Theft of money?
Sorry, watched that futurama ep last night
I actually have wondered how that would be procecuted if possible. It appears taht it would fall under internet fraud and be considered grand theft. Could you imagine if there was a way to track down hackers (although yes most are in foreign coutnries) and actually charge them with a crime. If you were to total the money spent on your account you could probably get them into some of the higher brackets fo grand theft charges. They determine grand theft by the value of items, so for example I currently have four active WoW accounts on my battle.net account. One is my original (four years) and one is my WoTLK second (about a year active) and two RaF accounts that have Vanilla and 60 day game cards. so that is approximately 260$ in boxed software, approximately 960$ in subscription fees, several race/server/faction changes that we will say is around 120$ bringing a total value in money spent at 1340$ in money spent. But I have 10 level 80 characters and soon to be 11, so how do you put a value on those. I have seen the Susanexpress spams in trade so we will use that as a baseline of 150$ per 80 so that is another 1650$ bringing our totatl to 2990$. Just imagine if we could procecute all of the account hackers, or even just a few dozen to scare the shit out of the others, maybe the bullshit would stop. Or, maybe if Blizzard just made authenticators manditory then we would not have this problem at all.
9 level 90s and 10 85s, Damn I need another hobby.
