Log out and take their 3 to 5k financial hit or try to sell it and get a fraction back of what they put it to a player eager to use their account and have fun with it. Accounts are bought and sold on Evony 24/7. If people didn't buy, sell, and trade them, then evony would have about 10 players per server instead of hundreds. So I will disagree respectfully of course, but it comes down to them not wanting anything to be traded or sold because nobody is to make money on their games unless it is them. Yes, they ban players for selling stuff, however they ban maybe 2% of people, so if you ban 1 you need to ban all, but that can't happen or they would make no money. So in short, this game is run mafia style... no trading without their say so and they are free to ban anyone for any reason or no reason at all. I don't see this ever changing on Evony or Tynon. One day the developers will learn that when accounts for example are sold, the person that buys usually ends up continuing to spend money on that account so they would just be making more money. Food for thought.
It doesn't have anything to do with alts/cheating, if alts are what they wanted to remove then they would restrict logins via ip address to limit people to 1 to 3 household accounts or whatever. It's all about the $$$.
