NCsoft has released the third episode in The More You MMO series of video shorts focused on RMT in Aion. The new piece, entitled Earn Your Power, examines the perils of buying your characters as opposed to leveling them up the old fashioned way.
"When you buy a character, you could be buying a character created by an RMT company or a power-leveling service. Not only could your security be compromised by dealing with these companies, the link your character has to these companies will lead to your account being eventually banned. Even worse, your character could have been a character stolen from another player who has been hacked," states the press release accompanying the video.
You can watch the short, which chronicles the ineptitude of a newb named Yarvington, on the official website or embedded here on Massively after the cut.

Haha, pretty funny... but what Aion should really do to solve the problem is just sell lvl capped characters themselves for like $500 and they will all be named sparkle pony. Stay gold pony boy.

Is it normal to be filled with homicidal rage after watching these ridiculous shorts?

Looking this shorts, I get this feeling that the Aion players are complete morons! I wonder how much he did pay for that high level toon and of he did use his mommy's credit card?

This is the most retarded video ever made.
Why not just make a video, like I commented on the actual news page for the video itself, of someone logging into their new lvl 50, full Miragent/Fenris cleric and BAM, banned on the spot.
NCsoft's customer support and GM activity is abysmal at best.

God, I hate NcSoft /facepalm
People wouldn't buy these services, if the game itself wasn't a pain in the ass. I'm not defending them if they do, but game companies should honestly think before they do something. Before they make themselves looks a straight up jackass with videos like this, when NcSoft got a bunch of security holes, at their end... leading to a lot of people getting their account's hacked, left and right... which is helping the spread of RMT throughout Aion,..... fricken hypocrites.

Uh, doesn't NCSoft make enough money to hire a professional video director?
No offense to the team that put this together, but whoever is putting these together should do a bit more studying in film making. The general idea is sound, even if all of them have been executed rather poorly.
Take a look at this challenge thing. It is a mixture of pro and amateur filmmakers creating an ongoing story:
