Some netizens broke the news that NetEase's real-name administration may deal a fatal blow to the World of Warcraft studio:
At present, many individuals engaged in account trading (commonly known as "account traffickers") are facing the problem of a large number of duplicate accounts that cannot be logged in. In the process of creating these duplicate accounts, due to the large number of accounts that need to be processed, they usually use virtual mobile phone numbers for registration.
However, even if these individuals have a copy of their ID, account password, and all the other necessary information needed to register, they will not be able to complete the login process without receiving a mobile verification code. In addition, facial recognition verification is required in some cases.
As a result, this has led to a lot of anxiety at the moment, especially before the domestic servers were shut down, and some of the big dealers were making more than eight figures in profits a year, which was a huge loss for them.
Also, regarding the situation of the Asian server, do any experienced players know if the character transfer and merge feature still exists, and before the domestic server was shut down, there was a vulnerability in this feature that allowed the mount transmog to be brought to the new Battle.net through character transfer, so as to achieve the purpose of continuously duplicating accounts. This approach has been exploited by some.
In particular, there is one dealer who has thousands of accounts containing rare replica mounts, as well as hundreds of accounts that cannot be logged into, such as "Blizzard Bear" and "Yellow Forest".
It's worth noting that this vulnerability was first discovered by a Russian, and it's hard to go into details here, but I'm sure those traffickers will agree with what I'm saying after seeing the description here.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that on the Russian server, there are also accounts with full-season dragons.
Xiao Detective's opinion: Although NetEase's real-name mandatory real-name authentication has indeed caused great trouble to many players, especially those players who did not have an ID card because they were too young and registered an account with a virtual ID card or phone number on the Internet, but this super salary draw has far greater damage to the studio than ordinary players.
After all, the player only loses an old account, and the studio's loss may be tens of millions of yuan in revenue.
Of course, players don't have to worry about the problem that their accounts can't be retrieved, and Xiao Tan believes that it is definitely possible to distinguish the difference between "real players" and "studio mount copy numbers" through technical means.
Let's take the simplest example, if an account insists on recharging monthly cards for several years, and players can provide recharge rollover, and even have some game records for the year, it is definitely a favorable means to get back to the account!
Xiaotan believes that NetEase will introduce powerful measures in the next few weeks to respond to the concerns of players who have not found their accounts, so you can pay close attention to it!
Hopefully, NetEase can find the best of both worlds!
