Apparently there's a scammer out there suggesting he has access to my account or is me and is trying to trade it for a Hunter in greens. Assuming he successfully scams someone, they'll probably try to blame me. Anyone know Nost's policy when it comes to this kinda shit? I'm sure whoever he scams will try to report me, so don't wanna get rolled up.

I feel The fear of getting permabanned on this server is growing throughout the community. Seems to me people feel that the GM's take action first ask questions later. I feel it too whenever I see two thorium nodes spawn next to each other....is it a bug?

I'm completely sure he doesn't have access to my account, what I'm worried about is someone reporting my character and then just getting banned without merit; much like what SloppyBeaver covers. Hopefully someone claiming to have ownership to an account isn't enough for a ban without proof, so this is more of a post for posterity in case something bad happens.

There is nothing specifically covering this, as you could imagine. There is a temp ban for staff impersonation and there is this:
Update:
* Scamming and COD Scamming will now lead to a permanent ban, including all the accounts involved in this kind of behaviour.
...for basically any kind of scamming it seems, guilty by association is the defacto law of the land.
I can't see how anything would happen to you..unless, you and the scammer just happen to be on the same IP. Or your account was signed into from the scammer's IP. There would be no other wy to prove your's and his account have any relation.

viewtopic.php?f=45&t=11569Q: If I know my game account's password and can login, is there a way I can change it instead of requesting a reset from the website?
A: Yes, there is a chat command to change your game account's password in the game itself. Once logged in and actively playing your character, it is highly recommended to enter an instance by yourself and type the following command in your chat window using /s:
/s: .account password oldpassword newpassword newpassword
".account password" is the chat command to initiate the password change process. "oldpassword" is your account's current password. "newpassword" is the password you want to change it to and must be entered twice for confirmation. For example, if your current password is "Thrall123" and you wanted to change it to "Garrosh456," the chat command would be entered like this:
/s: .account password Thrall123 Garrosh456 Garrosh456
The reason it is highly recommended to do this in an instance by yourself is in case if you accidentally mess up the chat command, you don't /say your current password to nearby players. Being in an instance by yourself ensures there are no other players around to see your account's password in the chat channels.
Pretty much the worst account security I've ever seen in a game. I'm really surprised there aren't more catastrophical threads here regarding this.
Admins should feel ashamed for it.
