User blog:Æcia/T-this is just sad...

I can't honestly believe that our game has come to this... This is a kids game! It's just sad... Ok, XD you guys are probably really confused right now so let me stop trying to make an intro... and let me get on with the facts. Ok, probably all of you know about hacking, scamming, and auto accept mods. If you don't, then this will help you:

AJ Definition of-

Hacking: Getting onto another jammer's account and taking their items, and transferring them onto your account. Usually you use other ways to get their password besides asking them.

Scamming: There are many definitions of scamming but the most common one is, asking people to trade you things, and telling them that the better the trade, the more chances they have of winning an item. This is probably the most common method of scamming- trust trades (you tell someone to trade you something, and you promise to give it back).Trade wars and gift wars are also an example of scamming, but not always.

Auto Accept Mods: Basically a version of hacking but, you download a mod onto your device enabling you to have all of your trades automatically accepted. For example, you trade a necklace for a lphd and they automatically accept. Sad IK...

Guys honestly..... Some people wonder why so many people are quitting, and this is one of the main reasons. On youtube there are hundreds-no thousands of videos saying "Quitting AJ - Scammed me... crying..." or "My lphd was hacked by -" or even "i warned her not to trade....".

It's depressing to hear that your friends have gotten scammed/hacked. It's even worse experiencing it. Unluckily for me, I have. Some people think that the AJ world has gotten 'better' after Fman and Wretchedjungle were banned but... has it really gotten better? Every. Single. Day. I see people advertising in Aldan, "GIVING AWAY MY LIST AT MY DEN!", with hds and spikes on trade. I mean, who wouldn't want free spikes but... who would honestly give them away except for youtubers. The rest of the community has gotten to selfish for that anyway. But, we are humans, so even though we go to the giveaways still know in the back of our heads that it will be a scam. Part of the fact that scammers are so sucsessful is our faults. We all are so greedy that we want more items, and we arent happy with what we have, we rely on giveaways that we know are fake to get rarer. We would rather waste our time on giveaways, rather than going into Aldan and trading. We are willing to sacrifice what we have, to get something we know isnt real. This is one of the biggest faults as a community.

Why do people even come to giveaways anymore? Even the people who are doing 'scam busts' almost always end up trading something, and getting scammed. We tell ourselves that we arent going to trade but then, "Where did my spikes go?" happens. Literally, I went to a giveaway before writing this because my friend jagged me to come. At the giveaway there were 2 rare arctic wolves calling themselves the scam police. They both had rim hds. They were wearing black longs and those police hats. They were yelling about it being a scam the whole time, telling everyone not to fall for it, telling everyone that the never get scammed, but at the end of the giveaway, the hds were gone and so was their confidence. To sum it up, they both got scammed.

Nobody likes getting scammed but we both know that scamming isnt the worst of it. Scamming is basically manipulating a child, getting them to trust you, and BOOM, taking their items. But, then hacking rolls its way in. Hacking is something none of us have much control over. Even if you lock your account, hackers often have a way of getting through it if they are good enough. Those are the hackers that you really have to watch out for, those who are skilled as Fman and Wretched. But there are also those stupid lil hackers who literally just get people's passwords by tricking them into giving them their passords. Trust me... it's not pretty. I mean, I do tell some of my really close friends my passwords, but only people ik IRL and people who I trust. But that doesn't always work out. My friend told me her passoword, and I told her mine. But then she actually got hacked by this person and she blamed it on me. But later on, I got hacked too so she knew it wasn't me, phew... That really messed up our friendship. After that, we both locked our accounts more often and it stopped. Lastly, there are those Session ID hackers. Those are the hackers who ask you to download a cookie onto your device and then they tell you to tell them your session ID. They don't exactly hack from scratch but they still hack.

Lastly, we have one of the saddest methods of stealing items... Auto accept mods. You can find plenty of these on youtube and you can actually download them directly from there... That's how my dphd disappeared. It's so sad because you literally see the trade in front of you eyes and then you can't decline it. Let me tell you exactly how it happened, and a few tips on how to prevent it.

Ok, I was in Wootmoo's den when I got a Jag from a member new jammer who told me to go to their den. I jagged back, asking "Why?" and they replied saying that they wanted to offer for my dphd. I told them that it wasn't for trade and they persisted, telling me that if I let them offer, they would accept an under for their tan hd, which I really wanted. I went to their den and they buddied me and told me to put it on trade. I put it on and then boom.... it was gone.... I got locked out of their den immediately. I think that it wasn't their main because that account didnt have any items in it a few days later. It left me heartbroken and I left AJ for a while....

Now for a few tips!

1. Don't put your best items on trade, just to be careful

2. If someone wants to offer for something not on trade, ask for their offer beforehand.

3. Make or trade for a masterpiece that says Not on Trade, Not for Trade. It usually keeps the owners of these mods away.

4. Lastly, don't go to suspiscious dens, and don't asscociate with people who are taking items and hacking, because, even if they are your best friend, they culd turn on you if greed overcomes them. Trust me.
