Recently, Mojang has done some really dumb things to us account sellers. What will happen to the account business now?

First lets talk about the least of our worries:

Unmigrated accounts need emails: Mojang put this in to stop account selling. Easy to bypass this lmao.

Onto locking of accounts:

What has happened in the past few days? Mojang felt as if they needed to start doing other stuff then making a dumb new update(1.9) which in my opinion is total shit. Marc_IRL led this locking. This is an outrage to account sellers. Why is minecraft still alive you ask? Its because of us. You charge $26.95 for a minecraft account. Semis go for $3-$5 or something like that here. We are giving people chances to play Minecraft. Not everyone is rich.

Things Marc has said and counters to them:

"Selling peoples accounts are just wrong" - How? Some people quit Minecraft and just want to sell their accounts for a few extra dollars. Yeah you guys have a EULA but its the worse one ever. The server part and account part are the things that make people stop playing Minecraft. Just like with servers, servers are a huge part of minecraft and if they cant support their server(cosmetics suck lol) the whole minecraft community will collapse. Accounts are a part too. Not everyone has $26.95 to throw at a game.

"Unmigrated accounts are cracked and stealing accounts arent right" - This is hard to argue against because of course stealing isnt right. But think about it. Unmigrated accounts are the accounts of people who lost interest in Minecraft. Migrating accounts came out YEARS AGO. Anyone who still plays would have the brain to migrate their accounts. But those people don't play anymore. We are recycling those accounts into the Mineraft community. The only reason you guys don't want this is because YOU don't make money. Mojang, you guys are money whores. Let your players be happy and maybe Minecraft won't fall that quickly. Account selling is a big part of Minecraft right now and you just stop it because you dont get money.

"Its against our EULA" - Your EULA is dumb. You guys have the section on accounts in there just because you want more money. You want people to purchase from YOU only. Let other people resell your accounts and let them make money. You guys just want to be rich and your players to not profit out of your game. Be nice please

Some other stuff:

"Lots of accounts get TID'd back. That means the owners are still active" - Their fault they didn't migrate their accounts lol

I will add more soon

tl;dr: Mojang, you guys should really think about your players and not yourselves. Your game will die without us

Sorry if theres grammer or spelling mistakes, i'm 11 lol

It's not the part that them blocking unmigrateds that bothers me. It's the fact that they're just locking accounts randomly, even when they're not being sold, and EVEN when they're somebody's original 26.95 premium acccount.
One. Random accounts? You either bought them, or you were planning to sell them.

If my neighbor forgets to lock his door, is it a crime for me to go rob his house? Of course it is. Stealing is stealing... you don't get to justify it (Except in the scenario in which it's nessicairy to help people, like robbing a drug store for medication needed to save a life, etc).

Tulip I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying you get to justify it in that scenario.

lol do you honestly think a game worth billions of dollars is going to "die" because a few hundred pissy kids can't make money off of it anymore? why would mojang give a shit about a bunch of kids from this website getting mad about not being able to sell their stolen accounts anymore? i'm sure they don't care at all about people like you quitting because you can't profit off of their game anymore and no amount of bitching and petition-making is going to change that. and i'm sure most of you will get over this by next week anyway and go back to playing the game

I agree with you. 5+ of my friends had their accounts locked. They could not afford 26$ so they bought a .25 account the game will die if people have to pay 30$
That's like saying games like GTA 5 and Rust would die if they don't sell their games for 60$ or 20$. Minecraft is a full game and they treat it like one by selling accounts for 27$. I got my favorite account 'Vegas' locked today but I still understand why they are doing it. If you can't afford 27$ you are REALLY doing something wrong in life.
