It's illegal

i saw someone on ig (the name is cumbergt) he is pretty famous for his arts and a lot of ppl buy it. But since you said it's illegal why didn't he get banned?

Cause art community doesn't rn believe our gt rules, we need wait that ubisoft mods or support gives real official statement. Rn old mod say that go and sell art for wls, cause no one gives bans, so current rule is absolutely useless. So we want answers... Bans or rule remove, current system is not working.

According to ubimods is a frequent question at support desk and well is answered in the art subforum. We need an official statement here on forums.

I agree, we do need an official (final) statement from them.

I personally have nothing against these art sellers, some make amazing art, but the fact that they're charging 5-600 Wls/piece gains them an insane unfair advantage.
And many people scam of course.

I think it is really important that we get this cleared up asap as the current climat on instagram at least is really bad.

We currently have ppl "warning" artists that it is illegal to sell art for wls while they arent mods. Even though the act itself might be good at heart I would call it harassment since it isnt their job to contect them about it and then call the artists toxic for defending their actions.

Both sides gets a lot of heat rn so the sooner it can cool down the better for both sides.

I think that taking wls for commission is under charging a lot for the worth of the art so if we can move on to real money it would be better. However wls opens up an easy way for young artist to start working with commissions.

Also there are a few statements that it is illegal to do gt commissions at all and if that is true it would hurt a lot of gt artists a LOT. What I think that statement is reffering to is that if I make a gt badge I am not allowed to sell it while commission are when ppl ask to make a custom art piece and pay for the work and not the art itself if that makes sense.

I think it is important to adress that this issue about art for wls has started some intresting things on instagram as well

We currently have members you are telling artists on instagram that what they are doing (taking commissions for wls) is illegal and when the artists defend themselfs thay are called out for acting "toxic". I think that this type of harasment has hurt a lot of artist on instagram even if it was meant as a warning but it isnt their job to go after the artists and tell them to stop, it is the mods.

I think that noone should be taking wls as a payment for commissions sinse that is undervaluing their art. But it is a really nice thing to do since it gives new artists a lot of experience with commissions.

Hey, yeah it’s illegal but to be honest I don’t see any problem of selling arts even tho it’s illegal so guys don’t do it.

The main problem with selling art for wls is that you are trading the wls for some sort of real world currency which would make it attractive to try and steal accounts to turn it into something "real" or even money
