Which will make these account, stolen accounts or accounts sold to rmts by players who no longer have no desire to play again.
It's too bad that we can't see the last revision date of this FAQ article as this is on the bottom of the list of restrictions.
They may have added/changed this under the radar (without needing to perform maintenance) very recently, as in today due to this new tactic.

I too have received a couple of those party invites, but I tend to decline/ignore them.

Otherwise, it probably are stolen/hijacked accounts as I don't see them using sold accounts for this.
