DMM deactivation proof

[aSock12]

Is there a way to prove that DMM account was deactivated (except for email)? I wanted to buy an Identity V account, but it had a deactivated DMM bind, which is rather risky....

Here's some general advice,

If your gut feels any discomfort at all, don't do it. If you want some peace of mind with your trade, please use TG: https://www.epicnpc.com/tradeguardian/

Aside from the excellent general resources already provided by the mod, specifically speaking, there’s no way to prove it was that exact DMM account that was deactivated, even with an e-mail as proof. Since you can’t log in to a deactivated DMM account, you’ll never be able to verify if it was the one attached to the account you’re trying to buy.

You can literally make a DMM account and deactivate it instantly to get the e-mail as proof of deactivation. The only time the e-mail provides any vaguely tangible evidence is when you are aware of a certain, preferably small, time frame in which the deactivation had to have taken place, in which case the e-mail will reveal the exact date and time that the DMM account was deactivated and you can cross-check that with your known time frame.

For example, if I were a scammer and wanted to ‘prove’ I had deactivated a DMM account, I could give you the deactivation e-mail of literally any other DMM I’ve created and deactivated in the past and you wouldn’t be able to verify that the deactivated account was one that was even attached to the relevant account. (The DMM GAMES user ID is random and not related to any ID number or username inside the game.)

So, generally, be careful with deactivated DMM accounts. There’s also the issue of, even if the DMM was properly deactivated, they could still log in to the game from their device for a period of time afterwards since their device will still retain access and without control of the DMM, you’ll likely end up fighting back and forth logging in and unlinking binds repeatedly.

If you’re trying to verify a deactivation without an e-mail, there’s really no way of doing so short of asking the seller to send support a message in-game asking if their associated DMM account is deactivated or not and waiting on the support to respond, then sending you that screenshot. (This will take a few days at minimum, assuming the support doesn’t go back and forth because they don’t understand the query.)

(The DMM user ID is random and not related to any ID number or username inside the game. There is a bit of detail you could check as the in-game IDV link will reveal a small portion of the DMM account ID attached to it, which you can attempt to match up with the e-mail they provide to confirm it’s the same account that’s deactivated, but that’s not a guaranteed thing as that’s just a few characters. Still, it’s better than nothing.)

Thank you so much!

Hey, I made a minor edit, because I just rechecked, but the 3 characters revealed in the in-game links is NOT the main DMM account’s ID, but the DMM GAMES account ID (they’re two different things, unfortunately, that’s why I deleted the segment about being able to check, because you actually can’t check that with a deactivated account).

So the DMM account is made by creating a primary DMM account (with an auto-generated ID consisting of letters and numbers) and then activating the DMM GAMES sub-account on it (which will generate an ID consisting only of numbers). The second ID, consisting only of numbers, is the one that the IDV account in-game will reveal partially to you. You cannot check the DMM GAMES sub account unless you are logged into the main DMM account, which is impossible to do if it’s deactivated, therefore, this method of checking is not possible, sorry for the mishap.

nw! honestly, I don't understand why would someone make such an annoying system...

It’s because the main DMM account is meant to be used for shopping on the site, which sells a variety of physical games and merchandise, whereas the DMM GAMES sub-account is for accessing their catalog of digital-only games associated with DMM, one of which is IDV.

To sum this up, there is always risks involved when buying or selling accounts or items in any game regardless of what methods you use to minimize it. At the end of the day educating yourself on the game you are looking to do business in or reading safe trading practices on Epic will help you know what to do or look for when trading. There are lots of resources posted on here by many experienced users and mods that can assist with that.
