It protects both them and the owner of the account from fraud and claims of such.

I’ve got a question that’s kind of related to the article: are all pre-release objects still untradable? I had an experience during the RTR pre-release where I purchased some tickets and the necessary clan pack to enter the tournament for a friend who didn’t have a credit card and was unable to give him the pack he needed to enter the tournament. I haven’t tried to enter any pre-release sealed tournaments since then so I honestly have no idea.

It is unreasonable that the ticketing system is down, on that we agree.

But your derision at them verifying you as the legal owner of the account before removing (even useless) product from the account is totally unfounded in my mind. Coming from a background in support I can’t even begin to explain how often I had people cursing me out when I told them I couldn’t access their account without verifying ownership. Its security. You have financial value on your account, its the same reason people use security tokens on their phone. WOTC is covering their ass and that’s A-OK With me.

There are plenty of good reasons to be upset about MTGO. In fact, there’s enough that I sold all my product on mine and quit playing. But that shouldnt leas us to post blind rage articles of little to no quality substance.
