Is it safe to buy a War Thunder account?

Gaijin’s Terms of Service forbid selling, buying or giving away an account, so a bought account carries policy risk — action against it, or the original owner recovering it. What reduces it is full access including the email and Gaijin Pass, a seller with a public record, and a warranty against recovery. Every METAMMO account is checked by hand and carries a lifetime warranty against recovery by a previous owner; bans are not covered.
