Therefore, using third-party software such as cheats, hacks, mods, scripts, and even GFX tools to modify and manipulate the game falls in this category. Once the users are caught, they will be punished appropriately and will lead to account suspension.

The support section states the following:

"If the rule violation occurred after your account has been hacked and thus affecting the game or the other players' rights, the penalty will be applied to your account regardless of who has been using it. We strongly suggest you do not share your account with other players to avoid the risk of being banned.”

This implies that if evidence of cheating is found in the account, it will be banned irrespective of the person operating the account at the time of the offense. Players are recommended not to share their accounts or their details with others. Furthermore, the rules of conduct add that using another user’s account can also lead to a permanent ban.
