Account Linking
Account linking is unlikely to ever happen due to security reasons.
Account-bound items would then be tradeable providing accounts were linked, which could undermine the economy. It would also bring up issues if the accounts were linked without account owner’s permission, for example under the instance of RMT/hacking/gold selling.
The problems that account linking would cause greatly outweigh the benefits. Allowing it would result in mountains more work for CS.
Fair points, although I think the second is moot. If an account is compromised it’s compromised. Full stop.
Turns out I misunderstood how the package worked. There’s not an additional game code bundled with the pre-order so this post is pointless anyway.
