Named: Count De Monet [Slacker]. Steam collector has him listed at level 426 and number 8 overall. I chose him randomly to review his profile. It didn't take long (it never does) to find evidence of hacking.

There were a few things, so bear with me:

1. He has level 5759 holiday badge from the Xmas 2014 event. As we all know, it takes 15 seconds for each level of each badge to be created. Doing some simple math, that's 74,867 seconds of doing NOTHING but watching swirling cards. That's 1247 minutes, 21 hours... 21 HOURS of doing nothing. But sitting at the computer watching cards swirl around. Not to mention the fact that in order to create a level 5759 badge, he would have had to have bought 57,590 cards... at $.10 (low estimate) that would be $5,759 dollars. That's assuming he waited until the cards hit $.10 which would have given him only 7 days to make 5,759 levels worth of badges, lol. Not to mention purchasing that many cards. Of course, like most people featured here, he doesn't have his market transactions listed on his profile... odd..

But.. let's take all the guesswork right out of it and take a look at his badges.

2. If you look at December 16th at 6:21PM you'll see that he has 16. SIXTEEN level 5 badges all created at the same time. That's 80 separate badges all created at the same time. Seems odd....

3. If you look at his inventory he has exactly 15 of the first five sets of badges and way more than he would need for other badges including 15 of lots of other sets of badges... always 15. You wouldn't have 15 things from creating ONE level 5 badge for that game. So.. how would you have exactly 15 for everything..... Another odd thing.

Someone told me the other day that there are scripts to buy cards and create badges, etc. That's all well and good, but it doesn't explain how a SCRIPT (AKA a smart macro) would be able to skip all the animations without altering the client in some way.

Bottom line: This person is (gasp) probably abusing exploits. I know.. everyone is so surprised to see a level 426 that is abusing the system.

If everyone would go ahead and take a look and report whatever they find, we can help clean up Steam. I recommend you do so based on whatever YOU find. I'm just letting you know something isn't right.
