Why do EA Allow the Hacks?

They dont allow cheating or exploiting... They just cant run their forums because too large. Also, pm's are really quite hard to pin people on unless you report them.

This. Well said. I work in a video store which is pretty susceptible to theft, and I hate thieves. When I was a kid I was taught that you have to work bloody hard for the things you have, and this game is no different, it doesn't matter how much anything cost these days, expensive or not. Stealing is wrong.

I'm all for the stealing is wrong idea but I'd like to see the "other" people respond to this thread in defense of hacking. They are most likely partaking in the hacking as well. :) Let's hear what they got to say.

nobody will post pro cheating posts on the official forums...

Why does EA allow these items into accounts and not just delete hacked accounts or suspend them or something like that?

PM's here? That is something that can result in a ban. If you want to take screenshots of these PMs and send them to a moderator? We can see about the bans, especially if this person is spamming people with these hack offers.

Edit: PM us the screenshot along with the link to the user profile sending them.

The posts will be removed if they communicate how they are doing the hacking, it can also lead to banning. However, it's a massive leap to assume that just because somebody posts in support of cheating that they are themselves cheating.

it isnt that massive...

Well, if you read the Terms and Condition (who reads em, right?) they actually don't allow cheating of any manner. The reason why they "allow" this is because there are probably so many people playing the game and there might not be that many moderators to deal with that sort of cheating. If the mods manage to overlook these, you can just report the hackers with concrete evidence (e.g. message logs/screenies ). Honestly, I really don't think they'll stop even if they get reported and banned for countless of times. They'll just end up changing their IP address and make a new email account. Rinsing and repeating.

Cheating happens in every game. When you finally accept that you can move on. Just always know you are not one of them, so you are morally intact.

Just simply delete the PM's and ignore them.

If EA could stop hacks, they wouldn't be hacks. They'd be resolved bugs. ;)

I'm pretty sure the negative doughnuts is detectable, my friend had his account removed for doing that.
