Hey everyone...so this post may not be for everyone...so please take it from the outside looking in at the bigger picture.
So I have slowly watched this community change over the last 6~ months or so...and I've notice some major changes taking place around the beginning of the year.
Most of these changes (at first) seemed pretty legit and I had sympathy for the players who were affected by bugs and such.
But now I'm starting to question some of these claims players are making regarding "being hacked", "not obtaining 'gifts' from Epic", "claims of lost items" etc..
Are players really experiencing these issues...or are they exploiting the system.
From my perspective at least, I feel that "If" a player was hacked...why would the hacker purchase V-Bucks?
What benefit would that be to the hacker? To me...it feels as if players purchased V-bucks and then used them to purchase llamas...got bad loot and simply wish to pull the "I got hacked" card to request a refund...aka: Buyers' Remorse.
Now I 100% could see a purchase made to upgrade an account's version of the game a potential target for hackers so that they could attempt to sell the free copies of the game under their name. (Hopefully I don't give any ideas to these "Hackers") But even then, the time it would take to sell / put it on a "Dummy" account would (should) give the original owner plenty of time to catch it.
The other issue is players claiming they were affected by a bug in order to obtain freebies handed out by Epic.
For every one of those players, there is a player like me who honestly was not effected by the bug as was still reimbursed/gifted free goodies.
And on top of that, there is another player for everyone of "me" that did not get compensated for their loss.
How does/can Epic tell the difference between the liars and the honest victims.
Truth is...it is VERY hard. And what is worst is that players like me are feeling like this is actually happening...
But yeah...thanks for reading....just wanted to throw this out there and see who catches it.
This may be the reasoning behind the back log of refunds / hacking etc...
Happy-Husk-Hunting!
Edit: Question...has anyone on console been 'Hacked'?
