hacking

[flyboy]

plaese stop the hacking in the game .persons are useing hack for hunting kills for long shots air gun over 200 yr. max is 40 to 60 yr. or cross bow and other please look into this....

[Knoxx212]

I think it would be funny to just put a script on cheating accounts that allows them to join competitions but not to register any scores rather than banning them.

As has been stated in other responses, long shots are not cheats or hacks. The game has no realistic ballistics, so kills that would be impossible in real life are pretty common.

Found a couple more last night.

This one is obvious. http://www.thehunter.com/#profile/trusha_97/statistics/history
This second one looks like he's trying to cover up by mixing in some legitimate harvests. If you look at the first 5 kills in this hunt, http://www.thehunter.com/#profile/edsonbr007/expedition/58843397 all are under 6m and the animal state is Idle even though 4 of them took two shots.

You will most probabley get your post deleted Lee like mine was, It's a no no to post players info
so I've found out just like TheHunter forum it seems

[LeeMax]

I thought Alf said he would allow it, but I guess I read it wrong, so I've removed the post.

I have played this game since 2009 and have given them plenty of money. However you missed the whole point.

In your browser go to The Hunters website after you log in there is a tab that says "Earn em$".
This is the area in which EW has accepted money from people to try to scam you.

And EW force you to click on obvious spam thread? I subscribe to a few newspaper online, I pay for all of them, and still i have dozens of links heading to advertising and other malwares sites.

I still don't see where they "take" your money without your agreement. Remember on the internet, if something is free, then you're the product, but since you play for a longer time than me, you should know that...On my side, I never use a link where someone offers you to earn money, that's your own choice.

Again you are very think headed. I have no complaints giving EW money for things in this game. Hell check out my profile (Knoxx) and see my weapons. My issue is the company they keep. How do you know they won't out-source a anti-cheat program that will do more harm than good?

All I have to say is "You're judged by the company you keep".

No I haven't used any of these but their home forums have had allot of complaints of viruses from these yet there they still are. Examine that phrase I quoted it's a old one but a good one.

[Alf Tupper]

LeeMax - thank you, but as you don't accuse anybody of anything, I am happy for your post to be visible - I've brought it back from the trash bin.

What EW does about cheating? Well to make three jumps forward and suggest that it'll be outsourced to someone who'll do it 'wrong', and to support that proposal by accusing EW of promoting scams because of the 'earn $EMs' is two steps too far for me.

Let's keep this thread alive by all means, and show the devs that we seriously would like to see less 'interesting' hunt profiles in theHunter.

[leongt1954]

There was one earn em$ by Supersonic Adds and all you had to do was watch their videos and my son must have got over em$ 2000 but I notice they don't have them anymore now it's all survey stuff that I've told him not to go neer

[Knoxx212]

Alf they could clean up the whole earning EM$ but choose not to. My daughter plays The Sims and has earned many free DLCs just watching videos and not having to risk downloading maleware. As I have said "Your judged by the company you keep".

I've invested $86 just this month alone in this game and your telling me I should just walk away from this game because some FTP players want to be sure their not cheated out of 300 em$? Most companies use 3rd party programs for anti-cheat and DRMs why wouldn't EW do this?

I think it makes more sense to not allow guests to join competitions. Explain to me how a guest account getting to join competitions improves my gameplay? The free part of this game is basically just a demo they should just keep it that way.

Have those that want to use cheats to earn EM$ actually lose cash when they get caught. That's the biggest deterant.

[LeeMax]

Thanks for that Alf Tupper. I didn't want to cause any trouble.

EW wants the community to run around police the game for them. The player was reported and was very obviously using hacks but still placed third in the "whole lotta turkey" comp. If these cheaters do eventually get banned. Will those who spent a lot of time competing fairly be compensated with the ems they should have got? And what's stopping them from simply creating a new free guest account. And using there hacks again?

The most effective way to eliminate the majority of hackers. Is for guest players not to be able win Ems form comps or place on the hall of fame or leader boards. If cheaters get caught it will cost them every time they want to create a members account. That’s the obvious way to cut back the cheating. But EW will still have to get an effective anti-cheat software. For a game that cost a lot of money. There is no excuse for not dealing with hackers. And censoring forums and pretending the problem does not exist.

[Alf Tupper]

Knoxx - very simply my opinion is that the $EMs earning scheme hasn't been mentioned here for a long time as it's seldom an issue. When it was occasionally discussed, allegations of scamming, viruses and malware didn't stand up to scrutiny. We can have that debate all over again in another thread if you wish.

To then say that on this basis EW may outsource any anticheat work to a dodgy company is poor logic, and based on a lot of assumptions.

No one's telling you to walk away - where did that come from? I see the need for an effective solution sooner rather than later, so do you.

[LeeMax]

From today's status update http://news.thehunter.com/status-update-162/

As an interim solution we’ve decided to separate competitions for free animals into guest and member divisions, and this separation will happen as soon possible. We’ll also be looking into how we can further improve the situation.

I personally think this is a waste of time. One "feature" of the hack is the ability to hunt any animal without a license. The two guest accounts I linked to were both competing in comps for multiple "members only" species.
