Ladies and Gentlemen, check your account history and replays

[CptKerion]

Either a rash of hacked accounts have occurred that Gaijin hasn't caught or reported, or there is falsified playtime.
Many users have reported that their inactive accounts are in use, some have noted a very unusual pattern of many matches being ostensibly "played" simultaneously (such as can be seen here: https://imgur.com/a/Tq5KFLY <not my screenshot)

If you have experienced any of these, change your passwords, notify Gaijin support, and if you believe your information is being used to artificially inflate numbers, report it to game journalists with the evidence you can provide.

Edit: For the next several hours I'll be on the road and unable to respond or attempt to mediate. Please keep things civil folks, I know that things could blow up and get vitriolic if anyone starts posting receipts, so please be mindful of how you respond to people.
If there any any moderators about, due to the possibility of things getting vitriolic, please keep an eye out for personal attacks. I'd also appreciate it if you could raise awareness of any possibly hacked accounts, since I've seen several people reporting a rash of them lately on various platforms.

Edit#2: I have arrived safely at my destination.

Edit#3: You can go here: https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/ to check your replays without launching the game.

Edit#4: specifying that it's not my screenshot in a way that does not rely on reading comprehension. Though it can be grasped from the context of the original post or from reading through the thread, apparently some people want to act like I'm part of some grand conspiracy... seriously folks, it's an example of what you're looking for.

There is no falsified playtime. The redditors just failed so hard they are trying to do ANYTHING to cope

Great... the mods closed the last thread and now people are going to use that as evidence of gaijin being guilty, fantastic. Can't wait for the youtube community to start talking about this and turn it into a witch hunt.

Give me the IGN so I can see the replays and I can see the match history myself.

That picture without IGN means nothing to me, I can fake it in lightroom in 20 minutes.

This isn't related to reddit, its related to the chinese (apparently) and steam forums

By IGN do you mean in game name?

You know IGN is like PCGamer right? if someone is trying to get people to send screenshots to journalist then having the name of another journalist group might cause some miscommunication.

who didnt see this coming, when the boycott inevitably failed because most of their supporters didnt play anyway did anyone actually think they would accept their loss gracefully?

If the people reading don't realize that IGN stands for in-game name, like it has for decades in any online community, then I have negative reasons to believe anything they say and believe they actually secured their account and didn't get hacked.

Correct.

I was wondering why you kept asking for a company that has nothing to do with Warthunder or sharing screenshots.

this is clearly bs. that is just a list of all games played and not the list of games played by that person.

For context this thread is not the original and its more about trying to get gaijin in hot water vs the original thread which was about people discussing how they have play time without playing the game.

This is personally the first time I have ever heard it/.

Same. So... username? maybe?

[LunarGatta]

Oh and just because I am petty and hate people lying, see below.

https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/page/119?Filter%5Bgame_mode%5D%5B0%5D=realistic&Filter%5Bgame_type%5D%5B0%5D=randomBattle&Filter%5Bkeyword%5D=&Filter%5Bnick%5D=&Filter%5Bstatistic_group%5D=&action=search

Matches played on 26 may 2023 22:20 start on page 119(at the time of posting this)

There's only about 6 or 7 pages of matches played at 22:20 on 26 may 2023.

I can't find the replays that dude posted anywhere.

Sure, the maps were played, not with his time however.

They are not listed anywhere at all. It only took me like 3 minutes to check them.

So again, give me the username. Cause I sure as ♥♥♥♥ can't find his matches at ALL on the war thunder website.
