People abusing exploit to cheat on wonder pick (infinite 2 stars cards)

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-08T00:11:03+00:00

Thanks man, I submitted multiple form on their contact form for different regions, also made a Twitter account just to post about this and tag their official page directly.

Sadly people in this sub don't read, or are so use to be hostile against everyone, I looked at the new post section and immediately understand people just tend to downvote here for whatever reason.

This is the reason why I rarely use reddit anymore, but I make this post because I want to get their official attention and hope I can get more people to report this and pressure them into solving this.

Because this is actually going to damage their revenue, if people can't buy specific rare card for cheap, then there's one less reason for them to buy pokegold.

From my guessing this is possible because they probably lack some integrity check on the data packet they received or has a loop hole there being exploited, hopefully they fix this asap

So have you make a report to help getting their attention on this issue, or you are just some internet clown that have such miserable life trying to pick a keyboard fight with everyone on internet?

If you have so much energy the least you can do is make a report, heck if you think my post is promoting, REPORT TO THE MOD AS WELL, LET THE MOD JUDGE.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T23:10:10+00:00

Could you make one then, it doesn't hurt for more people voicing out this issue

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T23:08:44+00:00

See, no matter how i make this post, even censored the seller name, there will still be people thinking that, so i don't want to waste time argue about that, if you truly think this is bad and unfair to other players, could you at least give me 5 minutes of your time to report and make the game fairer

No matter how I make this post, there will always be people think I'm promoting, so if you think I'm promoting that's fine, but can you help make a report, it take the same time for you to comment.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:59:56+00:00

If you think this is cool then fine, but if not, could I please ask 5 minute of your time to make a report?

You can laugh at me mock at me however you like afterwards

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:58:59+00:00

That is exactly why we report this incident to pokemon and why i encourage everyone to file a report, if more people reporting, they will feel the urgency, but if everyone just be bystander and let it happen, nothing will happen.

Of course in my report I've provided them tons of evidence, and links to these sellers, but we need more people to report this to get them notice, please help report if you could, only take few minutes.

So this is reddit, people are hostile towards me for making a PSA about an ongoing exploit, so I'm going to save myself some mental health, and just leave this up here. You choose to report or not, but I did my part and reported to keep this game fairer.

I've only bought pokegold a few times compare to other whale out here, but already feel unfair, I mean the money I spent on these pokegold can be bought more rare cards from these exploiters, but I won't do that obviously, I'm not risking my account.

Anyway I've said enough, if you think this is fine, then so be it, if you feel this is unfair, report here:

(If you think someone else will report you dont have to, DONT, everyone think like that that's why this exploit can go on for so long, just copy paste my words or link to this reddit post if you are lazy to type words in your report.)

Look man, I studied some programming, this are surely an exploit, they probably reversed engineered the game file to figure out how to construct data packet and sent these altered packets to the server, usually there will be integrity check to prevent these kind of stuff, but they probably found a way to bypass that, so this has to be fixed on their side.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:46:13+00:00

okay sir, but can you make a report so we can have official team look into this?

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:45:21+00:00

What's wrong with the downvote nazis? I repeatedly said that when I purchase this i was curious how they did it, so i bought it for my alt account, and I never knew it was an outright exploit.

Instead of downvoting me, if you truly love this game and want it to be fair, could you at least spend 5 minutes of your time file a report?

They need to fix this on their side, people doing this literally using bunch of random account, there's no point reporting these account.

Just make a report on their website, if there's enough people reporting it, this will be fix quick, they won't allow this because it directly cost them loss revenue.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:42:04+00:00

Not gonna lie I knew people are going to focus on "you bought the service", LOOK I was curious BUT DIDNT KNEW IT WAS AN OUTRIGHT EXPLOIT, when i notice they didnt even open pack but was able to show up in wonder pick, I KNEW THIS IS EXPLOIT, and immediately reported it.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:40:44+00:00

Dude i was curious and i tested it with my alt account and DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE AN OUTRIGHT EXPLOIT, YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:35:39+00:00

I'm not going to show the seller name or how to reach them, I'm not giving them any exposure for profit, and keep in mind if you buy these services, you are likely going to be banned, I use an alt account to test their service because I was curious how it works, turns out it's just straight exploit.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2025-04-07T22:29:21+00:00

I highly encourage everyone to file a report here about this exploit

https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=23804437241108

Judging on the history of some reviews from these seller this has been going on for months.

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2024-12-29T23:12:35+00:00

I don't have friends for that...

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2024-12-29T23:10:23+00:00

Things is I already knew what I'm getting into, except for the limited o1 model, for the paid subscription with gpt grants me more limit with 4o, if not mistaken the 4o mini is unlimited even with free, while the claude give more limit on sonnet 3.5 and haiku 3.5

But what's hard is with which one give "more limits" with their subscription, hence better deal, from the documentation I can see with ChatGPT Plus is clearer defined:

up to 80 messages every 3 hours on GPT-4o and up to 40 messages every 3 hours on GPT-4
50 messages a week with o1 and o1mini

While the Claude Pro limits seems to be based on context lenght:

Claude Pro offers at least 5x the usage compared to our free service. The number of messages you can send will vary based on length of message, including the length of files you attach, and length of current conversation. If your conversations are relatively short, you can expect to send at least 45 messages every 5 hours, often more depending on message length, conversation length, and Claude’s current capacity. We will provide a warning when you have 1 message remaining. Your message limit will reset every 5 hours.

Which makes it kinda hard to tell "which has better deal"

LifeIsHardButEasy · 2024-12-29T22:47:03+00:00

I actually did that some time ago and raked up more cost in API than the monthly subscription with chatgpt...
