Sending Resources

If this has been suggested before sorry for repeating it,
Recently a member from my alliance got his account hacked, they took all the UU they could, and cleared out the Vault etc, they are waiting for a reply from admin on this, but this lead me to an idea.
Ive seen alot that people say they have been hacked etc, and lose alot of resources, soooo
How about putting an option on the command center to show who you have sent resources to ingame, ( that records NON black market trades ) they could be auto deleted every month or week, this way, if someone did get into your account and send off resources, they have no way of hiding the logs and when you logged back in you could see who they where sent too, and know who to report or at least to start looking at for this.

I agree 100% with this idea.
It would also help for other reasons aswell, like say if someone sent you 8000 at's and you start giving them back over a period of several days, this way you know exactly how many you have sent already.

or maybe you need a pass to send resources to other players

eh? sorry, but in most cases the "hacking" is just a simple violation of the game rules (like giving your pass away, makign it public). so if you really get hacked and not cheated by phising mails, bad friends , public pcs or whatever the admin will most probably replace your stuff anyway, and he got the logs you are asking for and will ban or punish the ppl that received the stuff. so why do you need an extra list of all the trades you have done? and sending ressources by entering the password? c'mon, ppl already cry about the needed login or banking codes, entering your password for every lil trade...
so, to sum that up:
admin got the info and will use it in a resonable way
if you are being hacked, you will be compensated, if you are just stupid enough to give away your login datas its your own fault and your loss.
Finding out where the resources beens ent to wont help you anyway. if i would hack someones account i would be smart enough to send the stuff to a third person or an abdoned account that i raid and farm. and here your list helps nothing. you woudl need admins help anyway
entering a code or password for every trade is jsut a waste of time (in the end if you can log into the account ya pbbly got the passwort anyway)
so in my opinion not a "best idea ever" at all -sorry guys!

I have to agree with Ston, if I was an hacker, I wouldn't send ressource to my principal account. I would pass via a two or three account then attack and
get the ressource I want.

Great minds think alike.
Its not the best solution in the world... because of the reasons that Ston mentions... but it would be nice for... dumb hackers. I would also confirm for someone that their account was hacked, and it was not just some hichup in the database.
Also... what does it hurt? Not a damn thing.

I agree.
Look at all the multis in this game that are found everyday. And those are just the dumb ones, with obvious names, army to UP ratios, close ids, ect, the good ones probably never get caught.
I imagine the same effects would be in this scenario.
To catch a few of these people would be wonderful, but to even know for sure that you were infact hacked would be good aswell.

What not? theres absolutely nothing wrong with this idea, theres no way it can interfere with the playing, or game experiance, unless you are a hacker.
Somthing to the same level as the Private Trade Broker would Suffice.
Good thinking "D
