LOL @ Chinese power levelers.

If anybody is stupid enough to give somebody in China (or anybody for that matter) their PSN login details and pay them, I will laugh very hard when they cry to Sony and CCP about their PSN account being hijacked and/or CC charged $400 in PS store purchases.

I agree no cap is a very bad idea, but paying people to level your character and bots? This isn't the PC world of gaming, that kind of thing is almost completely unheard of on console games. The worst I have seen is a group of friends sharing one character and each playing a specific time slot so they can essentially play 24/7.

How many other MMO's on the ps3? This one.

Also there are aim bots and other things already downloadable for ps3 online games.

DCUO would like a word with you.

And yes, there are power-levellers and account hackers selling high-level DCUO characters illegally. For the most part, though, they're creating and power-levelling characters on their own account then selling it, or hijacking the accounts of people who already have high-level characters.

Any option for doing this fills three important criteria that will limit its use:

1. Doesn't give significant advantage.
2. Doesn't help with the practical experience that makes a high-tier character worth paying attention to.
3. Violates both PSN and CCP terms of use and can get your accounts banned.

is this the second ps3 mmo?

or is the first being the one that is done with beta and released?

Its unheard of because there was never any reason to do it. Now there is. That is the point of the whole dam thread chief. How many other MMO's on the ps3? This one.

Also you can just change or /remove or limit credit card purchases from the PSN network to your credit card or cancel your credit card, thus he cant charge your PSN account anything, you can also change allot of your personal information or make a psn/dust account specifically for a power leveler to level. Also you can send him a Copy/Clone of your PS3 harddrive so he would require 0 login information but would be unable to change passwords and do other things. You could either physically send the cloned hard drive or just send a ISO.

Check the text on that video. Particularly where they mention that they're showing ALPHA footage. And the date, being last month, because it's still in ALPHA testing, not even ready for beta.

DUST isn't (yet) the second PS3 MMO, because it's still in beta as well. It's possible FF will see a "proper" release first at this point. But the point stands that DUST is most definitely not the only MMO available on the PS3.

EDIT: You could arguably count FreeRealms as well... but I don't.

The video is old, they put new ones out every week. here is something if you are intrested, i know I am anxious,and hope to be selected, due to it all ready starting for people that meet the early requirements,but this is everybodies chance.

this is the North American link

"Let players buy SP strait from CCP. They can cut out the Chinese farmers middleman from the game before it starts and bots wont be worthwhile making and developing in the first place. Sure its not great that players can just buy SP, but think about it,.... they can do that anyway right? They just hire a chump to grind for them and play when they want. So its always going to be pay to win."

This would be good under one condition...SKILLED MATCHMAKING.... this would truly make the game pay to win, by allowing people to just buy SP. Right now you buy passive booster, which is an advatage over others that may not be able to afford them.


If there is no sp cap, or if you are allowed to buy sp, skilled matchmaking has to be put into effect for PUB matches.

I agree we need a proper match making system for players who are good or have large Sp are separated from the Bad players or who have low sp or some sort of combination of both so you can bracket players.

Only reasonable thing I could see happening is somebody paying somebody else to level up some random PSN account and character in Dust. Or perhaps somebody selling their own random PSN account that has been leveled. I'll give you that.

But I just can't see it happening with any sort of regularity that would warrant serious concern. PC gaming mentality =/= Console gaming mentality. I could be horribly wrong, but I really don't see it being a major issue.

Firstly, not sure what your point is. My point was that DUST 514 isn't alone as a PS3 MMO, and I provided an example of one that's already released.

And second, my mistake, haven't been following the game closely. It went into beta this month. Still, DUST is ahead in a sense because it's already had a year of beta.

As I already said though, it doesn't matter which comes out first, DCUO is still out and the fact that there's another PS3 MMO in development as well as DUST only supports the argument I'm making.
