Why do people use accounts that aren't theirs?

[HoudiniMan]

It's bad that people have their passwords comprimised... but what drives people to actually log on to somebody else's account?

I know greed is a huge factor, but honestly, these people create support tickets asking to be unbanned.

How can you violate somebody else's account and not expect to get kicked off the game?

why do we all exist

Remember, most of the players without a p2p and the need to use someone elses are mostly "kids".

It wasn't a rhetorical question.

Some think that by logging onto the accounts of others that they will get away with whatever they're trying to pull off, and if you're a sentient player in any way, their plans won't fall through.

All you have to do, really, is get someone to globally ban your account, and then change your password and make a support ticket. Takes a long time, but the process is easy enough.

Imagine: two people play gk and are good friends reallife.
Both of them give their password to each other, so that if the other has no time, he can take items of the account.

Whats the problem with that?

GraalOnline made P2P and enforces no account sharing for a reason. Keeping this game up isnt free, and things need to be paid for, and im sure Unixmad, and Stefan would like to keep making a profit.

The problem is that one player could give the other items that s/he needs before his/her gold time runs out, barring large exceptions, such as the other person's account being stolen, etc. But then we come back to the same issue.

Uh, where was this in question?

[Darklux]

Iam just meaning that I have friends I would trust enough to give them account and pwd. Sadly none of them plays graal, so I dont have to do it.

I would see no problem if they would take items from time to time, and if they would do crap I could still solve it with them reallife..

No clue why they do this. I do know it happens daily and some players are smart enough to get their hands on dozens on stolen accounts and use them as currency. Luckily they aren't smart enough to hide their IPs or computer IDs.

I don't think being able to hide your IP or computer ID is something that reflects intelligence, as I'm pretty sure there's no real way to do it, for the computer ID part at least.
