Hello,
Few of you might actually have noticed the amount of new National Pros in the game lately. Unlike most people think this is actually not a hack and should not be confused with the rank hack (which will change your level but only CLIENTSIDE). This glitch appears to be an actual glitch that happens to low level players randomly.
It seems that there is a glitch between Senior and Amateur which can cause your experience to overflow and have you level up straight to National Pro E or D (usually with around 6000 exp remaining too!). This glitch might or might not be caused only in tournaments.
So far we have been able to keep track of 10 people glitching to National Pro since September 21st. All of these 10 players have recently leveled up to National Pro in just a few days of total playtime. Most of these have been Senior at most in Season 3, some did not even have their accounts created before Season 4. Obviously it is impossible to actually level up to National Pro in a timeframe this short.
A few of the glitchers actually had reported their issues here on the forum, but the topics died down quick.
Until now all of the glitched National Pros remain ingame - still playing with their new shiny rank. While I am not hoping for these people to be banned (because its obviously not their fault), I am still hoping to see this investigated SOON and have their levels reverted.
While this glitch might not seem major to some people it is actually having a pretty big influence on the game. As someone who actually leveled up to National Pro in a time frame of about four years, this is already starting to annoy me a bit.
I believe the whole mess started with the problems during the double experience event on the 18th September. This is probably where you should start investigating. Since we are not allowed to reveal names here, I will send a list of the glitched National Pros I have been able to keep track of to the 1:1 support.
This continues to go on and new National Pros are spawned almost on a daily basis. This has to stop or there will soon be no point in actually bothering to level up anymore.
Thanks!

But still, the GM is yet to get this thing fixed out (I believe they do noticed it). Unless there's an emergency maintenance, they won't be able to fix it until the regular maintenance comes... >.<

I have seen 4-5 National Pros who poped out of nowhere. And like 99% of all players I think/thought its a hack. I already reported 2 of them for lvl hacking. With our current situation of hackers, its hard to believe its just a glitch.

They say make for patch. but i hope before to all pangya player call to notice for "EXP BUG some pople.they dont hack or cheating' samthing like that . almost 99% people call me a hacker or rank cheating . >< feel like so bad.... i didnt to anything........I wanna to just enjoy a play pangya. im over5years play pangya, i love it, i dont want lie and cheat this game. its my policy. i hope frister to fix it, thank you for read by nokko
I noticed that too Whoopsy. Way more nationals then a few weeks ago. But think about it ...... the servs are still lagging and the hackers.....well let's not get into that. My point is I think it's gonna take a while before someone does anything about any of these problems sooo....better expect a few more nationals.
Sorry Tomato i made a mix up. I don't know why i wrote Whoopsy instead of your name. Really really sorry
and2one:I noticed that too Whoopsy. Way more nationals then a few weeks ago.
EDIT: @Tomato: Fix'd. Well, I dunno if he is a guy since I only notice about his gender icon anyway. Perhaps you're thinking I'm dreaming that I want to be with Whoopsy? In fact, I'm not, I'm only happen to know that he has the highest rank around.
EDIT again: Bah humbug, I miscalled his gender icon as female, while actually has a male gander icon... =.=
Sorry to ruin your wildest dreams, but Whoopsy is actually a guy, not a girl.
I saw one of these faux-pros the other day. S/he was announcing it in the lobby, and making sure that everyone knew that it was a bug. There was a GM on at the time, and even they confirmed it (at the "pro's" request).
This has to be one of (if not THE) worst bugs in the game at this time. I could easily see hackers taking advantage of the situation. I'd suggest keeping a close eye on them, just to make sure none of them are hackers.
I just hope this doesn't happen to me. I've worked hard to get to where I am legitly.
Same to me, I just recently hitting Senior E. I think I should stop playing for a while until this bug is completely fixed.
I frequently checked out my info to ensure that I don't get the bug. I think it is suggested for everyone to screenshot your current Rank and XP before you get the bug so that the GM might wanna reset it to a correct rank.

Well, I think the bug happen to affect player who is around Senior to Amateur ranked, as the OP DrKapok (Tomato) said.
Pang!... so much for my temporary 'promotion'
National Pro is no longer an accomplishment?
Well I'm 5k from world, maybe I should play more?
World Pro!? I only been to 2 countries though
I no longer play any luck systems, I gave up
zig082: National Pro is no longer an accomplishment? Well I'm 5k from world, maybe I should play more?
Of course it is still an accomplishment, Z. Though not much of one if just anybody can get that rank through a bug. Hopefully this will be addressed, because people that get up to the ranks they are (Whoopsy, heh heh) work their butts off, 18holer after 18holer, all for that one extra control point at each level.
Yeah i'm with you on this one. My account is currently one of these bugged ones and I reported it over a week ago. I want to work for my level and enjoy playing against friends and earning my exp. I hope that when they finally fix my account i'm set back to my Amateur rank. Being National in nice but looses enjoyment for me knowing i got cause a stupid bug.
