If my 14 year old brother pays $15 a month for two years and gets his character to lvl 70 with epic gear and lots of in game cash, how can justify banning his account for attempting to sell it? We know its value and we know that you yourself have created a RMT market where that exact same virtual property sold last week for $500. A market that you created for profit. If you deny his ability to sell his character you are violating his rights. There would be no lvl 70 character named Max with epic gear and lots of cash if it wasnt for the countless hours my brother put in creating the character.
Are you saying that you alone own all of the IP? Or are you saying that you control the IP and recognize limited rights of ownership in the player? What would be your argument against my brother should he seek to protect his right to sell his character or items?
