I understand that, but if a hacker honestly is hacking with hacks that only effect his GAME play and not mine? I'm fine with that.. it doesn't effect me, it isn't in my realm of concern. If there's a chance it effects my gameplay I'll prolly get pissed too because there's a chance it will. But honestly, if it doesn't effect me or have a chance of effecting me, I won't have a problem with it. Most people are saying "ok, if you hack a single player game that's fine" why? Because it only effects them and their gameplay.. if they hack online and it only effects their gameplay and only effects them, why get all bitchy about it? True, there are hackers that hack and it effects another's gameplay online, those hackers are annoying, I don't like them. Supplying hacks to others, I have a problem with that too, I lost respect for chasym hearing that (and loled at the idiots that couldn't find the hacks themselves)
Sure, they run faster and gives them an advantage in their gameplay over a normal player.. but if a hacker hacks a single player game than they are going to have an advantage in that game over someone who plays it normally.. I just don't see why bitch about a hacker if they don't effect you or your gameplay. Do you NEED to keep comparing yourself to others? do you need to make this game of enjoyment out to be a competition in everything? ZOMG HE GOT TO 75 BEFORE ME, COMPLETED QUESTS AND MISSIONS BEFORE ME! who cares? Honestly.. if it doesn't effect you, why care? That's my point. For the hackers that voke bot, that's gay, it is effecting your gameplay because it's decreasing your chances of getting the monster.. same with if they flee hack a monster like fafnir or tiamat or whatever for some stupid reason...cause that increases their chances of winning which means it decreases your chances of getting claim if they die. That's not fair (now if they flee hacked only Gods let's say, I wouldn't have a problem with that assuming they got all the pop items fairly and they weren't in my LS decreasing the challenge for me which I find fun. Their LS wants to hack with Gods? fine, whatever, as long as they don't hack to steal another's god I don't care. All endgame players agree that if a LS is going to wipe to a God that it's their God and it should depop anyways not taken by another LS unless the first LS that wiped gave permission to the other LS. Same with if a LS hacked in a BCNM and I'm not there. I might find it funny, but I won't really have a problem with it. It's their BCNM, they got the seals for it, their mob their claim, theirs to win or lose to and either way, it's not going to be anyone elses after.)
I just think too many people bitch about hackers in general and if they are going to bitch about a hacker who doesn't effect their gameplay at all and not about the hacker that hacks a single player game.. well I think that's rather hypocritical in a way. If they aren't effecting you, don't bitch. Though, in general I'd say you shouldn't bitch at all. You should report to a GM and hope, but all these threads where people just bitch and bitch about hackers running the tired old reasons why they are annoyed with hackers.. the same reason everyone of us who doesn't hack are tired of hackers.. it gets tiresome.. we know they're fucking over our chances at fun and challengnig, you don't need to bitch about it all over the forums the same crap you have been. Get a damn live journal or blog or whatever for that.
That is what I did XD I don't consider it part of the game so I don't care to play my game with it, I never did. I just was curious, saw, said "meh, gets boring" and stopped in about 5 mintues. But I won't care if others are using them for their own gameplay where it doesn't effect mine.. if I did care about other people cheating cause it changes their personal gameplay and no one elses... than I might as well care about people who cheat/hack in a single player game.
exactly, that's when I think you should get annoyed by a hacker, when it does inconvenience you or another player. It's cheapening your experience with the game and not at your control, that is unfair. I agree, completely, I wish more thought that way.
