I deleted what I had originally replied to your post, Worba, in the interest of avoiding further conflict in this thread. But I agree with you 100%.Worba wrote:Yeah, in all seriousness, falling for one of these scams does not mean you deserve to be hacked - if you're not intentionally trying to hurt others then you should be able to expect to be left alone, whether you are "smart", "stupid" or etc.
It's great that they have warnings to watch out for suspicious messages and all, but that in no way absolves hackers nor does it mean victims "deserve what they get".
That's actually a dangerous mentality.

Just hope that going to that site by itself, doesn't infect your machine with keyloggers, trojans and various other nasty organisms, which is a definite possibility with attack sites (and having an antivirus program isn't 100% protection)...Karathyriel wrote:I always go to these sites and log in.

I cry inside every day, as common courtesy withers away. Are you part of the problem or will you help it grow?
Actually, people shoud get their bank alts to level 10 anyway. Blizzard doesn't keep records on characters below level 10. So if you somehow fall for this really obvious scam and your account does get hacked, the iems and gold your level 1 bank had will be lost for good.Makoes wrote:What I love is the lv1 toons that whisper "hello"
I always respond back with, "Hello Do I know you or are you a fail scammer ass-wipe wasting my time?"...funny, I never get response back...hmm...
But there have been those false scam whispers for years, and the trade and other channel spams. What I would like to see though is having trade and other chat channels unavailable to characters below lv 10. That eliminate much spam for many people, and then it would just be the /say spam to worry about in the given areas. But I'd rather one area just be effected then all areas withing a chat channel.
Yes, this may cause issues for some low lv toons trying to make bank alts, but honestly, how long does it take to get to lv 10 anyhow? So, really not that much of an issue. That and most charter sigs can be done just from people in one city.
