No, it’s a suprise that it’s not fucked up by WG – to be honest, it’s the first fail not caused by WG.

And with FTR you see how it should work: If you fuck up something, you make a statement to correct everything.
WG states until today the server lags were caused by olympic games. And until today I wonder, if they are that dumbasses to believe that themselves or are WG people just human crap and liars?
Well for Paris staff we all know the answer, but what for the WG owner living in Cyprus because the of the “russian life style”?

So when you have a dubious, but _undisputed_ charge on a CC, based on some random computer algorithm, the account gets banned?

This is a fuck up by wargaming, no way around it. They’re still randomly banning accounts, and they’ll never stop. Maybe one day someone will take them to court over this shit.

Woah, flashback of watching my parents pay for things with checks and watching the cashier do the little back and forth swipey-rolley thing. Such a distinctive sound.

I’d be worried that they query this on a regular basis more than feel happy that they do so. Sure, the first two transactions but this seems OTT. Wait until you’re away from home and they start stopping the use of your card.

There was one story in the media about a credit card used in the Ukraine after that wreckage. If there were more stories the coverage would probably be bigger…

I bank with Santander, and me and my missus have a policy of “Tank’s for Teddies” She gets Charlie Bear teddy bears and I get gold/tanks in return. However an alarmingly good thing is happening, I go to the shop and pay for a teddy for her, come home and buy gold. 30 seconds later I get a phone call saying your card may/has been used in a fraud, please confirm your date of birth and these last 5 transactions. It’s got so predictable now I actually have the phone by my side and I am ready to answer after less than half a ring of the phone.

I had this happen.

I had a random 12k gold show up in my account. I knew I was not so lucky so I contacted WG right away and luckily I did because it was a goldseller who must have gifted me wrong gold. ALl the users got banned but me :)

These guys use fake/stolen credit cards then “Sell you” gold and you pay them with your legit CC number.

While this was of course a great tragedy on human scale, from the point of view of credit card fraud statistics this was as significant as a tree falling in Amazon forest.

Statistics are a google away, use them!
