Forums - Sony - PS3 hack taken to new level now hackers able to get tons of free Trophies

Aion on 17 January 2011

Well if i had the oppurtunity to hack trophies and not getting caught, i personally would not do it. I did it to my gamerscore and it got reset on 2 different accounts, its a bad feeling, and you'll wish you played fairly.

I hope these aren't able to sync. Or atleast SONY can stomp these guys out. It's a slap to the face for those that put the 300 hours of effort into Disgaea3. Learnt from harsh failures in Demon's Souls. Earned that 1% weekly rank in KZ2. I pushed through KZ2's elite mode. Killed 52K zombies in Prototype and platinum'd it's ridiculous events. The one man armiess in Socom:C and MAG. Went through Hell in GoW3. I could go on. 


This. It's a sense of achievement. What is the point in cheating? To brag that your cool enough to hack trophies?

Yep :(

 

Really sad too

Strangely enough I remember when MS tried to block people from doing this on the 360. People here were pissed. Calling MS greedy along with a few other thinggs :3

How so? What's greedy about MS blocking people from hacking their gamer score? Can people use their gamer score to get stuff on XBL? If so, then I still don't understand the greedy rationale. People using a hack to get free stuff they didn't earn, sounds like the greed accusation is 180 degrees round the wrong way (see what I did there? 360...180 degrees the wrong way?)

About a year ago MS blocked unlicensed memory cards from the system. It was easy enough to try to get them licensed, but memory cards from Datel were denied because THEY WERE USED FOR CHEATING! People went on a ranting spree about how MS just wanted more business for their cards. People shut up real quick a few months later when they announced external HD support ;_;

Edit: To elaborate. The memory cards would be used to download and load custom saves on the 360 to unlock achievements 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

Ahhh so the greedy bastards accusation wasn't about the achievements hack, but rather the blocking of after market hardware. Well I'm no fan of companies doing the proprietary HW thing, but in cases where non-std HW allows you to do naughty stuff then I think it's fine to close it down. I do remember this issue now and I called MS greedy bastards at the time. But I didn't know about the achievements hack. MS are still greedy bastards, but on this particular issue they had motivation other than greed to take the action they did.

Posted already. Also just to make my point known again. If you need to hack trophies then you seriously are a pathetic joke.


You've been quite angry lately...

 

IMO this is a good thing in a way... It proves how useless trophies are (ohhh I want to shoooow off how many trophiez I got in Dis Game Dooood).


How? How do losers that need to hack trophies compare to people that put in the serious time and effort to get them? If anything, this makes trophies useless because anyone can get them now but before this, trophies showed that you really put alot of effort into mastering a game. You can't say that a hack shows the concept of a trophy system is pointless. 


But I never get a sense of achievement because it doesn't affect my game at all in any way. Leveling up in an MMO and being able to use a new weapon through that level up is more of an achievement because in game you gain strength, etc. Trophies and achievements do no such thing (from what I've seen and done).


So the world must feel the same way as you?


Oh, I'm just saying what I feel about these achievement stuff... I could care less about it generally though. It doesn't make a game add or lose anything right?


All depends on how you look at it.

I can use cheat codes/gameshark to use that weapon you took hours leveling up to use.
I can use hacks to get that trophy that took a crazy a one man army in MAG  to get.

Yeah, but the trophy doesn't add anything special to the game you are playing. If I hack to get the best weapon in the game, it feels good for sometime and actually makes a change to the game (You're STRONGER). Trophies don't do that. I guess they give off a sense of accomplishment... because they are called trophies or achievements... for some reason.
