With the ambition of “buying cheap and selling high”, many “merchants” of League of Legends are buying a series of accounts with more than 1,000 skins.
A few days ago, the new fanpage of League of Legends Vietnam (which will become the official fanpage after transferring the publisher) posted content related to the account conversion from Garena to Riot Games: Just a username enter and password.
Immediately, this content caused a stir in the League of Legends community, especially the group of subjects who had their accounts permanently locked, along with a group of “business-minded” players who wanted to gain illicit profits. from accounts with many costumes but “scarred” (missing information or permanently locked). The reason is that these players have a plan to “change their lives” with the ambition of “buying cheap and selling high”.
More specifically, the “dealers” are carrying the mentality of good luck, want to collect a series of LoL accounts that own many skins regardless of the locked status or lack of information, etc. They hold the hope that, when transferring, If you change to the Riot Games server, all those accounts will be “bleached” and “remade for life” – turned into a new account with complete information, “full of chest” costumes.
If these accounts can sync smoothly to Riot Games’ League of Legends server, the “merchants” will be able to sell them for many times the amount they bought. According to the market price that Game4V can look up, each account has more than 1,000 costumes but “scarred” will fluctuate in the range of 1-2 million VND.
However, before that, VNG as well as Riot Games announced that locked accounts must “settle with Garena first” if they want to sync to the new server. So many people think that the “traders” of League of Legends will hardly be able to gain illicit profits in this regard. Even many people think that when the accounts are not “bleached”, there will be a fraud situation because the “dealers” will sell the permanently locked accounts at the “cheap as gift” price.
