well i can guarentee you that all (maybe not all, but a ^^^^ number anyway) of those acounts for sale were stolen via keyloggers.

Thats probably why Anet is banning and suspending people for it (especially repeat offenders).

Well, selling accounts in itself is not illegal (depending upon your country), but violates Anets User Agreements, since technically, you don't "own" your account. Rather, you pay for the right to play, and hence, this right may be suspended anytime Anets wants to.

Which means, in a nutshell, that you may get banned for it.

no one does really but your technicly supposed to because you agree to it every time you play so you can say you didnt read it but you "sign" it each time you log on basicly so your in a contract
