Thinking about it, I'm wondering if the level of CC fraud is so bad they've had warnings that they could be cut off by the payment processors?
That's an intelligent question! When you consider that they have created a system whereby players can make money just by playing, they have created a system that rewards the unscrupulous (put in a false CC#, loot and sell in the AH/RMAH, then transfer your loot to another character before the account gets banned).
The humor is that every attempt to weed out the unscrupulous has resulted in
more injury to the honest player. It is the logical extreme of any DRM, treating the honest player like a criminal. And some people are actually defending it (which leads me to question whether or not Blues has its own paid shill infestation)!
