You know that this is not true as both accounts in almost every case belong to the same owner.

I cannot know for sure anything but yes, as I said it is possible.

I highly doubt there's a server where this isn't an issue. And even if there is, legalizing such a dumb abuse doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. So, the only option is to quit. Glad I figured this out within the same day.

Well, in the servers of my country there are like no more than 12 players per server so there is no point for such players to ever start here. They will have no buyers. We are just a couple friends playing for the nostalgia. But yes, I do agree with your opinion. And it is sad because years ago moderators would actively check logs and find frauds/cheaters. These moderators would be from gameforge themselves but now they are focused on their other games and here they have "hired" regular people to be forum moderators to edit and lock your messages in case you try to expose someone. There are basically either servers with good amount of players (for the current state of gladiatus anyways) and with those sellers or servers like mine where you do not have almost any competition.

Hello,

You are right, it is not a visual bug. I guess you are talking about the player ****. I would assume that it is an alt character who is gathering other people's gold in order to keep it safe for the training event and later to level up guild buildings. You can get max N * 1000 gold per successful attack on a player, where N is your level so it's definetely a way smaller loss to keep it in a lower level character. Although they should have trained his stats more so he would be untouchable by lower level characters. Or at least they should have put some items.

[mod='Maeve']Please, if you think someone is cheating head over our support system to inform our supporters. Posting user names and accusing them of hacking is prohibited. [/mod]

So it's okay for people to push their alt characters nowadays? I'm glad I only spent 5 bucks on this. I'll see if I can get them back if that's true, but still, not much of a loss at least.

Edit: It's so sad what this game has turned into.. forum.gladiatus.gameforge.com/attachment/10265/

You can have alt accounts but they have to be linked and marked as multi accounts. When you go to the menu Profile (its on the top left) you can add in there your alt account's name and then you log with it, go to Profile and accept that it is your alt character. When you link them like that you cannot give items to yourself or gold neither through the shop , nor through the wahehouse. So it is not allowed to push them by yourself. However, other guild members are allowed to give gold to him. Or you can even sell the tools that you get on your alt account to your guild members'. Or even give them for free. Some players exchange them: you give with your alt character forging tools that you have farmed from the event to someone's main character and he gives with his alt character forging tools to your main character.
The only possible violation of the rules for this player would be if he is directly giving gold to this character to hide it which means that he did not mark his character as an alt account. And one might assume that he is using VPN so admins cannot easily detect him of doing it.

As for the guy selling gold and gold tools - yeah, it is very sad. Some people (even though they are very few) make a living out of doing this. The best thing I would suggest you is to start on a server where those players do not play which would probably be in a different country, but at least you can change the language of the interface and still play in there. Thankfully we do not have such sellers in our servers.

I tried to read about rules and conduct and such.... i feel like im getting bullied.

Same 2 people attack me daily from 1 to 5 times per day per person. And this has been continuing for weeks.

And for some reason when i try to write them about how i feel like im about to quit because they are slowing down my progression the message box just says that these people can't be found!? Is this only because they are from other servers than i am? I tried to also add their server number after their name but it didn't help. Is there really absolutely no way to communicate?

I know stealing gold limit is 5 times per target per day. But is that also what you are supposed to follow? Am i supposed to pick on easy target i steal money every day!?

And since im active player i almost always have some gold.... if i just stopped playing my bank would eventually go to 0. This is why it feels so punishing to play. Because my activity feeds them.

"Just become stronger". Huh.. with what money? They are stealing my gold so they are richer than me and thus will always be ahead of my progression. Even if i become bit stronger they will become even more stronger. They are out of my league now even if i use gods.

Am i only here to suffer? Do i only exist so stronger people can leech my hard work!?

Is there anything else i can do?

Can these people be reported for bullying/targetting?

Hi, Myllo!

First of all, I apologize for my bad English.
I would like to specify that its actually 5 timer per target per arena, so each one of them can leech from you up to 10 times per day (arena+turma).
It is not bullying, bullying would be if they are sending messages to you where they mock you. You cannot send messages to players from other servers unless you have a character in that server and you log with that character to message them (I think it was after lvl 5 or 6 that you can).
In which server are you playing ? Maybe you are not building your character properly in terms of stats prioritization, items, etc. If you have proper setup you could beat anyone in turma, unless its an alt character who is max stats and all pink+ items on all mercenaries. The first thing you did wrong (and you keep doing it) is not being part of a guild. Guild has many important features. The two most important ones are the training grounds (reduces the price of training by 2% per level) and medical center (if you are above level 100 you really need it because its one of the only two ways to heal your character while you are in the Underworld. The other way is to use a healing potion which drops from treasury chests).
If you want post a photo of your character and mercenaries (hide the nickname if you want). It would be easier for others to tell you how you can improve. I do not know how populated is your server but I can tell you from experience: I have a lvl 98 character and I have only 2 players (targets) in the provinciarum arena list. So I either have to say goodbye to quests and experience from arena, or I have to keep attacking them.
As for hiding your gold - there are a couple ways to do it.
1) Use rings/amulets/scrolls: you keep a couple of those in your inventory, you sell them when you have expeditions/dungeon points, you train, then when you gather gold you buy them back 1 by 1 until you can sell them all again to train and repeat. This way you should not have more than 1k gold in you at all times (I do not know your level so it might be even lower amount it really depends on the prices of the items you pick).
2) Use packages
- We (in our guild) use two ways to store (package) gold:
1) Individual packages - we ask in the guild for a package and someone sees the message and then makes a package for the specified amount;
2) Guild packages - we have amulets and rings lvl 1 at a different price (unique price per quality and type) which are on the guild market for 24h. For instance: A blue ra's eye amulet for 100 000 gold. If I want to hide 100 000 gold then I will buy this package. When I do it - my gold is hidden and then I put the same jewel back in the guild market for 24h (might be less if your guild is very active or depending on the guild member's preferences) and then when someone else decides to pack his 100 000 gold he buys my package and I get my gold back and he then puts the jewel back for 24h at the same price and waits for his gold. This way the gold is never lost (the tax goes automatically in the guild's bank) and you always get your gold back within 24h. Now, it really depends on whether your guild is active, of course.

As for the messages: If you open the messages you can see the first tab is Overview. Click there. Next, click on Administrate folders. Then you can add a new folder by just typing its name and clicking Create folder. Then go back to the Overview tab. Click on Settings. There you can select what kind of messages to go into that folder. Below is an example of my folders' distribution:



The second way is more teamwork orientated and unless you are using the pact for 5% bonus gold when selling items then there is no reason not to chose it. It is important to stack gold for training events such as the upcoming one on the 30th of August (25% reduced costs for training). As for the trust - it goes both ways so if you do not trust others then how can they trust you? Guild leaders, of course, cannot take anything from you. Unless you voluntarily donate gold or put items in the Warehouse (which is used to give each other items/resources/scrolls/etc). And also, there is no reason for someone to risk his guild's reputation in order to take advantage of your gold. After all, a guild is as good as its members.
Best of luck with your adventures!

P.S. I would recommend using the extension gladiatus crazy add on if you do not. It offers a lot of useful settings which make your game experience less painful (such as viewing the auction's remaining time on top of your screen). Another cool option is to color the name of your prefered targets on the arenas so that you can recognize them faster. The people who are attacking you might have done this and thus they attack you as soon as they see your name (or rather the color of your name). But I would assume you do not have that many characters around your level in the country where you play otherwise you would not come up on their attacking lists this often.
