Complaint on how GMs handle hacked accounts.

[Ohanaa]

Hello, respected gamemasters!
First of all I would like to say that your antihacker system works in the hackers favor, all the hacker has to do is to change your accounts password and then make sure to log in atleast once in every 10th day, so that you cannot use the lost account function. Why is the 10 day thing even implemented??? LOL it works 100% in the hackers favor.


Here's how GMs handle the problem: Copypaste ftw! : -)
The game master straight up copied his answer from this: http://prntscr.com/8qyzv1
And pasted it as an answer to this: http://prntscr.com/8qyzea

inb4 I get banned from the forum, because the gamemaster feels salty.

15 days of online time down the drain!

I have not shared my account information, and Im quite certain that my computer does not have a keylogger on it.
Conclusion: There's probably a loophole in the server, ways for hackers to hack into the server and steal account information.

The only salty one here seems to be you.

Incorrect section. Moved to General discussion.

Keep your info safe and it won't happen. Not saying it will never happen to me, but in 16 years of online gaming, I have yet to have an account hacked. It's possible to keep your info secure. It's also your responsibility. Not anyone elses.

Be personally responsible for YOUR accounts. It's not a GM's job to keep YOUR account information secure. If you can't respect the rules or the ToU that explicity explains these rules and guidelines, it deserves to be hacked, and therefore banned.

Feel free to try again on a new account, if YOU can be responsible with YOUR account and information, and abide by the rules. It's free, anyway!

Majority are sold accounts or people who account shared. I don't know anyone that's been "hacked".

The more you know.
