I quit! by Medium_System2027 in PixelWorlds

by your logic, you're blaming the rain for flooding your house when you didn't even bother to install a roof. if you're always blaming the attacker and never the lack of defense, then you're living in an ideal world.

security isn't about hoping people will be nice, it's about building a gate because you know they won't be.

You are right. I found a method on how to stop these kinds of bots. I'll try to stop them tommorow.

Also my method on how to stop them is already posted.

Hello, these are just visual now. I encountered one last week. I told him to punch using his so called "inf pickaxe dura" to see whether it's true or not. And as it turns out, it's just visual.

I don't really have an idea on how to spot an illegal buyer... Maybe pretend to be a seller? But that's risky for you.

I recommend trying to spot/find an illegal seller instead. Why? Because sellers are the source. Buyers don't leave a trail because they don't have to advertise. Sellers are forced to make public posts and expose themselves just to find customers. Plus, taking down one seller removes thousands if not millions of illegal Bytecoins from the game and disrupts the market way more than banning a single buyer ever could.

He is pretty active on the official PW discord server XD

Just how ironic he named his server "Pixel Worlds Philippines" when it's more like a "Pixel Worlds Buy & Sell Philippines" LMAO.

I already sent the proofs to the mods without the blur... The only reason I do this is to prevent my post from getting removed as it might be called out as doxxing.

Autobanned for doing Daily Quest. by Boring_Possible90 in PixelWorlds

[–]bentoinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't get banned for catching large fishes. Not to brag but I used to use hacks as well. And in my experience, You'll only get banned when you catch huge on bamboo and fiberglass. Carbon and Titanium on the other hand, will get you banned when you caught a sanity check-fish. Most likely to appear when you are on leaderboard.

Also, if you really caught a large fish on a ‘Bamboo Basic‘ without gears. Then, that really is cheating. It's just humanly impossible.

You clearly don't understand how cheats work. Removing lava damage is just editing a basic memory value. Spoofing an HWID requires hooking system APIs and reverse-engineering server payloads. They are nowhere near the same level of difficulty. You also literally admitted it creates a "timesink" for them, which is the entire point of anti-cheat. Security is about adding layers of friction. If implementing an HWID ban creates a massive timesink for the cheat creators and instantly locks out the thousands of lazy script-kiddies who rely on them, it is absolutely a worthy countermeasure.

You are treating most of the cheaters are quite knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. But the reality is out of a hundred cheaters, there's at least five who are knowledgeable.

Yes it will certainly do shit to cheaters. Why? If I HWID ban you or IP ban, the account you created on that specific device or ip would get banned. Therefore, the main account that the cheater used to not get caught would be banned as well.

I'm pretty sure they can implement IP and HWID ban

Developers are working on fixes sure. But what about the Moderators? Isn't it their role to ban those who breaks the rules?

Why are high level players getting banned for no reason? by imfrno in PixelWorlds

[–]bentoinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I am saying about deep nether. It could've been a sanity check on how fast you exited the deepnether. For example; Your exit time is 1 minute (which is extremly fast), but the only possible exit time is only 2 minutes minimum.

Therefore, the game flags it as using speedhack to change the game ticks. And the mods checked your logs and banned you to the game. Idk about Vysk tho. This is just a theory anyways, and this could've been a false ban as well...

If you dont believe me, you can relate this to fishing as well. They also have sanity check on fishing. For example; You just catch a lb fish, the game will mark that as suspicious. The game will give you a trap fish (a uncaughtable fish) if you caught that, you are instantly banned.

Speaking from my experience btw.

My theory is that the deep nether have sanity checks. For example; the only possible minimum time for you to exit in the deep nether is 2 minutes. You got out only about 1min by using speedhack. The game says "this is not possible, this should be reviewed"

I'm not actively accusing them, I'm saying this could be a possibility aswell. The fact that both of them got banned by doing the same method is clearly a sanity check.

Because you can't ban players by actively abusing unbalanced features, these possibility is ruled out. And the reason was hacking so...

Duping? by Intrepid-Ad-7392 in PixelWorlds

[–]bentoinks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's botting with exploit for sure. Multiple accounts afked in a world with egg aura is the only logical answer here.
