Hi peeps. got some qns on how to buy a gw2 account and transfer ownership safely.
Other than changing the email and getting the cdkey, is there anything else? Is it possible that the seller can regain control of the sold account, just by sending a support ticket, since he knows the cdkey and new email of the buyer? Unless the buyer changes the email once more (so that the seller wont know which email is tied to the account)? |

what deimos said, unless you really trust the person you're buying from, its better to just pay a bit more for a new key. Green man gaming site gives decent discount from time to time if you're looking for bargain.

I happen to COD, doesn't mean 100% fraud free tho. Quickly change secondary email on the temporary mail, GW2 password, and temporary mail password.
Maybe you can ask the ID of the seller, or find out more about seller. I think at the end its about getting good seller. I recommend for 2nd hand  Edit: I think the sucks part that you can't change the username of 2nd hand acc, lol This post has been edited by Vk21: Jan 28 2013, 07:11 PM |

if you must buy a second hand account, make sure :
1. you verify that the account is still accesible. meet up the seller if you must. verify on the spot, face to face. 2. the seller must be willing to surrender the email account related to the account to you, and the email account will be yours. 3. the seller provide all the details related to the account purchase ( serial key, email used to purchase if digital version etc) ... those are all i can think of right now... |

QUOTE(whatsayyou @ Jan 28 2013, 02:44 PM) Hi peeps. got some qns on how to buy a gw2 account and transfer ownership safely. Okay firstly you need to know that buying 2nd hand account is breaking the ToS, arenanet don't bother at all actually but if something went wrong, like the seller suddenly submit a ticket to reclaim the account (because he have the serial key, purchase prove and etc) he can easily get it back, and you? You can do nothing because you don't have access to those. Other than changing the email and getting the cdkey, is there anything else? Is it possible that the seller can regain control of the sold account, just by sending a support ticket, since he knows the cdkey and new email of the buyer? Unless the buyer changes the email once more (so that the seller wont know which email is tied to the account)?  Okay back to topic, make sure you changed email/password to yours, enable GW2 Auth app(optional) and ask the seller to forward the transaction & serial key email from Anet to your email so you have something as prove in case something happened in future. Be very very careful when buying used accounts, good luck! |

Affiliation Wars 2 offers stacks of hypnotizing and finely made substance to its players. You can encounter the universe of Tyria and offer in astounding occasions and impact the driving forward living story that keeps the game amazingly alive. There's a lot to commitment in Guild Wars 2 https://mmoauctions.com/guild-wars-2/accounts, yet to get to all that you either need to pound through the early game and it will require some theory. There's another way in any case, you can basically purchase GW2 account which is beginning at now well-made.

Hot/pof ready Cute rat characters for adoption Ascendeds on multiple characters Classy names PM for API 100 is okay, listening to offers. Just mail me I'm not selling for profit, even making a loss here. just want someone else to enjoy the game. anet nerfed my main every update for years. not happy /wrist will change email to a new one for you/change to whatever email you like, and if you're in kl can even bring your laptop to my workplace I give kdnhep approved letters so you can be identified as an approved contractor xD or I can come over to handover account at your place. I still have couple other HoT accounts with basically enough stuff to do content if one day I get bored. |
