If someone permanently gives their account away...

Let's say someone doesn't want to play anymore and permanently gives away their account to a friend. Will that friend be banned for account sharing, even though they would be the new permanent account holder?

Account sharing is when someone plays in another person's account.

You're not allowed. They can be banned, yes.

Actually, I don't know if this has ever been addressed before. Technically, this seems to fall into the letter of the law regarding account sharing, but technically speaking when a parent creates an account for their child to play, that also falls into the letter of the law regarding account sharing. I suspect that if it is always a true statement that there is one and only one player of the account Kabam isn't going to actively pursue that situation.

Did they ban the certain MMX member who was one of the first legends and sold his account?

The forum is not a place for calling people out. But you could check any external sources if you really wanted to know.

There was a Post this week with a similar situation, and it was regarding a ban. I believe it falls under Sharing. Whether it will be immediately or not, I believe it can.
