Alright, so I'm ready to venture into the corp theft/ awox/ spy game. If I set up a new account using power of 2, will it show up as such with a full api provided? I don't mind funding the account's day-by-day purchases by buying plex to sell for spare change versus transferring ISk from another account, but I'd like to get the six months for three price.

So, what does full api reveal about the account's payment method?

Well, if you were getting plex in game from somewhere to plex your account, an API check may detect it. Beyond that, your probably right.

Yes, the idea was not to trade plex or give money to the new account, just to look like I'd fallen off the turnip truck. I'd buy plex with cash to fund the account needs.

I was unsure what the account status information returned from the api key was, because the similar information on the account management page is named differently. They show Active- Paying with plex and six month account or something like that. Not ideal, having to explain why a new character purchased a six month account, but at least it doesn't come right out and say Power of 2.

Thank y'all for the replies.

Full API shows everything, payment methods, credit card information, your real name and home adress, your phone number, what your dogs name is, where you work, at which time youre likely to go to the toilet and how long ago it was since your last successfull date.

Full API revealed my addiction to dwarf pawn which lead to me being sexually assaulted by a gang of little people. I've never been so happy and only slightly butt hurt.

PLEX in a can. That's how you do it.

This. In a system where your characters are the only ones in local, but in a region where PLEX are traded fairly frequently.

Or, (and I don't know for sure if this is detectable by more advanced API checks), send PLEX to disposable character on alt account, reverse redeem, and redeem on AWOX character, then delete the transfer character.

But anyone with half a brain can also spot those things on a full API check and will probably keep a close eye on you.

The character does not represent the views/opinions of its Corporation or Alliance.
