WANTED! Username "[edited]"

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Hello everyone,

I'm in the Reaver Fleet and we recently decided to recruit a player by the name of "[edited]" who was interested in our fleet. The problem however is that this guy only join, wiped our fleet bank clean and then left. Now I bet most of you figure that we did not set the fleet bank permissions properly.. but we did and even tested them. This was a couple of patches ago though and now the permissions for the fleet bank (at least ours) does not work. Anyone can grab whatever they want..

So now we want to warn fellow fleeters and players of this guy and of this bug/glitch. Happy hunting and hopefully you won't get screwed like we did. Best of luck, cya!

    This player has already been mentioned here as a bank thief. Also another player with the name [edited].

    "[edited]" is known for this. The best bet would be to contact a GM,a nd throw an announcement into zone chat asking for guilds that have been scammed by him to put in a ticket as well. If enough guilds do this, he'll get banned.

    This guy joined my fleet as well. For 5 min. My fleet is Damage Control.

    Im not sure if he took any stuff. But as far as I know he's the only person to ever quit our fleet and like I said he joined, and then immediately quit less than 5 min. after.

    Apparently, judging by your post, DaSpock is just hopping around from fleet to fleet. And taking things too? Not cool.

    DaSpock, you've been called out.

    thanks for the information, perhaps I should've searched for a similar topic. But it would suck if more people go plagued by this guy.

    Name and shame is against the forum policies. You might want to edit the name out, and say if anyone really wants to know to contact you privately.

    Don't get me wrong. I wasn't complaining that you posted a duplicate topic. I was just letting you know that he's known for it and warning you about the other one.

    I just remembered another name... (edited)

    Douchebag doesn't even have any remorse over it. It's really unfortunate that mom hasn't cut off his Net access yet:

    Whoops. I wasn't aware of that.

    However, until they fix the bank permission bug, I think people should know.

    Exactly my point. So really that rule does not make sense to me.

    Fleet leaders who are interested in who the person is can just send him a PM and he can tell them the name in private.

    Sounds like a great way to get more people scammed while people wait for PMs to circulate.

    How do we know this isn't some guy your fleet no longer likes? He fell from graces?

    And now you are harrassing/abusing him on the forums?

    That makes you look like the bad guy if people find out you were lying to them.

    Either way, if you don't like the game, the fanbois say to find one to your suiting.

    Alright, so IF cryptic decided to read this and decided to remove/lock it due to the naming username violation then AT least remove his name then, because this is also to warn fleets about the permissions for the fleet bank being extremely twitchy.

    A simple search will turn up three more threads referencing the same sad sack, with many relaying their own, similar experiences. You'll also fInd him responding to those threads stating that it's their fault for letting him into their fleet. I'd call this one pretty well corroborated.

    The rule is there to prevent innocents who did nothing wrong from getting griefed by jerks they had a falling out with. It happens all the time in MMO's. Somebody gets in an argument with a member of their Fleet/Guild/SG and the next thing you know one group is trash talking and making things up in an effort to "punish" the other party.

    Other players seeing this figure when more than one person is saying the same thing that there must be some truth to the stories and blacklist the innocent victim just to be safe.

    Please give a link. That way folks can see his @name. Unless its @Daspock which Im not sure it is.

    You can escape a name, but you cant escape your @name without some trouble (such as buying another account).

    Yeah ok that does make sense, but still if we're 20 people pretty much giving the same story then there has to be some truth to it :P I just wanted to warn as many as possible about this guy, would suck if more fleets got screwed :/

    but if this guy is using a bug to access fleet banks then this is an exploit and cryptic is dropping the ball by not punishing this guy.

    I mean they do keep logs right?

    This douche needs to be taken out back and taught some respect. This is what? The fourth or fifth fleet he's ripped off already?

    Until someone official takes care of this idiot, I for one think getting his name out there is necessary.

    Cross-posting is against the forum guidelines, but doing a search for 'dakirk' will pull it up presently (...and I quoted him, with his @name, a couple posts back).

    I want to see these guys get banned as much as everyone else, it's just real easy for a group to spread misinformation about someone. Personally, I choose not to believe anything unless screenshots or chatlogs are provided.

    Now the person/persons using the "Da" prefix in his/their names foolishly admitted to doing what he/they have been accused of in those other threads. Someone also provided a screenshot of the "theft" showing that the party being accused did indeed make the huge withdrawal.
