Thread: Dawnseeker, we need you !

    Default Dawnseeker, we need you !

    Hey Dawnseeker.

    As a lot of people know that there is a method out there for evony players getting other evony players banned by using their ID numbers and switching them around and paying via paypal to buy them cents and then reversing the transaction causing a dispute which in-turn gets the account temporarily suspended after a few days. It use to be an instant ban when this happened but Im assuming it has been patched. The fact is that this email here says the account will be suspended after 3 days.

    Dear Customer,

    We were recently notified that one of your payments made to us on May 21,2012 has been reversed.

    -----------------------------------
    Order Details
    -----------------------------------
    Order Number: XTUHAV6R9KYYQN6X
    Transaction ID: 40W75046B6726482U

    We request that you take action in response to this message within 3 days so that we can assist you in resolving this issue. You will need to contact Paypal or the credit card issuing bank to reauthorize this payment if you are the legitimate account/credit card holder, or have the owner's authorization to make this purchase for Evony cents.

    Because Paypal or the credit card issuing bank has placed a temporary hold on the funds associated with this transaction, access to your Evony account will be temporarily disabled if this issue is not resolved within 3 days.

    We appreciate your cooperation as we together attempt to resolve this issue. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may experience. Please be aware that we will be unable to provide any additional information regarding this matter until the conclusion of the investigation.


    The person who is about to be banned has a a Level 14 and 16 Historic City. We are not 'having ago at evony' we just want this to be resolved before he is temporarily suspended....many of us have reported this Via the help centre and my number next to the request is :577325

    Please do not allow this to continue! More information is on the Request sent through the help centre. I will not name the alliance responsible for this but please dawnseeker help us, before it is too late.

    Default This is a disgrace

    It's not the first time on NA33 that this known security vunerability has been exploited to take HH's and a lvl 16.

    Please Dawnseeker, don't let this account be suspended and yet another 16 taken due to cheating.

    This security vulnerability only kills servers faster and people don't play and spend cash on dead servers. This hurts Evony as much as it hurts the hacked party.

    How would one get anothers ID to make the transaction? If that information is easily obtainable, I would think that would be the patch that needs to be made.

    It is easily obtainable, it also allows other 'glitches'.

    As I don't want it to become more widespread, I will not post how here, but it does need to be fixed. Its a pain in the rear before they use it to get accounts suspended, so even if they closed that loophole, they should just seal off the code from us ever being able to find it, although not sure what they can do about people who already have theirs widely known (enemy alliance wide).

    The problem is that this "hack" is so simple a 3 year old can do it, but preventing it would involve code changes to the fb API, which isn't so simple.

    It's easily provable that the disputed Paypal amount is bogus, but Evony take so long to investigate that the account goes into automatic suspension and the hackers alliance then waltzes off with a capital city and HH's and no comback.

    Meaning an account that someones worked on for more than a year is truely trashed.

    Please Evony, just this once act quickly and prevent this from happening.

    Paypal isn't that secure believe me- especially when it come to FB - if you have a Paypal linked acct to your FB you can buy game credits at an unlimited rate. My 8 year old loves CarTown and managed to run up a £80 credit card bill when I let him play it on my FB. There was absolutely NO sign in required at all. This is because Paypal flashes up a disclaimer the first time you use it with your FB acct. Like you are gonna remember that!!

    Pulls Thread back on track.

    This thread is to bring to Evony's attention that they are about to autoban an account that has been victim to a well known hack. Despite many complaints directly to Evony and this thread the ban still seems to be going ahead.

    Evony - please stop this unfair behaviour, we are your customers, we are the people who pay absurd amounts of money for pixels, please, look after us for a change.

    Agreed. We arent complaining at evony, because everything is trial and error. Im sure eventually evony will be a very secure game and for now we just need to bring this situation to light

    I am concerned that this known security issue is not being addressed immediately. If I have understood this correctly, someone can buy you a pack without your knowledge and then reverse the transaction and can cause this issue - then would it not be better for gift tokens to be issued to avoid this situation. But the issue at hand is that someone who has played and paid to grow their account is being severely disadvantaged. I think this issue needs urgent and immediate attention.
