Considering there alot of scamming on the internet and in MMO, it's no surprised that Air Rivals has been targeted to alert staff to issue this message to players.
What makes this post interesting is this text.
'It is against the game rules to sell / trade / buy accounts at all. This includes but is not limited to doing so in exchange for SPI, in game items, out of game items, real world cash, sexual favors, etc. etc.'
Sexual favors?
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure security is an issue online, I'm sure people get hacked or scammed, but for sexual favors?
These players are mostly males in their teens too, are they THAT desperate to give someone an account?
I don't deny scammers do offer sexual favors to get accounts or money, but stuff like that is usually kept confidential or expressed a bit different.
ie: Victim scammed by a Nigerian scammer posing as a 19 year old female.
From this, it's suggests that the mods don't really like the community they're modding and they'll take advantage of it to humiliate an entire MMO community with this issue.
I don't play AirRivals (or ACE Online), however I sometimes visit the community forum, because of how chaotic and unprofessional the staff and mods are and this is just another case of it.
and I would say that it's a first that I've seen an MMO community get scammed because they thought they were getting sexual favours.
I have to also add that NA ACE Online had an hacking issue a few months ago, where a thread got post and ACE Online GMs removed the thread because they didn't want to promote hacks in a community, that what being PROFESSIONAL is about!
Professional for an MMO community? Do decide?
