Fake player who hired your pawn?

[Humble]

Did anyone know how it work and how often fake player work? Someone post and said that fake player would help filled pawn quest you asking for.

So I don't know the full logistics, but there is a way to kinda tell.

When your pawn returns like usual - sometimes you will notice the names are very simple; hard to say how, they just seem plain. When you then go to receive the items from them - you can hover over each line, and then select it to open a prompt.

In the event that "View Arisen" and "View Pawn" options are shaded out - these are either the fake players, or are individuals who have the "Network" settings set to "Offline" (which is just - you can rent like normal, but nobody can rent your pawn/view them).

Seems like I have received a couple over the weekend for example - but I don't know why that would be as I get rented daily (as I do like to view most of the other folks just in-case I want their pawn on my crew). So I assumed they are just offline folks.

There is talk that the game simulates "hiring" your pawn, either when no real players pick him for a certain amount of time, or when you set the game to offline.
I don't think the devs said anything, though.

They have[www.capcom-support.com]. They're not trying to make a secret of it either.

your main pawn may return from their travel beyond the rift, even if your pawn is not borrowed by another player. Under these circumstances, the borrower’s name will only be displayed, and you will not have access to their information, such as their profile.

Pity hires were also a thing in the first game, but they were silently nerfed when Dark Arisen came out because there were more sources of Rift Crystals.
They just have a chance to trigger if you have no hires for a while.

Nothing new, the first game had a system like that. Basically if your pawn doesn't get hired by anyone for X amount of time (how much depend on capcom's internal balance), a fake player will hire them. It's done so a player with a poorly designed pawn doesn't get left out and struggle with RC.
