Keys on eBay are under a dollar ($0.10 right now) and they always work.

Yeah, I saw them going for pretty cheap on other sites, but there's no return guarantee or safety with sites like eBay. Yeah, on the off chance you can find a key for $0.10, you'll be lucky and you will have also spent $10 more on fake keys. It's just my personal opinion, and if you can get keys at that price reliably, then Coolio 👍

I have bought hundreds of windows keys for VM's and I have never received a fake key, lol.

Damn nvm then I guess I'll spend a few bucks on backup keys. I hope there are windows 10 pro keys tho.

They're almost all pro keys.
That's all I buy.

I don't recommend buying bulk keys as they'll often get locked before you can use, but if you use them immediately after getting them, you'll never have an issue and they're always extremely cheap.

I've been buying keys from eBay for years and they're always the cheapest you'll find.

Hey guys,

Is the new shadow banned method real? It tricks you showing low pings and you end up never finding a match?

Thanks!

Too many instances of it causing secondary waves of shadow bans for no reason on other accounts, among other matchmaking issues, so for me, it's not worth the risk.

So what do you normally do if an account gets shadowed? I've never had a perm ban, but my main has now been shadowed 3 times in the past 2.5 months, getting bad lobbies and it's very evident that it's flagged.

I just get rid of an account. No reason to hold onto it. It gets crossed off my accounts list and I never touch it again.

Each shadow, as mentioned, I get rid of my account. Then, I remove the game via Revo Uninstaller so that I can deep clean all the registries. Then, I'll either change my serials manually or if I'm lazy or in a rush (if I'm testing something), I'll use a spoofer.

tbh, a shadow is pretty much the same as a hwid ban unless you plan on playing legit
if you don't plan on playing legit, you're gonna need to do the same steps either way
and i know you, you're not playing legit
