Botting, Scamming, and Hacking: Things That Aren't Necessary

Geezus Christ.

This is the second time I've had a Gaia account hacked.

And frankly, it's getting old quick.

Hackers are all too common on Gaia. They promise you lots of gold and Gaia cash for free in quick easy steps so you can go buy that ultra-rare collectible that people usually spend $20 getting. It's pathetic.

First off, hackers on Gaia is simply stupid. For one, people, Gaia is a free online site with optional buying options. Getting gold is a task, but not an impossible one. Botting and cheating is NOT NECESSARY. Seriously, who gets that addicted to getting gold and items? Plus, it's just wrong to take them away from other players who have faithfully earned their gold and inventory items the right way. Pure greed, that's what it is...Secondly, phishing people so you can take their accounts and use them to spam other people is annoying and stupid as well. What is it about having virtual items that makes some geeks go ga-ga enough to want to steal them from someone else?

It thoroughly annoys me. And it sucks to be a victim. One minute, you're happily surfing -- and the nest, you're blocked out, panicking that your log-in doesn't work anymore. Try going from having over twenty hard-earned collectibles and 200 items in your inventory and 36,000 gold....to nothing. Plus, all your threads and posts are now under that faker's name, possibly even rigged to continue the scam that got you, your friend's list gone, your journal, gone, and your profile blocked.

Hackers....get a life.
Do something more productive like breaking into the Pentagon instead of bugging young adults on a free website.
