Opinion: The transaction of Hypixel items violates rule 5.4

[EvolvedPanda]

I don't know if this is allowed. If this is not allowed, feel free to delete it.

(Unpopular) opinion: If the transaction of Hypixel items violates rule 5.4 Do not offer or sell anything you do not own or have the right to redistribute, then technically selling Minecraft accounts is also selling something we do not own or have the right to redistribute.

"Similarly, selling accounts is also not allowed and is against our EULA. For more detail on the specifics of the EULA, read here." (Direct quote from the minecraft.net page).

So these two clearly contradict each other in terms of rule 5.4. If a staff member could weigh in on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Selling Hypixel items can potentially get you banned, similarly, selling Minecraft accounts can get you locked out of that account permanently with no support from Mojang.

Both are risks that we are taking when making these transactions as they both violate the EULA of each respective company. It does not make sense why one is allowed and the other is not.

*Disclaimer, I have no clue about anything*

This is how I see it. Mojang has clearly shown they don't care about the commercial server community. They push us down with the EULA and lack of version compatibility. So, I feel as if our community needs to protect each other and our services. While Hypixel is a huge entity, they still are apart of our community as a commercial server so we should protect their intellectual property.

Meanwhile, Mojang has already made plenty of money off of the countless MC accounts in existence. And they are meanies.

tldr; Don't feel bad for the big guy
