Lol, I agree. It's broken. But at the same time, if transfers were disabled, there wouldn't be any compe!@#$%^&*ion. Only person who was anywhere close to me(before this last donation by attraction) was Holes, and he got all his !@#$%^&* from hackers and friends. Next round is going to be interesting.

Indeed - how are they going to fix the problem of hacking, though? From my experience, if something has been hacked once, even if it is fixed the hackers are going to immediately start trying to break the new system. And on and on... hmm.png

 

But, anyway, why would people cheat on a game like this? After all, it is just an add-on to the forums. Thought people would try to cheat in Continuum, not SS RPG hmm.png

Erm, people hacked by creating scripts that would create new accounts, transfer the items to a list of players, then reset, and continue the process. So yeah, they are fixing the hacking problem. People already thought of exploits for the new system, but they're going to be at a much, much lower profit, so I don't expect they'll be used a lot.

No, he didn't.

Actually, according to the logs he got a lot of his !@#$%^&* from the people who didn't hack themselves but were the recipient of the hackers' stuff. Redwaller and Keiver acted as the go-betweens mostly. None of the hackers gave their stuff directly to Holes. The only flaw with the transfer logs was that while they state who gave how much to whom, they don't specifically state which weapon is being transferred.

 

At the time, I was feeling nice, and gave the recipient the benefit of the doubt. I could have easily either reset all parties involved or just !@#$%^&*umed that all transferred weapons were thors and s+s and removed them accordingly. However, I felt I had done enough for one night.

 

As for what will happen if the hackers return next month, if it happens again in a different way, the army system will likely will be removed entirely. The Core isn't as flexible as you think it is. There are about 3 or 4 security features I feel would be greatly helpfull, yet can't be implemented because the designers didn't think people would cheat in such a low-stress game. If cheating occurs again, we'll do what we can to stop it, but if no solution is possible, then the whole RPG might have to be taken down.

 

Treat this game like you would a free candy jar at the office. If anyone abuses it too much, it will go away.

Well, you also have to try to look at it from his perspective. Transfer doesn't tell the recipient who sent him stuff and how much of each. He didn't necessarily ask for all that stuff, and you yourself have had problems with that. He certainly cannot be held responsable for the source of the source of the source of a player he might not even be able to identify.

actually they we're deleted and reset. And Holes had nothing to do with the Transfers. His was all afterwards when some others kept sending him stuff when they quit. Same with Animate Dreams. Neither of them used the bots, and all accounts involved we're reset, deleted, and some banned.

Someone is wrong.
