So not sure were to post this, Didn't see a bug forum location or to lazy to look for one sorry.
Also not sure if this is intended but maybe it should be looked into.
I was thinking of ways to make tons of credits via cartel market, and a thought crossed my mind,
"What if I had two accounts with a security key by using multiple devices then I would have more cc to save up and buy Cartel items fore resale after they unbind."
So I created a second profile to test this out, and guess what as a f2p account i could add a security key and was instantly granted 100cartel coins for doing so.
Now I only had one device on hand to do so with but it worked, now say I pay 5$ to make that account perrfered.
Now I can send the cartel items to another account. Now say I was a credit re-seller and I charged 5$ per 1000k or 1 mil credits.Every time I sold 1 million credits I could set this up with another account and save more CC.
Now make it large scale, 100 devices x 100 accounts = 10000cc a month thats 120,000 cartel coins a year or 1200per account, lets make it 2 years thats 240,000 CC or 2400CC now say all 100 accounts. That could add up to alot of free money, if you combind it with grinding daileys and heroics, fps and pvp, if you had say 10 people working 10 accounts for 10 hrs a day they could be makeing millions, then inturn earning millions by cc item sales then inturn sell the credits for $$$$ hmm kinda looks like a viable option to make money off an exploit.
But lets see some tips on fixing this issue, make a cap for credits like 5 mil is maxed per character, then that inturn limits gtn to a 5 mil cap on sales which would lower the in game ecconomy so items wont sell for as much, as less people would have credits to fork over.
Won't work, being that each alt toon can hold up to 5mil per, so they would just sell in 5 mil increments.
But what if we flagged all mail with credit transfers between diffrent accounts, and made it impossible to send credits via in game mail to characters not linked to your legacy.
That would eliminate credits by mail. And make re-sellers force to either trade face to face with toons, or trade by GTN sales Now with it down to those options that limits What you can sell for a high price, now whats to say every account selling buying credits is selling an item worth milions of credits. Limiting what they can legitamatly sell an item for. Now if GTN is monitored you can find those buying credits, like somone selling a grey item for 1-10 mil and give them a suspension to investigate both accounts.
Sounds like the more viable option, as you can reference the ip used for both accounts and keep tabs on it if it ever repeats the same action again. Granted you can alway change an IP with hacking, or forwarding through proxies and what not. But it sounds better then the first suggestion. Either way You'll decide if it's an Exploit or Intended.
