    Those fraud measures will boost the key prices since you can't buy and sell keys anymore. You'll have to wait for 7 days between zen store purchase and item unbinding. If you make it for 7 days with keys, you're clearly a strong willed individual.

    Basically, this will increase the EC worth of the cstore goodies, will force people to purchase via zen and will ruin the ferengi of this game. Call this a bogus claim. Smile
    Truth is uncomfortable most of the times. That's why you gotta face it every time.

    That's IF your account is flagged for suspicious activity. The 7-day hold does not apply to every purchase by every person. If you're not buying hundreds of 20-key rings (for example), then you shouldn't notice anything. In theory.

    In all the years I've played STO, I've only ever run into that anti-fraud thing once. I believe I bought a C-Store ship and didn't care, but I was diligent enough to notice the warning that popped up.

    I didn't notice myself, but if my friend's experience is anything to go by they clear the flag fairly quickly (unless there is actually an issue).
    They probably review the account as they are flagged, my friend's account was cleared by the next day or so.

    If you don't buy anything while the flag is there then nothing gets bound at all, and this change wouldn't affect you.

    If anything this increases supply, because now anyone who accidentally buys things while flagged (missing the warnings) will eventually add to the supply instead of not having those items enter the market at all.
