Prime Example of Hacking Try

This is a prime example of someone trying to hack accounts.

If you go for this kind of thing, don't blame GGG for not restoring your accounts.



After seeing that people could fall for that, I understand and fully support GGG's policies about hacking.

schovan is probably a stolen account in the first place anyways.

keylogging is not hacking

How people randomly run a .exe without scanning it first is beyond me.

Or ya know, the virus protection you hopefully have installed on your computer.

If someone losses there account because they tried to scam the system I see nothing wrong with that. Karma

McAfee? Symantec?

Get Windows Defender or SpyBot.. both are free and in most ways better...

He's trying to argue some petty definition logic.. as if it were even correct. Hacking is defined as someone who seeks and exploits weaknesses in any manner. Such is keylogging, it's an exploit to take advantage of others to steal their information. On topic though, it's probably a legit maphack since there is maphack for this game, you can easily use cheatengine even.. I'm not sure why they haven't moved it to server side yet. Not to mention their lack of detection. But this is probably on the bottom of their to-do list since they have to fix the graphics engine, fix the servers, and the numerous other bugs/fixes/updates/content etc.

Point is, it is most likely someone trying to keylog stupid noobs that will complain on the forums that GGG won't restore their items once they get hacked.

Either way, that account and IP both deserve a ban for encouraging third party software, and since you can't report public games in this game, I decided to share with you all in the hopes it reaches GGG.
