Is it safer to transfer to a mule then main?
I have been asked this question too many times. So I will make a thread about it and you guys can post your opinions.
This is my answer, if you purchase anything offsite (out of gaiaonline.com) then it's against the TOS. It doesn't matter if it's legit or whatever, they will still count that as offsite trading. This makes it a 50/50 chance of getting ban. Plus, if you transfer the stuff to a mule and later to a main, that's evading a ban. All accounts will get ban. That's the risk you take when trading offsite.
MY SOLUTION (Read disclaimer):
If you have a legit account that isn't link to any hacking/phishing, then you have a higher chance of not getting ban when a hacked item was transferred to your account. The gaya mod will probably just reverse the item from your account and/or give you a warning.
