This contagious nature applies to anything you get from the C-Store that can be opened, and the purpose is to prevent fraudulent purchases from being traded off of the account. The bound-to-account status is “contagious”, so that if you open a Lock Box using a Master Key that has this status, everything from the Lock Box will also be bound-to-account in the same way. You will get a warning dialog at the time of purchase letting you know that the purchase will be bound-to-account. Also, some purchases made in the C-Store may become bound-to-account instead of being tradable. When on probation, Zen cannot be traded on the Dilithium Exchange to acquire Dilithium. Once you have an established purchase history with us, the system is unlikely to trigger. New ZEN buyers and those with a limited purchase history may get temporarily flagged into the probation system. When purchasing ZEN, if an account is flagged, it puts the account into a temporary “probation” state for review by the system. While we are introducing this system into STO, there is a chance that the rules may result in a false positive trigger but we have reduced the chance for that to the bare minimum. What this new system does to protect all players is to temporarily change the way ZEN is treated by accounts that may be flagged for consideration in the new probation system. It has been enabled on STO due to increases in credit card fraud over the past several months. This system has been in place on another Cryptic game, Neverwinter, since July, where it has worked effectively. On Thursday October 30, Star Trek Online enabled a new fraud prevention system.
