Are these people hackers???

Post by _PunishmenT_ »

Hi all

Well, over the past few days, I have noticed SEVERAL people springing up to me and telling me that they can make my weapons SoS, +9, or SoM etc.. Seems wierd that it's just over the past few days too (2 in a day once!)

I know this isn't possible obviously, and they keep requesting Party or Trade. But one of the times I accepted accidentally the party invite. They said that I should follow them to some area.. Of course, I refused to follow, and they kept saying about how it will be free blablabla.

I told him that I thought he was a hacker (who gives something for nothing!?) and that he should piss off and leave me alone (words to that effect anyway lol) but then he bacame abusive. He said that he reported me to a GM and that my account would be blocked because I was hacking! WTF!?! So now I am worried that I will be banned for no reason... :(

I have also read somewhere that hackers can get your account info when you accept a trade or party, so I immediatley changed my password and secret qu etc... Is this enough?

But what should I do?? If I get banned, It's not my fault!!

Please someone advise me what I should do or how I could contact a GM if they believe his stupid story and ban me!

Well even if he/she/it did report you, I doubt Joynax would do something.

But to be honest I just think it's a 10 year old with a big mouth. Most of the time these jerks just say that to make you scared and hope you'll agree to be scammed by them.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Besides doesn't a GM check on you if you're botting or something? :\

Apparently peoplecan hack you with trade or pt invite. But IMO i think its a fair bit of bullshiz. If this was physicaly happening then it would have broken out a long time ago. If there is this hack available i think this game would be finished. The amount of people who are legit would turn to the dark side and peolpe would be complainnig about being hacked left right and centre due to accepting trades. This isnt the case so its speculation IMO.

people keep saying there is such a thing as party/trade hack since i started to play long time ago but funny thing is that i never seen someone got hacked that way.. all people got hacked either downloaded some malicious software or gave out thier login/register info..

You know, this game is pathetic.

Why do people play it?

Today, i got a pm from a lvl 69+ - 'Would you like to be a joymax gm' To which i replied 'Sure why not' He then said, 'ok, Im going to need your password and username and secret answer to confirm you own the account'

Is he retarded?

Also, i know the account he is on is a hacked account...
