So if I'm logged in to the site while clicking such a link, the magic happens? That does sound quite bad. I imagine a lot of people who would click SW:TOR-related links are subscribers.



In theory BW/EA should be able to retroactively track down these bogus referrals and remove the cartel coins. It gets harder if the coins have already been spent though.



And BW is able of locating the "owners" of the links and remove you, if you call them on the support, so they probably could remove the Coins, but I am not sure if they do that... If the system worked as intended, hen yes, the "referred" player would need to create account and become subscriber for the "owner" of the link to get rewards. But, because someone mucked up while coding it, if a logged in subscriber (so pretty much every subscriber who reads forums and uses cookies) clicks it, he gets added as a "referred" player and the "owner" get the reward automatically, which is pretty bad...And BW is able of locating the "owners" of the links and remove you, if you call them on the support, so they probably could remove the Coins, but I am not sure if they do that...
