Where are the pins?

Why arent people allowed to sell membership pins anymore? I really need a membership pin, but i only have $6 paypal, so i cant buy it directly from the site.

 

It is now account upgrades. Now, they just sell upgrades and you will still be able to buy one.

 

Pins are now known as account upgrades due to legal reason. Mostly so Sythe doesn't get sued. You can still buy membership for your account but only in the form as an upgrade. The difference is that the up grader puts the membership on your account. Generally no difference besides a minor annoyance.

 

A lot of the PINs obtained were obtained using illegal methods. Since Sythe was being used as the pathway to sell these PINs directly, Sythe itself was assuming the legal risk. The way it's done now transfers the legal risk onto the individual upgrader.

Changed for legal reasons. You can pretty much use the system as normal.

 

Not quite true. The current system involves a lot more inherent risk. Being scammed in PIN sales means just getting a bogus PIN... You ended up losing the $3-$4 that you spent on the PIN. Being scammed in an upgrade means your account/items are compromised, which (in the case of my own account) can value up to $300-$400+.

Fortunately, Upgrade sales have many 100% trusted members like Destiny.ch, King Tijn, etc. as options to eliminate the scamming potential.

 

That was sometimes the situation before. A lot of people insisted on having access to the account. Plznate i think asked for access too if i'm not mistaken.

 

they are account upgrades now .
