After looking very closely at bestgamefaq's web site I have come to the following conclusions.
He is pretending to know more then he does in order to sell his book. Most of the information on his site is basic common sense. I will grant that some people never think about some things in the game unless it is brought to their attention. SO reading what he has on hi site may actually get some people to think about something they may not have. I will also grant that some people are lazy and want everything spoon fed to them so the information he presents would also be beneficial to those people. However I found some information on his website and forum to be absolutely incorrect. It is either a straight out lie or he does not understand the game. I believe it is more of the latter. Because well some information is completely wrong, things like his rune guide illustrate that he does not understand what a resistance rune actually does.
This whole chest nonsense shows that 1 of 3 scenarios is true:
1. He thinks he knows something and is wrong
2. He is pretending to know something and is presenting information in a certain way to help sell his book
3. He actually knows how to hack the game and is an out right cheat. - and while I don't know how to do it and do not know anyone who can- I am sure someone is smart enough to do it - because nothing is unhackable
I believe it is a combination of the 1st 2 scenarios. While I hold no malicious towards him for trying to sell his book, i think all we are doing on the forum is helping him sell it. And since I also belive most of teh information in his book is either
A. free for anyone to find on this forum
B. basic common sense
or
C. Wrong or misleading information
I see no sense in trying to help him sell the book.
If however I thought the book was a valuable strategy guide that would help players - I would be all for helping him promote it. But if his website and forum are evidence of his knowledge, I highly doubt the book is useful for most players.
