Welcome to MCTrades, the modern Minecraft marketplace. Why not stay a while to chat, trade, and earn by registering?

    I'm prepared for salt. A few of my friends sell alts, but here's the thing.

    Alts aren't real work. They're a cheap way of obtaining money by cracking accounts that don't belong to you.

    Why should this be any different from a member of MCTrades being hacked? Along with that, we've lost multiple reputable members due to all of the people who scam from alt/account selling.

    This would bring us one step closer to minimizing scams as well as gaining users from competitor forums, slowly making them die out.

    If they get rid of alts, then there is LITERALLY no reason anyone would join this forum.

    -1. Managing a successful alt business is hard. Harder than a lot would think.

    If a forum grows off of hacked accounts, then I'll gladly leave. That shouldn't be the main factor why a forum is popular. This isn't MPGH and I had higher expectations than for it to stoop this low just for member count.

    Well, it is growing because of that + the fact that there are so many people here that are banned on mcm, primarily for scamming.

    Example, you.

    I wasn't banned there for scamming. That's the thing. People have to find other websites because MCM bans for ridiculous reasons.

    Overall, most of their bans are fair. But I do agree, they do sometimes ban for ridiculous reasons.

    I dont know if you are a scammer or not honestly, I just saw you were banned.. I hope youre not a scammer :(

    Maybe you should actually look into things before accusing people.

    Stop being so childish about something that doesn't matter. Altselling is a business which I respect, no need to get rid of it just because you don't agree with the concept. It was the same with ghost writing.

    Do you respect people hacking forums or members on places like MCTrades? I don't see a difference between that and hacking innocent people's Minecraft accounts that they paid $26 for.

    A lot of people come to sites like this for the sole purpose of being able to sell alts. -1

    To be completely honest, the MCT's traffic will decrease dramatically if the alt section is removed. Why? Because there is a different forum exactly like MCTrades but bigger, and more populated. One of the reasons that MCTrades stands out is the alt section. Since other competitors do not have this section, many tend to join MCT to gain benefits of selling alts. Without this section, MCTrades will not be unique.

    Yes, but alt selling is our only difference here. I'm saying that I might as well go to a bigger community which does the same thing.
