It will be abused and farmed. Can we trust then to close all the loop holes?

Agreed. Although it sounds ideal, the negative ramifications would just be the end of this game.
If anything along these lines, allow shard donations.

Shard donations would be the worst, alt account farming would be crazy.

I think the best thing to counter alt account farming is to set a level requirement to use. Setting it higher even to level 85... would surpress that motivation.

I agree there are many solutions. But can we really trust them to close all the loop holes. We have seen many "obvious " exploits pointed out hours after they release content.

I think it's a bad idea and would never want it... but isn't this a "trading card game"? And only EA gets to make money, if I've paid a lot of money to get what I have in game, shouldn't I be allowed to sell my maxed characters? It's like Magic saying I can't sell one of my cards to someone else, only magic is allowed to sell cards to people. Does EA have a legal right that I can't sell my digital property in a market place to someone else?

What?

Where in any game do you have a legal right to do anything, the game doesn't let you do?

I guess you could compare this to a trading card game but there is no trading, and we don't deal cards......so, yeah.....

Read the terms of service, specifically the part about content and entitlement.

You actually own nothing it's not your digital property, you're just using an EA service.

If I spent $100 on a force awakens bundle, don't I own those characters as my digital property?

No, read the terms of service.

Nope, you "own" the game. When you play a game and buy a digital download, that doesn't give you any right to sell any content....
