. The only way would be to prevent ebay from permitting the sale of Blizzard stuff... like the cult of Scientology did (except they also got a full user list as well).
I'm pretty sure there is no foolproof way, but making it really inconvenient is better than nothing.
