It's like being king of the world while being stuck in the matrix. An elegant solution that keeps them raving about the game but doesn't affect the surrounding players at all. Much better then having to repeatedly ban them, after they start a new account and max everything again.

I don't think D3 really cares if you continue to play in your sandbox world where you place first every single time (not that it'd matter because with cheats you can already get any cover in the game buy just buying all the 4000 HP packs). And there probably is value to D3 to have the guys in their sandbox getting 1st every single game. At the very least, these guys won't be around spreading lies about how they were unfairly banned which may indeed actually hurt your game.

Yeah, I think if people were outright banned, the number of trolls on the forum would skyrocket.

Yeah, I think if people were outright banned, the number of trolls on the forum would skyrocket. There was a funny thing valve did to catch people who pirated/got an illegal copy of Garry's Mod. They input some kind of update code so that players who had an illegal version would get some kind of error. Eventually people started e-mailing in, in their thousands about how the game was bugged and broken and how they kept getting this error... let me see if I can find it. Here we go: Click There was another thing here I realize that this is anti-piracy and not cheating but I'm hoping you can sort of get the point across of playing along with cheaters for a while, it's fun to toy with people who cheat. Right?

That they are actually good at the game? 5.For me, the satisfaction comes from putting in the hours and earning my spot in the top 10. 6.Of course it's mostly anger and frustration i feel on the way to the top but the buzz you get from reaching that goal,character,iso is great. And i wouldnt change it. 7.I take pride in that i dont spend money on this game. What i have i worked for. Those coins i earned are through blood, sweat and tears and they are so precious to me. EDIT: cheaters are welcome to let me know how you feel, i know there is a few of you here too who openly admit to cheating

As someone who also considers himself a geek and a good programmer, please don't lump yourself in with those of us who use our skills (note the proper spelling, you illiterate buffoon) for the good of society, ourselves, and the world at large. We don't generally use our skills to tear down the world, be anti-social, or self-aggrandizing. Taking pride in hacking a game is downright laughable. It's like bragging that you intimately met your right hand for the first time.
