as if Blizzard didnt see this coming...

this is what happens when you make a so called "Limited Open Beta" (a.k.a. Closed Beta by people who know a thing or 2 about MMO's)

LOL id laugh if ummm they wipe which id say given all the people on the forums demanding a wipe is 50/50 at this stage

Neas

theres tons of them hehe.

You know that you can bid on them and not pay for them. Cause technically they can't sell something which doesn't belong to them. So when they ask for payment you just ignore them

That way they get screwed over and dont make 200 bucks....!!!

You just have to bid on it, then contact Ebay and tell them its an unauthorised auction explaining why. Thatll also get the seller banned :P.

most likely the bidders arent serious its the auctioneer (guy who is selling) who is blinded by his greed not to realised he is being taken for a ride .

Not so sure about that. Blizzard would really have to be part of ebay's VERO program. They let L2 players sell accounts and adena for months, even though they knew it was expressly against L2 T.O.S. It was only when NCSoft finally managed to join the programme, that numbers of account sales and adena sales dropped significantly.

In this case, the sellers will win..

Just as a further note to that, i would hope Blizzard are in the process of joining that programme right now, or will have by retail, otherwise they can expect too see massive listings in ebay...its a given, Unless of course they dont mind...

They limit total number of entries in Open Beta because they cannot afford paying bandwitch for THE HUGE community they have. It's plain simple.

Remember Blizzard is dragging a HUGE number of people behind them. People don't pay to play Open Beta, so it cost them more than enough, and they know it.
