	I followed a discussion in another thread recently about selling an account. I'm planning on selling mine once I complete all the past lives. So I started wondering. What's a good price for an account that owns all the content, and has a toon that is a full completionist: class, racial, epic and iconic. I'm thinking somewhere around $1000 - $1200 Thoughts?

	You might get $300-$400. If you don't have a lot of reaper points, expect less.

	Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

	why the sudden rash of people selling accounts? Anyway, pricing is very odd. As Tech said you might get $300-$400, which shocks me because I can't picture paying more than $150. Pretty much all comes down to what someone is willing to pay.

	Why are people leaving? Because the Devs listen to a bunch of useless motherfuckers that constantly cry on the forums about how they cant catch up. The power creep is getting out of control. I want all the reaper points he has, but don't want to work for it. He only got his reaper points cause he boxed. How are new players even going to be able to log on and play with all this injustice...it goes on and on.. So they bring out a totally useless rip off expansion with out any gear level increase and a bunch of retarded fey gear that's good for fuck all. Not to mention a total fuck up of the augment system. The useless MF on the forums struggle to get out of Korthos and get to 20 control the development of this game. So we have to play a stagnated game for a year so the flower sniffers can find unicorns to fuck...

Yeah, feywild was a rip, yeah the gear is crap, but I fail to see how the people complaining about not being able to catch up are driving long-established players away from the game. I, to, think it should be easier to catch up(why I boxed to hell and back), but I fail to see how my feeling that way will make someone else literally sell their account and walk away forever. Also, exactly what did they fuck up RE the aug system? So far I've observed it to be a VAST, TOWERING improvement over the old system. Augs now give bonuses equivalent to Cannith Crafting at level, making slotting decent skill/stat boosts possible. Adding +12 to an off-stat at cap in an otherwise useless slot is pretty nice.

	Slotting an augment is currently erroneously binding the item it is slotted into, and removing a slotted augment is causing the augment to become Bound to Character improperly. We are currently working on a fix. In the meantime, do not slot or unslot augments. Apparently they are patching this today.

I thought there was something inherent about the system that was bad.

	Just a guess, but rush to sell accounts might be tied to how many got banned and how some of those banned are jonesing to get back at it without the grind. Coincidentally, skipping the grind is why they got banned in 1st place. Match that with hard financial times and/or players who legitimately are done with DDO that might see a chance to cash out. Me, I would go around $1k, because bitches are jonesing hard right now.

	I am still looking to buy an account, so if anyone has one for sale, you can hit me up. Mainly looking for at least 1 character on the account that has (close to) all pastlives, and ideally a healthy reaper points pool. But even if you don't have all pastlives, I might be interested, I can do a few lives myself too of course.

	I was suspecting that these accounts were coming up for sale cuz dupers had side gigs eating some stones themselves to fatten up an alt to sell it.

Not likely. 3rd life+ you still needed about 4 hours total gameplay to get a life out of the way - not counting time spent acquiring the bare essential gear to complete these lives(master's gift aug among others). Plus, unless there's something I don't know, add extra for grinding out hearts. That means even with an unlimited number of boxes and potions, JUST heroic completionist = ~180 hours +156 more hours for Racial Completionist 336 hours for $1,000? Thats about 3 bucks an hour. Before expenses(remember the dupe cost to get all those boxes). Feel free to check my math but I doubt that's the origin of these accounts.

You do get enough comms out of the epic boxes to make it happen. That is only 45 of each box too, hmmm. Well shit. Noy you got me thinking I dunno, EPLs are probably worth a lot more though. Fuck, I got too many characters.

The fuck cunt? I didn't want a gear level increase. Yikes. I'm not happy with fey loot, but I do not want or need more power creep. Same for level increase - I've been present for every level increase and they've all sucked hard.
