At the beginning of this week, Epic Games appeared a collective Internet when it was found that certain suggestive emotions could no longer be combined in Fortnite. In other words, “Goooning” was banned.
A few days later, Epic re-illuminated the ongoing fire by notifying a sweeping level of recovery, especially on the Xbox platform, which will see accounts with fraudulent or returned V-Bucks or cosmetics that have their items completely canceled.
Several exploitation was discovered, then closed
On Friday, shared on social media, it was announced that items that were returned to Xbox or gifted through a fraudulent account were removed.
Shortly thereafter, the subsequent place remarked that the revocation concerned accounts that have provided a refund since December, or used the well-known exploitation involving false V-Bucks.
If it all sounds confusing, here's a failure.
For one set of circumstances, as one player noted, players would “buy” V-Bucks legitimately and then started a replacement via Microsoft. The refund would be processed and the V-Bucks to be removed instead of staying on the account and giving players a gap to get “free” cosmetics.
In another set, as described in detail by someone at Reddit, players would allegedly buy accounts that were loaded by V-Bucks, often in quantities that were much lower than the legitimate currency. Then they “donated” these V-Bucks to their main account. These accounts, almost always from the sellers of gray markets, were involved in fraud, which led to the abolition of all “gifted”.
Not only were there dozens of players not only canceled their items, but in certain cases it led to players having a negative V-Bucks balance due to a mass currency they didn't have legally. “You can reverse the negative V-Bucks balance by purchasing V-Bucks to cover the amount out,” remarks the post on the EPIC website.
It would seem that as long as the V-Bucks balance would not return to neutral, these players could not get new leather or items. Lessons in all these being, if it's too good to be true, it's probably. Also, you will not commit fraud.
