User blog:LightningCoyote/I have seen quite a few hackers recently

I have seen a few real hackers in aj lately. I can't tell if there are really more or if I am just in the places they tend to hang out more often though. One of them was even sending out hacked jags to prove they were a hacker. The jags didn't take anyones account though, or at least I don't think they did. when I asked, people said they just looked scary but didn't actually do anything. I declined getting a jag but I know they were really a hacker because they were a new account with an achievement that was taken out of the game a long time ago.

Even though that hacker didn't seem to mean any harm, I still really don't like hacking. Only bad can come from it, and most hackers do mean harm. It has consequences on the game as a whole. If hackers hack items into the game they can affect the rarity system in big ways. Just imagine if someone hacked in a bunch of magenta sheep cloaks or magenta furries. Anyone who traded for one before the hack just lost a lot of rares. And there are also the hackers who take others accounts. Whoever just got hacked lost everything in aj. It can be hard to recover from someone scamming a few betas, just imagine everything in your account dissapearing. Other types of hacks are terrible to, they cause fear in those who see them and the general community. People who are afraid to play aj probably won't.
