It's awful this is happening, but I really don't think we should now feel bad for being honest or punish Playfish for this. After all, they are the ones working hard to make this game possible and the ones most affected. I'm sure they are doing all they can to stop it, but let's be realistic, there are more hackers out there than Playfish can afford employees. I think we can all help a bit. Here's my tentative advice: Forbid cash items to be traded or gifted in the forums. Learn that unconditional generousity is not a virtue. In my experience, and of course with some exceptions, if people are being super nice and giving you a lot for nothing, they are most likely building a reputation of "angels" to be able to sell hacked items later. Then even if people notice they are hackers, they feel too guilty to report, because they got a lot from them! Hackers are not only experts at code, they are experts at human psychology. Also, don't complain when an item you want is cash only and don't call Playfish greedy or Payfish and etc. It's their work, they don't have to give you anything just because you'd like to have it. This attitude gives moral sanction to thieves and it gives them a reason to exist. They see themselves as Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor (which is really stealing from hardworking game makers to give to players which are too lazy or impatient.) Just my opinion on the matter, please don't take it wrong. I'm sorry this is happening and I hope the problem is sorted soon.
