Hello,

 

So I deduced to today that a high level player in my party was an Ex hacker due to them not having any luck yet actively playing. They did confess to me they used an infinite HP hack out of desperation to pass a story mission (350). They have now cleared the last mission.

 

The party contains mostly new players and this person is keeping track of our progress through the story and is providing very strong 6* medals that they promised they obtained legitimately (I did some reading, jewel hacks are near impossible as jewels are server based.) They are also killing raid bosses for us and the fact they sometimes put out a request for help on their own raid bosses shows to me they aren't hacking any more.

 

We are not bothered about ranks, the party motto is 'play4fun, not ranks'

 

Should we keep this player in the group?

I say remove him/her. That has happen in a party I'm still in. Two folks were hackers. 

I was told that their influence doesn't affect the ranking system, thanks to Square Enix.

I just say remove the person.

 

And next time when another person gets in your party, do a background check with his/her game stats. Just check for suspicious things.

 

Munny, his/her's Lux ranking, every thing if you have to.

 

Only way me and this other guy that is in the party I'm in can tell that these two guys were hackers were, no Lux count (by him helping me out with Hocus Pocus) and maxed Munny.

Exactly it isn't fair for other players. Let's those hackers create their own group .

these are good points, I did check their status beforehand and they were all pretty normal status considering they play a lot when an 'all quests cost 1 AP' event is on

 

keep in mind this is an Ex-hacker, not a current hacker.

 

they even showed me their keyblade set ups when I asked how they got so far, I don't remember them all but they often combo'd 5* uniform kairi with 6* illustrated ventus or 6* donald ver. B, they also had a 5* naminee (which would probably explains how the got past some of the bosses/strong heartless). I obviously cannot remember every single medal they had but it all seemed like legit combos for the end game quests. (i've seen those on youtube let's plays.)

 

I guess one red flag is that none of their medals had guilt but they could of just borrowed guilted medlals  from friends or spent jewels to continue hard quests

 

 

I've read that a player who's hacked cannot participate in solo rankings, but would they have any effect on party rankings or not? (if not, then the party would not have an unfair advantage in the party rankings. It's just I may have to keep this player around for a while as outside of the special quests, evo medals seem to be quite rare and they have a large medal diversity.)

 

I can get screenshots if you want to see their status, keyblades and set-ups

The simple answer is no. They hacked it so they shouldn't be allowed to play.

What I meant "ranking system" I mean like: Party Ranking, Solo Ranking (The Unions), even Coliseum Ranking. All of them. So I don't think so, since Square Enix made sure no hacker's influences will affects the player's influences regarding the whole ranking systems.   

 

If you could, I would love to see the screenshots. If you don't mind. Only if you don't mind. 

i'll get some screenshots (I couldn't last time as I have a relatively new phone and didn't know how to take screenshots)

 

do you want keybaldes? status or both?

why you have to remove them? they did hack the game yes they did. you said it yourself they EX-hacker. i did too. i tried the 1-hit apk back then and got softbanned the moment they found i cleared hundred missions within few hours. even if they still around, i believe they won't affect ranking systems including your pt ranking. it's their games they have rights to play it whatever they wanted it as long as it doesn't detrimental to others. i'd say keep them they might carry and help your party when multiplayer launched next year. heck i would make hacker party if i still play NA version.

I kinda was thinking the same thing,

 

one thing I should mention Is: In addition to their medals I was thinking:

 

"they probably wanted to join because they want to help newbies, maybe they want to redeem themselves in their own eyes?"

yes. if you played lots of online games you must have realized. there's only 2 reason why people want to get strong, either to get cocky and boast around or to carry others. In UX what you want to boast? extreme luck in pull? high rank because you're whales? i'd say don't punish them further for their 'sins' (lol?). give them chance. you have the authority(?)so once they started acting up you know what to be done.

You know I see more and more with zero lux in my party does that mean they have hacked?

But they don't cheat atleast with exp and money.
