Hey i have a story.
In 2011 i started playing a somewhat now popular mmo called Elsword(2.5D beat 'em up), i made some friends and by 2012 i dediced to play the hispanic version of the game as i am from south america (mainly because NA servers decided to ip-ban everyone but later in 2013 they opened a latin america server(which they closed in late 2013)) by the time we were top 1-10 in the pvp ladderboard and that's when shit went wrong. Nobody likes you, people stalk you in social media and in game.
Later as life went on i started to study and learned cryptography and programming so i decided to run some tests to the game, only to discover that the game i played for years was just some code and not protected files. So we started abusing a lot of exploits to our benefits from modifing stats to even making our own spawners and get absolutely everything. server-sided stuff was only detected via logs that they would only check when you get reported.
In 2013 the North American company of the game decided to open a Latin American server of the game and letting us enter again to the NA servers. So we decided to do our stuff in the latin server. By that time a popular "hacking" forum found out the exploits of the game and public posted it making the game more protected every patch. So when everyone was exploiting the game we still had to make our own version of the game files so they acted different to the forum ones and didn't modify the server-sided things (like dmg). By that time we all knew how the forum hacks were made and recognized people using them so we decided to report them and they actually got banned. So we were making our own mod and reporting and succesfully banning people. Every succesfull report was taking us more closer to the GM's to the point of actually having them on skype and talk to them like you would to a friend. So every time we reported someone we PM them "Pasticho" and then they would get banned. We actually got to make lists of people to report them, From top ladderboard people to random people we saw hacking and to all we PM them "Pasticho". So as the "hackers" were growing so our reports. This continued for almost a year untill the Latin team of the North American company gave up on the server saying they did not get to the company goal as for people and money and everyone on the Latin server got transfered to NA server so we decided to move to the korean server of the game. Since we barely understand korean we stopped modding the game.
I thought i wont ever tell the story but since it happened much time ago i don't even care.
It was really fun
