but hacking is more common in maplestory and runescape(a game that my cuz plays) than in any other mmo
Pretty much, I mentioned part of this on another thread but when I was into Runescape something like 2003/2004, my friend scammed alot of people and even though he only made about 26million gp (some freaks legitimately own hundreds more in that stupid game) his stats were pretty average but still sold his account for about $340 Australian on Ebay.
Kids fall for the most obvious scams, my friend did basic trade scamming but other people steal passwords with the whole "I'm an angry employee of Jagex and I can give you free items in spite" story and hundreds of players send an email to the guy with their details. If they're that stupid they shouldn't be online.
I now remember roughly about the same time, I watched the #1 rank Runescape account, Zezima sell on Ebay for something like $18 000 which is 20k for me. I think it said the item was in California, the seller and bidder both had transaction history so it looked pretty genuine to me.
Kinda ironic they spent that much money to play one of the worst games in this side of the millennium.
