RaF Two-Way Veteran -> Recruit, Recruit -> Veteran Possible?

[Itomok]

Since the new system of being able to recruit an existing account if it's less than 30 days old I was wondering if anyone tried this.

Example: Create accounts A, B. Account A recruits account B then B recruits account A.

Now I know that if this is possible there's no benefit to it as far as adding time because in a normal linear chain of A->B->C if you add time to C only B gets the free month and that free month doesn't count towards the requirement of adding time to B for A to get a free month. However in the case of granting levels, instead of only the recruit being able to grant up to the veteran - in the case of a circular link both the veteran would also be able to grant to the recruit since both are veterans and recruits at the same time. Same applies for summoning.

I wish I tested this myself because if it is possible and it gets out I'm sure Buzzard would flip a biscuit and have it fixed faster than the pet battle exp craze.

wow!
never thought about this! But I think blizzard has protected this somehow.
I this has nothing to do with it, but I do know is that you could send out an invite to yourself and accept it with the same account.
there will nothing happen so I think this will be the same

what I think will happen is that when A send RAf to B and B to A that the first one who accept the invite will be the veteran

No you cannot, the email needs to be recruited and with that recruitment a new account is made within your bnet so no you cannot do that as it would create a new account instead of just linking account A to it.

That's where the new system differs. If you send an RaF invite to the email of an existing BNET account and that BNET account has a WoW account that was made within 30 days then you are given the option to select that <30 day old WoW account for the RaF link instead of creating a new WoW# trial. Unless that is their way of preventing this specific idea by automatically adding a new trial and not giving the option to select the existing account.

Itomok is right
blizzard has created a video on youtube about this and explaining the new system

Been creating lots of new accounts recently so this was easy to test.
I just tried your method and it created a new starter edition without any option to link to newly created <30 accounts. There must be a check in place to ignore any existing RAF flagged accounts.

Oh well, was a good idea though .

QQ but ty for the confirm. I've never actually seen or recruited an existing account, just read how it was done. Have you done it before?

Yup a few times now. Nothing to it really, just an extra selection option after following the email link.
