That statement is false, some who got hacked had all their chars passworded.

This, basically.

Goretooth for example does not have any alts, and someone did a much more elaborate hack (likely involving that wonderful database just sitting out there). He did not "forget" to have a password for his main.

Either way, you have to admit that giving people a cookie for being either unlucky or dumb is a bad idea.

It will just turn into another system for someone to abuse, more shit for chadz to do, a longer delay before we get Strategus.  Give the people what they had back, fix the system and leave it at that.

So you don't believe in compensation for things like court cases, and only an exact 100% refund?

Either way, to each their own *shrugs*

Oh okay, let's go ahead and punish people who tried to be smart about their shit and got hacked and lost a lot of shit, that's totally fine because anyone who got hacked is by default dumb.

Still though, I'd like a name released.

Can't think of any known LLJK that would do this, and most of our more incredibly retarded special members, haven't done anything or had involvement in this, so a name we demand.

Are you serious.  Read my posts. 

GIVE THEM THEIR CHARACTERS AND ITEMS BACK

DO NOT GIVE THEM MORE THAN WHAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD - SOMEONE WILL ABUSE IT

[ManOfWar]

Release the names and counter hack the f@#k out of them?

How can someone abuse it if they have to be hacked by someone who has been caught?

I would personally love to see how the fuck they do it...only way to prevent is to know how they do it, right:)

Uh, yes dude.  Otherwise random cRPG scrub number #23972 is going to "get hacked" so he can "get paid".

Also, in civil suits the money doesn't come from thin air.  Typically, one of the two parties involved ends up paying.  So if anything, pull money from the account of the hacker and give it to the person who they screwed.  Which, of course, will get abused.

I don't even understand what you're trying to say.

Why would you create incentive for getting hacked.  It will lead to people wanting to get their shit hacked, so they can receive the incentive at no personal loss.

It's like idiots who jump in front of cars so they can sue the drivers, except in this case they don't wind up in the hospital or whatever.  They just get free stuff.

How can someone say they get hacked if the person hacking has been caught, and is no longer hacking. You can't abuse it if the people getting compensated are like the first 5 people getting hacked.

It's like people jumping in front of cars to get insurance, but the car is parked and doesn't have a driver.

Considering I'm still posting here, I'll take that bet.

e: I thought we were putting down our trolling of serious meta issues like this? Oh Ecko, such an example.
