I've noticed that despite tighter security measures being made by Titan through the game, it did not completely stop.(obviously) But I've noticed something, after observing players getting hacked for no reason, most of these so called players who have been hacked are because of reaching the daily fame leaderboard. Am I joking? No, I'm dead serious. Yesterday, a player named Riozin won rising star and within the next hours, his account got hacked for winning the rising star. I've also seen some people in facebook asking for fame and they also annoy other people's privacy by posting FAME ME with their character link on it. The next few days, either their account gets hacked or their items get sold because of asking too much fame. Seriously, this has got to stop.

Archknights, devs, I don't care if I'm breaking the rules of "You are not suppose to create posts concerning hacking in General Discussion". The fact is this fame system has already ruined not only players' gameplay but also privacy in social networks. The only way to revise this fame system is to make it a repeatable quest system to do tasks in-game like helping out an NPC, not asking real people to fame you. It's not like you ask your friend or teacher in real life to fame you. If you want players to stop getting hacked because of fame, I recommend you revise it now.

I'm not tired of begging, I can still beg 200 fames a day if I want to but seeing several people complaining, I think it's time to revise it.

Constructive!


Riozin didn't get hacked, he got scammed... Losing his account was due to him asking for varium. This should be addressed by the help team at Artix Entertainment and not as an accusation that accounts can be hacked or to use it as a lever to influence discussions... Meh!

Firstly, this topic is against the rules, so I'm going to lock it up, but first I'll explain this.

The main thing I feel I need to explain here is that this is NOT hacking, hacking is using a program to force entrance to someone account with out their permission, this is completely impossible with the security in place. This is them being scammed. Now we already have worked very hard to try and make it extremely clear not to give out account information no matter what. It is not only against the rules to give out your account info, but it also leads you to lose your account, and items etc. to be sold. This is why we always ask players not to give out their information, if they are stubborn enough to go against all warnings and do so, I'm afraid that is not our problem. We have the Help Team in place to try and sort all these problems out, and return accounts to their rightful owners, but of course this doesn't completely solve the issue. So my advise is DON'T give out any account information no matter what.

This is not an issue with fame, it's an issue of people who are too lazy to level up their own accounts, don't want to pay money, and get a thrill out of making people upset, unhappy and angry. If someone tries to ask for your information, then you SS it and send it to The Lawman or a Moderator, myself, Ashari or Cinderella, we'll deal with that person. Do not fall for this, that is the only way to ensure your safety!
