Account/Crit Stealing;And what ISNT being done
« on: 10/21/03 at 04:06:04 »

I'm pretty sure a few of you are already thinking,oh man what's she going to rant about? Stoopid No000b!!!
 
Yeah well,I dont like you that much either,anyways...A lot of people have been getting their accounts and crits stolen; some from account sharing or just from a plan old hacker. Staff repeatedly states that they can't do anything,when everyone knows that they can..they just won't, why? People who work their arses off constantly training crits and what not, decide to share that hard worked self glory with their old buddy Steve! from 2nd grade who broke his arm falling off the swing! When just so happens old Steve is all grown up now and has repeatedly stolen accounts throughout the game and hasn't been caught yet.  
 
Staff,being repeatedly reminded of this same situation hasn't attempted to find this jerk.  How are individuals allowed to enjoy what they work for if it's being stolen from them?  Or share something with a best  friend or someone they can trust?  And you can't repeatedly tell us that oh we shouldn't share accounts, or we should be more careful, or any of that other BS,because thats exactly what it is,BS!  
 
 I'm sure as soon as this type of thing happens to you,it's dealt with,or you're saying it won't happen to you,which exactly isn't true...anyone,anywhere can be stolen from in different ways.  So my point is,when is staff going to start caring about the players instead of their authority?
 
I'm sure for this post,I'm going to get some textual slandering from many...well,thats the result of stating an opinion, you have your negitive and positive replies.  I just want to tell the truth from what I've seen and experienced.  Hopefully I wont get any ignorant replies...or some form of harrasment.  So if you basically don't like what I've said or dont care,then don't bother paging me with your insults or other petty crap.

well said
 
I didn't think anyone would even take the time to bother stealing from my account, and someone did.  I was lucky enough that Jen helped me with that =)  My irl friend had her account stolen, and I was told theres nothing we can do.  All her equips, were sold. Ive seen alot of crits get stolen and how many of them get their crits back?  Not many.  Basically, ur telling people, its okay to steal, because they wont get in trouble for it anyhow!  and I know I, like everyone else have worked my arse off for what I have, and I wouldnt want to be one of the people that get their crap stolen just because, some thief thinks it will be fun, why not sell their whole account while ur at it!
 
Thats my 2 sense anyways *if that*

Obviously Steve is a wicked, horrid person who shouldn't have been trusted.  The point is with staff not helping is that we dont support sharing, which means quite simply, DONT DO IT.  I can guarentee that if you dont share that you won't have your crits stolen by people!!!

 Precisely. For a long long long time I never shared my account, and the one time I did get robbed (we never established how), staff were more than willing to step in, and return Deval and Protac to me, the crits were also frozen until what had happened was established. All you have to do is listen to what they say. As for the ignorant remarks, if you can't follow simple guidlines, I'd say someones suffering from a severe case of hipocracy.

Its the simple fact that it takes to much time to solve, and if staff had to spend all their time dealing with thefts that COULD be prevented, then nothing would get done.

Yeah, there are lots of ways to get crits without sharing or knowing someones info. Keyloggers are the most common these days. I believe that staff should help people out who get thier crits/stuff stolen if they dont share. I also think there should be a special password or something on the character itself, so even if you DID share, you couldnt move it without entering the crit pass and the acct pass. Just an idea.  Wink

Why not get more staff? Sometimes it's like staff doesn't even exist most of the time. Wouldn't it be easier on pretty much all of us if there was more staff and get some type of theft monitoring and what about Drake Lord's idea,it sounded pretty good. Can't there be some type of control for the original person who made the account and like a contract they can have with a person that they share an account with that permits them to certian limits that staff can keep in some type of records

I dont think the situation would be as bad if current staff would contribute to the game instead of yelling "man oh man am I bored". If your bored, give up your position to someone who cares about the advancement and betterment of the game. I even myself put in for a staff position where players would control bosses and roleplay and walk around, to have interactive bosses. But I guess im not important enough to become staff since i'm not in TR. Since you have to be friends with someone to become staff now a days.

Why should staff have to deal with the fact that a player has something on THEIR computer which allows people to access their account. Staff are not the ones who put it there. Maybe people should be a little bit more careful as to files they accept and pages they go to. It's amazing what clicking a link can do to your computer. I totally understand that it's not Staffs problem, and they should not be held responsible for the stupidity of others.

But its staff's job to make the game safe and fun to others. If staff cant prevent keyloggers, make it to where you somehow use your mouse to log in. Keyloggers cant track that.  Cool

Well as one of those people who just seem to be a nice guy and want to help someone out by allowing them to share an acct with me and after its all said and done im walking around with abosolutley nothing. Yes i admit i shared an acct but the fact that staff wont do anything to help me out is straight up ****ing retarded. When you turn to staff for help after an acct is stolen id say at least 8 out of 10 times your turned away with them telling you "DO NOT SHARE". In fact heres a quote from one of our lovely staff members Stotic:I technically don't deal with theft, but theft won't get no where when it is sharing because Pandilex and JLH solve the problems, make the rules, etc. so another words staff wont do a d**n thing about it if you share an acct?hmm
kinda makes a person wanna get into stealing accts since its so easy to get away with it and im liked by many, but theres only 1 problem i have morals and i stand by them. Well thats about all i have to say

This is getting REALLY old. We have 3 staff in TR. Zephie,Stotic and Aidon. You do NOT have to be in TR to be staff and those people who keep saying that are making themselves look stupid.

Staff members who arent in a clan are very closely related to TR in some way or another as most of them are all friends. Dont give me that load of garbage. I have NEVER seen a staff member recruited from an unranked clan. Or one thats lower ranking. So HA!
