TiNnYzEuS Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 It’s a shame this happened to you but how do people still get caught out on this? Personally I would immediatly turn off my console, why people still click their trophies and sync them up is beyond me. If you had turned it off and deleted your user profile then synced up again they wouldn’t be on there. I’ve no doubt someone already said this though.

The-Man-In-Black Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Honestly, I believe that exceptions need to be made for games where it is well known that hacked trophies can pop through no fault of the player. I'm no fan of "guilty until proven innocent." My options are to either (a) stop playing popular games that I paid good money for like RDR or BO2, (b) risk getting flagged as a cheater because I happened to get randomly dropped into a hacked lobby, or (c) go through a long, pain in the ass process of deleting and restoring my profile or even reformatting my console and praying to God that it works before my account gets auto-synched? I think I'll take a hard pass on all of that, thank you very much. I've turned in tons of obvious cheaters myself. I have no problems flagging people who have hacked trophies where the player has to take active steps in order to get them. No problem. Flag away. But in cases where the only game that has questionable trophies is a game where a casual player can just auto-pop trophies by picking up the wrong weapon or being dropped in the wrong lobby shouldn't cause them to get flagged. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, and flagging someone who happened to get dropped in the wrong lobby just flies in the face of that. Sure, that means that there might be a small handful of players who might "get away with it", but I'd be willing to bet I can count on one hand the number of players who (a) are trophy hunters, (b) are going to *only* hack trophies for one specific game, and (c) are willing to lie about it. Of all the accounts I've seen and turned in over the years, I have never once seen a player limit their hacked trophies to one game. If they're going to go through the effort to get hacked trophies, they are going to go all-out. Every single player with hacked trophies I have ever seen has had hundreds of bad trophies across dozens of games. Nobody is going to sit there and go "herp derp i think i'll risk my reputation over a single game from a last gen console." There really should be exceptions for games with known issues like BO2. Maybe a 3 strikes rule. If it happens once, you're OK. Twice....judgement call (leaning towards no unless you have a *really* good explanation). Three times, *then* flag them, as by that point it becomes obvious they're trying to exploit a loophole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BO2 isn't really a game i would be proud for platting anyway tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battlefield: Bad Company was unobtainable in 2013 or 2014 and got back obtainable in 2015 yet the game is released in 2008. at least EA cares about one of their best-selling franchises unlike Activision does with COD. you're the biggest liar if you think COD games on the PS3 are empty with hackers. ill try and see how the game is as of April 2018. you might be right about that one since its been a year from last time i played the game. overall i don't regret hiding such a trash trophy list with not a good platinum to be proud of anyway.

Oh, I've seen it more times than I can count. The excuses I saw on sites like whywasibanned when that was a thing could keep me entertained for hours. This is my own personal experience, but most of the time the people who tried to claim it was an "accident" also tried to hack about 476 games and started complaining once they realized that the hack was blatantly obvious, or they got called out on their bullshit when they tried to claim that their hacked trophies were legit. Keep in mind that we are talking about a game that's over half a decade old on a last gen system, where the trophies aren't all that difficult to begin with, in a game where it is possible (exceedingly rare, but still possible) to end up with one or more hacked trophies through no fault of your own. Any serious completionists out there that care about their completion percentage either never played these games anyway or completed them years ago. None of the games that would deserve to be on a "whitelist" are even on current-gen systems. I'd be willing to bet that I could count on one hand the total number of people who would take advantage of the loophole to "get away with it", and to be honest I'd rather see a (literal) handful of people "get away with it" than to see a serious trophy hunter get flagged because they decided to pop in an old game for a bit and just got really unlucky, and I believe in giving an otherwise-legitimate player the benefit of the doubt until I see a reason not to.

I think it's a good conversation to have in general, regardless of the actions or situation of the OP or any other player-specific circumstances. From what I've read, there are apparently a handful of games where, under some circumstances, a casual player may end up having all his trophies auto-pop because he ended up in the wrong lobby or ended up picking up a weapon dropped by a hacker. And it's not like games like Dark Souls, BO2, or RDR are obscure or unpopular. It would be nice to see a "benefit of the doubt" policy implemented. The first time....sure, you'll get the benefit of the doubt unless there's a compelling reason not to (such as having hacked trophies in other games). The second time is pushing it. I'd say you have to come up with a compelling reason to explain how you really just got that unlucky in two separate games and avoid getting flagged, especially if the timestamp is relatively close. The third time? Yeah, now you're just hunting for hacked trophies. Here's your flag. I think the mods of the site are plenty smart enough to use common sense to determine who does and doesn't deserve a flag. Full Disclosure: I own BO2. I do not have all the trophies for it, but I do have all the base-game multiplayer. On rare occasions, I do occasionally jump into the game and play a couple of rounds on my PS3. I'm not going to stop playing games I paid good money for on the off-chance that my trophies may auto-pop. And if I do get unlucky enough to end up in a hacked lobby, I'm not going to go out of my way to delete and recreate my profile, or reformat my PS3, or whatever. I hunt trophies for my own personal satisfaction, and not to have a dick-waving contest over them. I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks of my trophy list and if it were to happen to me, anyone who calls me a cheater over it can fuck right off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are better threads to have this conversation but that's just personal opinion... since we're already in full swing in this thread and doing the full disclosure thing we'll, here's mine...i have multiple ps3s and one of them a specific model that I purchased while working on the white list thread...i wanted to be 100% on how mod menus worked for games that people were claiming had hackers unwillingly pop their trophies for them...i didn't trust some random dudes on the internet so with the guidance of a tech savvy friend, I jailbroke my newly purchased console myself (which is why I bought it in the first place)...i was able to test out the latest online mod menus available at the time on alt accounts for several games that were in question, including black ops 2... now, I've always been a legit gamer and only used the console to pop my own trophies (or not pop them - I found out that some games have auto-popping hacker myths) which I was able to successfully remove...i haven't used the cfw console for anything but testing and I was incredibly paranoid of having any kind of ban against me by sony as it's pretty risky stuff...i have to admit though, it was kind of fun figuring out all the tech stuff that I had been previously oblivious to and some of the things the menus can do is pretty neat to check out... I would agree with the "I like to play whatever, whenever and as long as I'm playing legit it's really nobody's business but mine how i view my trophy list"...although the leaderboards here are of very little concern to me, I have to admit that I'd be pretty annoyed if I had to go through the flag process or was branded as anything but a legit player due to some idiot hacker...it'd ruffle my feathers even more if getting hacked affected parts of my profile, left me unable to join gaming sessions, or use site features normally... if it did happen that someday someone with some form of mod menu started dinging my trophies for me in a public lobby, i think i probably would go as far as trying to delete/recreate my user to avoid hacked trophies as I'd rather earn my trophies legit or not at all...it's just a personal philosophy thing...if someone decides to keep them on their profile and doesn't mind the repercussions here or elsewhere, then that's up to them...to each their own, aye?...

The-Man-In-Black Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 But the point is there shouldn't *be* repercussions for games where there is a legitimate possibility of a casual player getting his trophies auto-popped through no fault of their own. There should be some form of a whitelist for games like BO2 where this could happen. We both agree on that. Yes, in theory, a cheater *could* go through the effort of getting into a hacked lobby (My understanding is that they're exceedingly rare enough where it would probably be easier just to play the game legitimately than it would be to find a hacked lobby) and then claiming their trophies are legitimate. But I think cases like that would be so exceedingly rare as to be statistically insignificant, and I think it would be better to let the occasional cheater "get away with one" than to flag an otherwise legitimate player. Regarding the leaderboards, if someone is so bad that they have to hack BO2, then I can guarantee they're nowhere near good enough to impact the leaderboards anyway without resorting to hacking a bunch of other trophies as well. I just don't see a legitimate reason for not creating a whitelist for these type of situations. I would think that "Hey, we know it can happen and we're not going to flag you for it. Just be careful" is a better message to put out there than "we're going to treat you as a cheater without proof". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two problem games are BO2 and WaW. So of all the CoD games, I've only experience with getting reports about this stuff in those two games, and those two games I've dealt with thousands of cases.

All I know is that I still play MW2 to this day and I have come across 2 games over the past few years and what has happened is it has frozen our characters in place and it came up with green text reading "Unlocking achievements" (Mind you, the super jump and turning off and on different mods was a dead giveaway that there was a modder, but whatever). I went onto some shady forums and was looking for some of this stuff. Came over a video with over 125k views and I noticed his username. He was already flagged on the site for a couple of games, but here we go: https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/175-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/YT-Chris48x?order=date That's what someone who has popped their trophies with a mod menu looks like. I know he did it to himself, and he has done this in several other games. Yeah, nothing like all the stars all popping at the same time, which is more than 99.9% of all the reports for MW2. I notice the star related trophies pop in a different order than what save file users do too. Edited April 6, 2018 by MMDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCenaSong- Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Personally I think this trophy, as a unique case, should be treated in the same way as a known glitch unlocking a trophy before it should. If other trophies were unlocked too in that session (especially like half the darn list lol), at the same time that's different and probably should stay flagged as it's impossible to tell if it's on purpose, but if the person has clearly done the whole game legit aside from an unobtainable unlocking which is KNOWN to be unlocked via random hackers via random chance I say it should just be let slide entirely, not removing it or flagging it or anything, treat it as if it weren't unobtainable. Heck, even if proven they got into a lobby on purpose for that 1 trophy I frankly wouldn't care either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
