Sadly its was not a *random user abuse* its was a literal criminal organization that laundry money with stealed credit card.
When you have hundreds of people who have nothing to do with BDO asking for their money back. Complaint and lawsuit.
Pearls Abyss cannot legaly like all companies with a head to be the tools for a criminal organization. If the gift would have remained active , doing nothing will makes them complicit.
thousand of people used these services. people where the money used provenance was not important, they don't care, they can't be sued.
Pearls Abyss yes, can receive prosecutions. Because they are the ones who receive the money that has been stolen.
Bah, you talk like PA would do something new here, that's totaly not done by others since decades...
oh..
wait...
They are simpyl too lazy to bother with it...
I doubt it will make a come back, it's one of the reasons why I didn't hold another "Gift of Giving" Christmas event, this or last year.
And having the GMs manually deliver items to players was much too tedious and time consuming, as much as I would like it back, NA players exploited it way too much.
