***NEWBIE ALERT***

I've heard a lot about these "anti-cheat patches" that Sega has supposedly done. As a precaution, I always check my inventory at the bank before quitting, online or offline. Last night I forgot, and the next time I played I went online. The strangest thing happened...NOTHING!

I had several "shark-created" items in my inventory, including a God/HP++ that gives a 2603 point bonus to hit points. I wasn't disconnected, I recieved no poorly translated warning, I played for over an hour without incident.

Maybe I just got lucky, I don't know. I do know one thing though, I'm not worried.

By the way; I may use "cheat" items, but I don't trade or give them away. I also don't use the afore-mentioned God/HP++ online, and only rarely offline. I also never get online with any active codes. The only reason why I cheat at all is because I got sick of playing through the V-Hard Ruins time and time again only to get Varistas and DB Sabres.

Well, at least you're not hurting others by cheating. I do condone it in about 90% of its forms, but I'm not going to hold it against you until it becomes a problem towards others...

Still nothing. I've been trying to sett off this "illegal item" warning and still havent seen it. I think it only detects a select few things, and I'm pretty sure I know what they are. I haven't "created" any of these items because I don't want them.

Oh well, I guess I'll just keep playing!

I had a varista curse once... over 20 in a row... As for duped items and stuff - i'm not going to use anything that sounds as dangerous as these ones...

Well i am a 100% legit player and some guy gave me a rare item that he could not use and when i logged out and tried to join i got that messege about delete the illegal item...ECT. I hope to god they are lenient about this because i dont want to lose my character just because i accpeted a free item

I know how you feel, I haven't got any items or anything that are hacked or anything cause for one i don't have a game shark or anything and two, i don't accept items that can be considered dodgy... not without trusting the person anyway - so far all i have is a delsabers buster (i got it on normal and can't use it yet, Lol, i just got onto hard mode today) and the soul eater (Black hound/kireek's weapon) and the frying pan... nothing major really...
