[Ban] Cheating For Achievements

[Dan1]

Hello Guys,

Recently i noticed few peoples are cheating for geting all remaning axhievement of games, i know few of them who unlock 80 to 100 achivements on daily bases within a moment.

Actually my question is there any way to ban those users to geting achievements with unfair means?

I reporeted few users but Steam modraters or Valve didn't take any action against those users.

Steam moderators can't ban people from games, they don't have that power. Only Valve. Second is they don't accept report from people.
The other thing is achievements give really nothing of value outside TF2. Yes you can get banned for achievement cheating but you have to do it on a VAC server.

The game devs can game ban you if they find out as this has happened at times so you can always send reports to both steam and the game's support.

They are probably using savegames from other people.

A long time ago my account was hacked and the hacker stole over $100 from my account but not only he stole money he also messed with my accout. As he was messing with my account he removed all my friends and games also trolled my bio and stuff. Now the main reason i comment on this is because not long ago i found out he also messed with my achievements and made it to where it looked like i hacked them in

Looking at your achievements; there is clear evidence of SAM usage in 2013, 2014 and 2015 so you cannot blame the 'hacker' for that unless you were hijacked 3 times in 3 years and each time the 'hacker' 'hacked your achievements.

Also i love to earn achievements and it is no fun to have these unearned ones. If they could even restart them for me i'd love that.

Achievements cannot be reset by Valve. You can remove them the way you originally earned them but they become botched so they cannot be earned legitimately again.

He had my account for a long time and i found this out not long ago and i have no idea wth is SAM

There is evidence on your profile of cheated achievements in 3 seperate years so the 'hacker' excuse doesn't wash. Either way; they cannot be removed to be earned again or simply reset.

I came here for help because my account was hacked for a long time but i guess i came to the wrong place since you want to acuse me for somthing i did not do. Also i dont understand what you are talking about evidence and SAM what ever that is. All i know is my stuff hot hacked and i need help fixing it.

Nothing can be done. As you've already discovered; Valve will ignore all tickets in regards to this. Users are responsible for their accounts at all times and the activity that occurs in it.

Also note i was to hack my own account for some dumb reason btw idk how to hack why would i come to a post where people are reporting others because of this problem? Does that not sound stupid to you?

Steam Achievement Manager is not a 'hack'. We see many users who've manipulated their achievements in the past who then want to earn them legitimately but after asking in the public forums; they are informed they cannot do so. You stated in your original post that you were 'hacked' (phished is the correct term) and that the 'hacker' actually 'messed' with your profile. All your data is viewable and there is evidence that your achievments were hacked in 2013, 2014 and 2015 so either you did this; or the 'hacker' did it in 3 seperate years on numerous occassions. You cannot bypass time-stamped evidence like this. Either you were compromised 3 times in 3 years on numerous dates or you cheated your achievements - it's one or the other and some of us have been round far too long to know which one it is as we see these incidents on a weekly basis.

I too have personally witnessed somebody using SAM software (just now) in order to unlock a whole load of acheivements on his account. I know it works but it's unfair. To me, there is no sense in buying a game and then before even playing it, unlock all the achievements...

Given that you responded to a 6 month old post, yes, I'm inclined to believe you were indeed born yesterday. ;)

You are a bad guy, you hacked your own account to unlock the achievements, and now you are blaming someone else. It's all your doing. You should be banned immediately......

I agree with you 100% mate but, sadly, Valve/Steam seems to not be interested on put a control on people hacking Steam to get achievements for free, it's sad but is the actual reality of things, me too would love that in future Steam could take some more severe action against this bad attitude that many players have but i also have already the solution for this problem, the fact is that Valve totally ignore who play games in a honest way favoring the cheaters (VAC servers a part but is a minority of games that use it).

The solution i found is this (in case Valve would be interestd in making Steam a better place than the Far West it is right now)...
Those hacking software used to cheat your achievements require you are offline from Steam, activate the cheat, then you go online and you get your achievs for free, but this would not work if achievements could be achieved ONLY if we are online and Steam would monitor every game (not just VAC ones) with some better anticheat linked to yuor online status, this way it would be almost impossible to use these hacks/cheats or at least would be extremely much harder for the cheaters.
But i'm sure noone will do anything against this plague that put an infection in a platform that could be 100 times better if achievements would be granted only to players who spent serious time and effort and skills to unlock them instead this ridiculous system that spread achievs free for all...
Thank to God a group of skilled, honest and brave players has created a web site that keep trck of all Steam users and their achievements and can spot the cheaters tagging them and their account as RED with the hacker/cheater tag and denying them to enter in th ladder they have created there
http://astats.astats.nl/astats/

Meanwhile that Valve would decide to open their eyes over the really bad situation the achievements linked to their platform is involved i recommend to you and everyone else who, like me, feel to be an honest player and love to play games as they're inteded to, to continue to follow the path of honesty and ignore those bad players, cause you only cheat yourself when you do such weird things, because you can trick everyone else but not yourself and you will know that youu failed winning in that game because you're just a loser.

this is how a game looks like that has grindy and lifetime-worthy achievements AND has protected achievements.

dunno how often i explained that, it is up to the dev to provide the achievement implementation.

resetting achievements, possible, up to the dev.
protecting achievements from userside change, possible, up to the dev.
let the user switch achievements on and off like they want, possible, up to the dev.

@Ron: basicly everything you said is wrong, dumb and unprofounded and made up with zero background knowledge about everything and i can assure you everyone at the top achievement ranking websites uses a well-known tool to unlock their stuff. they just dont do obviously with all cheeves in a very little or at the same time. because that is the only thing that makes it detectable and in addition, some games unlock condition-met achievements on triggerpoints, like on game-exit, which will result in several achivements unlocked at the same time. i guess one finger death punch still does it, if you want an example.

and last but not least. achievements are hackable on every platform. including xbox and psn, and no, you will not get banned.

Altough i have to say i did not like your reply i must also admit that i respect you because you seems to me an educated person and experienced player and i agree with you when you say that my background knowledge is near zero, that's true, but i just want that something could change in the future of Steam, i understand that the ball is on the side of the developers and not on Valve but, would be for me too complicated to register in all the developers web sites and repeat the same thing to each one of them, i prefer to write it in a single place and, since we are all here together like a big (chaotic) family, i think is the right place to write my opinions, then will be up to developers if they would want to make some changes in their games in cooperation with Valve for a better experience of evryone of us, so if things will not change, fine, we'll continue this way, no problem, but i will not change my opinion that this way is a very sad and bad way to go, thank you for your reply mate.
