I hope you're happy

Re: I hope you're happy

I'm still amused that someone would actually do something like this. There's no payoff, either... knawmean? Nothing tangible, anyway. It's not like you're stealing someone's iPod and enjoying it for months to come as a result, and that's about the most banal example I could think of in my inebriated state.

They can spoof your PID.

Re: I hope you're happy

Are these people able to hack into each individuals accounts?

HAHAHA

Whoever hacked me knows me pretty well. They gave me 163,000 chopper kills. LEET.

Re: I hope you're happy

Is it safe to play? or should I just wait until this whole ordeal is over with?

Re: I hope you're happy

I believe BF2s has a filter which automatically doesn't show accounts with a score over a certain number.

50,000????? >.> jesus christ...

:laugh:

I think I was like #108 or something in the world for chopper kills...
Too bad I didn't even play ranked servers for 6 months when I was competing.... and I have 41 accounts :yay:

The actual number of chopper kills I have in pubs is closer to 70,000 across all of my accounts, but that's only a little less than half the time I have in the chopper. I easily have played much more unranked BF2 than ranked BF2.

Re: I hope you're happy

I got reset too. I had 50,000 chopper kills on my CynicDestroyer account.

But I really don't care. Stats are meaningless. 90% of the time I play unranked servers anyway.

Re: I hope you're happy

I can't even play BF2 since then, or it might be since I installed mods AIX, PR and FH2. But either way I get booted for a modified client. The whole "Revert your copy of BF2 to the current official version" shenanigan.

Re: I hope you're happy

I don't care about my badges either, I think the stats are interesting but not critical for a game, but take my guns away and I'll be angry.

Re: I hope you're happy

To me, stats are not about showing someone else how "l33t" you are. They are there to allow me to measure my own development. When I played regularly, I typically looked at them to see how well my shooting was (accuracy). It was a good way for me to tell if I was going up or down. BF2s always had graphs that you could plot where things were going.

Honestly, I could careless about the medals. But the statistical information is of value...especially now when I go back and play and see how horrible I am. Those numbers get dragged down compared to screen shots and spreadsheets I have from months ago showing where I was every month.

I'll add a big QFT here. I don't give a damn about my badges, what i find interesting is the statistical information. You can tell your strengths, weaknesses and try to improve your game around them.

But I am getting too far off the subject. If EA feels that they 'own' your stats and accounts, that being that they can not be sold on eBay for a profit, then I feel they are obligated to project your accounts like a bank insures your money through FDIC. They put themselves into a bad position if they act like heartless Nazis to their clientèle any chance they get. This is their fault too in many respects, because it is not just some 9 year old giving out his password on an IM session. This is someone exploiting weaknesses in an EA product. The FBI might say...well if $500 has not been lost, then there is no reason to pursue, then EA should enlist the Office of US Attorney General to start a broader investigation into exploits and hacks...because in the end, most all of these are related...from paid aimbot to account hacks, somewhere money is changing hands.
