You know what I do to scammers, I get my whole guild to PM him "SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM" Hehe its pretty funny. But yeah Its sad to see parasitic scammers (Steal accounts and use them). I think ebay should ban game content selling, such as accounts and money. I am glad to see they cleared up the /roll casinos though!

Yes, back off because 'she' is a girl. That makes perfect sense.

Anyway, that's all I'm going to say about that.
Sorry to hear about your friend getting scammed... really sucks, but that's what happens when you try to cheat on a Multiplayer Online game.
Hopefully Anet will clear things up, though.

Don't take the bait! Said poster has a pattern over the past week of inflammatory posts, followed by community outrage, followed by complaints of maturity level aimed back at the community, followed by more community confrontation, followed by either jingoistic inanity or complaints that people are picking on "her" because "she" is a girl. See here for a better description of the pattern.

The best way to defenestrate is to ignore.

Did you make up those words? @.@ Only... they seem made up!

Shagsbeard · May 27, 2005, 11:54 PM // 23:54

People who are claiming this is theft of account really need to clarify.

It's "Cheating" followed by "Theft of the Account". Both are wrong and both should be punished.

Sadly, no. I like words, is all.

Rahne Sinclaire · May 28, 2005, 12:04 AM // 00:04

No worries! I like words, too... I plan to major in English in college next year, but some of those words I've never heard before. :x

I have never seen you before, so rather than be offended, I will simply respond with "read the post again, slower this time"

Now then...

My buddy was my second in command. He had full powers to the guild. The moron who overtook the account with the access he was granted by my friend's brainfart, decided to start recruiting random people. The problem is, these people he added WERE NOT random, but were instead intentionally added, so I would have to keep track of all actions and hope no one was a mole. 3 of my people left out of rage because they did not realize what the ****nugget was doing. 4 others left because he was verbally abusive to them, abandoned some in mid-mission, etc.

I removed the rest to be safe. They are each on my buddy list, and I know several from other places, so I can re-add them when the time comes. If it does.

No, he did not deserve this. I actually, am to blame. I should have kept absolute control to me alone. My mistake

There's lots more where those came from.

I'm on hold a lot at work and must find ways to amuse myself...

kidding aside, if a letter to Anet can fix it so his IP is okay, then 40/50 whatever bucks so he can play again is a small price to pay for the lesson he (hopefully) learned.

That is beneath me.

Tala · May 28, 2005, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Keesa, thanks for the warning. I didn't realize she was a known troll. Appreciate the heads up and all other posts from that person will be dutifully ignored.

Yeah, it's kind of like a petty thief complaining that someone stole the purse that he had just stolen from the old lady down the block.

The reference is to Playful Kitty who keeps harassing everyone.

Did you tell your friend to email ArenaNet to try to get his account back? There's a good chance he'll get it back. However, all the gold and characters may be missing.

Jwh6913 · May 28, 2005, 01:29 AM // 01:29

hmmm.... I have to wonder about some people.

it's basic internet knowledge that any mmo advertisments for cheating programs are a blantant attempt to get a freebie account.

that said, that sucks. Live and learn it and maybe next time you play a mmo not to fall for any progs

well except for skill utility or databases. those rocks!

My guildmate was the victim, not I.

Yes you both deserve, dont let your clanmembers be that stupid !

psycore · Jun 07, 2005, 10:53 AM // 10:53

There has been a warning every time you log in against downloading 3rd party applications for more than a month now, I fail to see how your friend failed to heed such a warning. If anyone feels the need to download a program to cheat or exploit GW then rightly so they deserve what happens to them.

On another note did you friend take note of the person who was advertising this program? He should report them to abuse at arenanet so appropriate punishment can be dealt out.

A. stupid and unknowing enough to download some kind of hack or bot
B. thinking they are going to be uber leet haxxor because they were so lucky that someone was spamming it in ascalon d1 while he was there.

deserves it.

Omega_2005 · Jun 07, 2005, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Hmm, here's what I think

Whoever downloaded the bot programme is automatically going to lose their account on GW. No ifs and buts... that person is asking for their account to be hijacked, removed and even spammed to the other criminals who enters the game. My sympathies go to the friends who got hijacked and anger/revenge on the hacker

SOT, I hope you are the officer, but if you're not, I'd suggest you remove yourself from the entire Guild and make a new one up. I know this sounds a bit harsh, but if you don't want you or your Guild members to take the abuse from your "hacked" friend's players, then I'd suggest you do that. And don't even bother accepting the invite for that person. Make sure you are the leader and officer for sometime before he goes completely, then recruit officers. That should remove some of the bad publicity, and he will have no friends at all.

If you are the leader of the guild, tell your officers either to demote or kick him out and bar him from entering again, until he gives in his Password. Once you have done that, tell your friend to come back into the guild and start enjoying GW again! If your officers don't do as they are told, It'd be best to degrade them until they understand what's happened. Or it would be best to do the paragraph from above.

I know that's a lot of information, but I hope this helps your problem, and if it works well, PM me or post back here!
