got wiped from cheaters twice in a day and then I got admin deleted. Yep, got wiped from cheaters and got all my thralls killed at 4:00 am, out of raid time. Great. And guess what? Funcom decided to admin deleting me, I didnt blocked anything, was a 5 months “grind”, so they could have me banned before.
If we can’t freaking build in caves or stuff like that, just BLOCK the costruction. Like in every place like unamed city and sepermeru, nope, they just want to get banned lose everything for what? Buying a new game key? The are even cheaper then before, but we won’t spend any money here anymore. Oh yea, now I will receive the msg: open a zendesk ticket… YIKES.
Has been suggested repeatedly if you can get banned for building there make it a no build zone.
Everyone needs to stop playing officials and play private servers. Between the absolute horrible server performance, insane cheats and abuse of report system it’s not worth it. I’ve been dev wiped due to a 1.5k piece farm shack near Sep. “resource blocking” 6 tree spawns….
Cool, admin just show when we don’t need LOOOOL! Today in that server where I was admin deleted, there’s a new, doing land claim abuse with just foundations, but hey! Funcom!
Admin sends you a message or something to let you know it was them, right? I can’t tell the admins from the cheaters when the cheaters have admin-style powers now.
nothing
Some cheaters have been rumored to have gained access to Admin controls. It doesn’t sound like Funcom “banned” you, but rather cheaters with Admin controls took it upon themselves to remove you. When Funcom does it, they tell you. When cheaters do it, they don’t.
Don’t play on the ‘unwatched’ official servers. Play on a private server where good Admins are running the server.
This is not a personal attack:
Are you able to post proof of your statement ie “Some cheaters have been rumored to have gained access to Admin controls”.
Where did you see/hear/read these rumors. Please post.
If you can’t, then maybe you should consider not publishing unsubstantiated misinformation.
Progress is made through fact, not fiction (ie unsubstantiated rumors).
It is interpreted as such but not quite.
Regardless, they’re not wrong in the effect. FC is very much aware.
Proof is in the multiple posts, videos, experiences since October and I would assume the immense tickets they’ve received.
Sometimes, stuff like this makes me wonder if FC actually is playing this game.
If they really are, then things like this happening are starting to make sense.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your concern for accuracy. However, I have no interest in spending the hours it would take to dig up and compile the evidence to satisfy this request. The information I shared was based on credible reports and discussions within the community over time, but I fully respect that others are free to take it or leave it.
If you prefer only fully documented posts, that is understandable. My intention was simply to offer a caution based on what many players have observed and discussed, not to present a formal investigation. Thanks again for engaging respectfully.
My reply was simply because of “have been rumored” wording. If you had said “there have been numerous reports” I wouldn’t have said anything. You and I know the hackers are out there but someone new to game probably doesn’t (yet). Newbies are more likely to take note, and beware of hackers, if definitive statements are made of the existence of hackers.
Well … after reading this thread , I’m less and less sure that it’s hackers/exploiters and tend to think that … it’s peak funcompetence . I mean … if this can happen in a single player game , where there is no possibility to be hacked … why would it be hackers on servers ?
Edit for future readers : I’m not saying their isn’t cheaters/exploiters on official servers, I’m just saying that some of the reports that has been attributed to cheaters, like the reseted skills / knowledge and other issues that was potentialy attributed to hackers may just be bugs. I’m not even discussing the fact that some cheaters have accessed admin level of control on official servers ! ( I saw the hole blue ranger debacle )
Official PVE servers also opened PVP and restarted the server. Then all the tribes’ structures and slaves were attacked on those servers. They took video recordings, took pictures. They sent real official reports. The forums talked about the cheater continuously for more than 2 weeks.
If I link the proof to you, my message will be deleted topic by topic because the names and IDs are visible.
If I give the name of the cheater so that you can research it yourself, my message will still be deleted. It is not possible for me to show you real evidence. There are also rules that protect cheaters.
This is why I ask where they play.
There’s multiple issues with reset attributes.
Not with Funcom. LOL
