Kiokujo ~Trevor Magic~ Meh... I'm reporting this. Just incase. It doesn't seem right to me, the way it handles event information. And I can think of at least 20 more links that would do similar things. It may be abusing the way gaia's server handles multiple events. In fact, from what I know, I'm pretty sure it is. Typically, event A would appear. Event B would not. If you missed Event A, Event B would appear. Using my link, if you missed both events, it would cause event A to reappear. These links allow both event A and B to coexist. Which is unfair. surprised LOL U GON GET BAND xp Sorry guys. Well someone already posted this in the GCD and i heard it was legal because you get the boxes that youve missed D: i think. Because everytime I use that old link it wouldnt give me zilch and ive lurk the forum alot and clicked the zurg and red bino banners that they were supposed to give you ratre event and they said it was legal o-o Actually, they weren't. That was a rumor. They were supposed to do something, but it wasn't nessicarily rares. Read the next few posts down. I explained that it wasn't an issue of granting events, but an issue of how it handled granting events. It's been passed on to the developers, already, anyways. Here was the pm I sent, which was fowarded to the admins: Quote: Sorry to bother you. But I've got a concern to express about an abuse of the rare event system, and you were the first online moderator I could find. A user has come up with a way to grant multiple events to users, by creating what appears to be a URL hack of the old event fix link. I'm worried that this may cause an unfair advantage to these users. The old event fix, which was deamed legal, used the following URL, I believe. http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=Note how the end of the URL is left open. This, I assume, means that it is requesting that event information be filled in by gaia's server. Granting events only if they were missed. However, the following user has modified this. This is the user who came up with the system. The links are in his profile. http://www.gaiaonline.com/profile/index.php?view=profile.ShowProfile&item=3493545He provided the following links to users: http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=1http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=2http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=3http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=4http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=5http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=6http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=7http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=8http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=9http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=10http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=11http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=12http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=13http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=14http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=15http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=16http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=17http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=18http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=19http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=20http://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=ahttp://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=bhttp://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=chttp://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=dhttp://www.gaiaonline.com/index.php?event=eThis may sound a little tech-ish, but here's how I believe it works. Let's say I should get a rare event, but missed it. We call this rare event A. When I miss it, usually rare even B appears within 24 hours. If I missed both, the original rare event fix link would grant me an event, rare event C, because I had missed a rare event. What this system does, unfortunately, if I have assumed correctly, is page the server with every possible bit of information. This causes, unfortunately, events A, B, and C to coexist. Notice how users that comment in his profile got 3 events, as opposed to users who used the legal fix only got one event. This is massively unfair, for users who use these links, as they get tripple the events. Additionally, users who used the link, in a guild I visit, also got tripple events: http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=1902818&page=5135Now I may be wrong about how the system works. However, it appears to exploit the system, gaining three events instead of one. I feel this is an important issue, and needs to be resolved.

Rydia-Beck I just saw an m&m's commercial that told me to go to mymm.com or something to write whatever I wanted on my m&m's.. Their first two examples were "You can write whatever you'd like...: like "I love Trevor" or "Trevor Forever"... eek ...trevor did you sell your soul to m&m's?? I really like chocolate...

Kiokujo D: But i found the link on the GCD =o It's not the where that matters. It's the how. If you were smoking weed, and said "I found legally bought it at Food Mart", it makes no difference. It's still weed. *really bad analogy*

I fail to understand why FG4PG still views mods as there enemies. >.> The mods I pmed seemed nice enough. But I'd never met her, so I can never tell. Terradi is who I usually pm, but she's been on leave from gaia for a while. Nopename is rather light hearted, as well, from what I can tell, and being a feedback mod, I'd of preffered to pm her. But she's the first one on the feedback list. So she gets alot of pms, and unless you catch her online, there's a high chance of slipping out of her inbox. >.< Anyways, I highly doubt that any of you will get into any trouble for it.

I doubt it too.. And I do really know you mean well.. You're trying to give them all the info you had about it.. Which means our bar banter. But "highly doubt" means you know there could be an even small chance of someone here getting in trouble.. *sigh* I guess what is done is done though.

Well then, there's a small chance of getting banned every time you accept a donation. Every time you post in a new forum. Every time you try something new. Every time you try to sell something that hasn't been done before. Every time you send a pm. Every time you strike an argument. But that shouldn't nessicarily stop you.
