Excuses Excuses Excuses!

Here are the top 5 excuses hackers use to deny the crime of item hacking:

5. binigay lang sa akin ung account na ito. Di ko alam na hack pala. This account was given to me. I have no idea that this account hacked another player.

Some players would rather play a high level character than start fresh.


4. Sa computer shop po ako ng lalaro na key/Eye log po ako.
I play at a computer shop and I may have been key /eye logged by someone.

Yes, there are some computer shops that install a key log program. This program monitors each keystroke a user types on a keyboard. With growth of online games, computer shops have learned to combat this thing and players are very much aware of this program and are cautious of how to take care of their accounts. However, eye log one must be extra careful while typing any information.

*eye log = act of looking at someone else’s keyboard while typing a password.


3. Pinsan / barkada/ kapatid ko po yung gumamit ng account ko
.My cousin, friend, sibling was the one using my account.

Some players make their accounts free for all to use.

2. Binili ko po yan ng PHP.I bought the items using cash

Rather than spending hours hunting and grinding there are some who would resort to buying virtual items for cash.

1. Pilot ko po yan.I have someone who pilots my account

Most hardcore players have pilots who play their accounts to ensure that the character continues to level up

*Pilot: A player’s alter ego, someone who takes over when the account owner can not physically play his / her account.

All is Fair in Love and Warcraft


Picture this: all of your enemies' troops crushed, killed, burnt. Their heads skewered in poles surrounding your fort. You sit comfortably atop your afghan rug, and the wine pours endlessly like the blood of the fallen. Yet, news of survivors in the city you just conquered reached your ears. What do you do? Do you:

a.) Order your forces to gather all the spoils of war, including survivors, rape their churches and burn their women (errr...), make soap out of their children.
b.) Send more troops until they have built their own economy and democracy patterned after the one your founding fathers decreed, introduce them to the glory of eating at McDonald's, the joys of watching Desperate Housewives on their cable, and, of course, all the fun that internet porn has to offer.

or

c.) construct cannon towers beside their last, remaining infrastructures. Do this slowly, so as to make the survivors tremble in fear day after day after day. Do this deliberately, feed on the gradual breakdown of their spirits. Douche yourself in the tears of a thousand virgins.

See, why put your foe's city under siege when you can construct cannon towers beside their infrastructures after completely eradicating their forces?

This is how I like to finish a battle: slow, painful, and every bit as painful psychologically, as it is physically.


That's just me. How do you play?
