A guy on our server was selling 24 buddy tokens for 25mil each.
As far as I heard, he was using an exploit, which was confirmed by a GM (according to someone who reported him).

Anyone has any idea how it is done?

Don't see any it could be exploited without exploiting pretty much any reward system similar, which I'm sure someone would have heard about by now. There is one guy selling 30 token on my server for the same price. Credit farmers start up like 10 new accounts a day or something, so not surprising that they have tons of these to sell, I hear this is one of their new ways of making credits to sell, from the buddy tokens and AT-RTs.

there is no exploit, it is called scaming.

They use fraudulent credit cards in order to purchase COA and the new trial with the buddy tokens.

They use two methods.

They scam a small percentage of their customers so they use their credit card.

Or they use small credit entities and create thousands of fraudulent bank accounts. Unfortunately globall collect(current swg method of payment) charges the money 5-15 days after the purchase. So they buy the trial/coa then they fastly tansfer to funds to another bank account(credit card) so there is no money when the charge arrives. and rince and repeat. When swg bills arives there is no money, But the token is or AT RT is already sold. So soe can't delete the fraudulent item because that is on the hands of a legit player. And they can't punish the chinesse farmere because the bank account was fraudulent.

anyway there are some shops who are legit, Who really buys the account, takes the token/atrt and takes profit from selling the credits.
But they can't compete against shops who are selling the tokens at 20mill or atrt at 11mill.
