Hacker protection idea

[ThouShallNot 963]

Great idea, but here's the thing. The way most  newbies get hacked is they get tricked by no lifers that say "I'll give you 1 millions crystals if you give me your password and email," right? So they'll just edit their sentence to "I'll give you 1 million crystals if you give me your password and your crystal password.

Well, it would protect smart people...

Smart people wouldn't give their password in the 1st place, nor make their password 123321.

My idea is for hacker protection: there can be a button that says "Lock crystals" this will prevent you from buying anything, this way if hackers enter your account, they won't be able to waste your crystals ;)

But this will have a password, you can choose the password for the crystal locker, and just incase a hacker enters your account, they will need a password to spend crystals. What do you think?

it's awesome but can we also do chat? because its possible that a hacker can get us banned

I like you idea, but perhaps it would be more beneficial if instead of password, this button would send you a confirmation email, and you will be able to confirm that you'd like to disable any purchase, and later deactivate it- also using a confirmation email. This way you will be able to add an extra layer of safety when, for instance, you're in a long absent, and will also not have to bother with pass-typing whenever micro-upgrading or stuff, which could be a bit irritating. Like creeperskelly said, your password should be enough for most purposes, and an additional password for everyday purposes might be a bit too much.

This is true, but it would make it harder for hackers.  A percentage of people would realize you didn't need to share the secondary protection to buy crystals and not fall for the scam.  At the end of the day it is impossible to completely protect everyone all you can do is deter as many scammers as possible.  I agree that email verification would be better.  As well as a legitimate method of buying crystals for other people.

 

I'd worry more that some people would be more likely to give out their password due to the additional protection.  Even so password scamming has become so epidemic it isn't a major concern.

Idea Is Good But If We Forget The Pass For Crystal locker So What Do We Have to Do

[Barra 1,445]

Great idea :D

There could be locker for supplies also.

The idea itself is good, But this feature also promotes scam, Players then will share their accounts to players who will Supposedly buy crystals for them(scammers), But what about drugs? Scammers also waste drugs, And on top of that they will use your account for more scams(If cought you account will be banned/blocked<YOUR ACCOUNT, NOT THE SCAMMERS!)
