ive made this forum to ask why hacking is viewed as evil? wether people like it or not hacking just hapens to be a hard skill to learn and im still trying to work things out about it but hacking is not always a bad thing

but there is a stereotype of hacking and that type of hacking is game hacking wich in all honesty is a bad thing but i hate to tell you all

YOUR GOVERMENTS HIRE HACKERS TO SPY ON OTHER COUNTRIES! THERE IS A SIDE TO HACKING THAT YOU ALL DONT UNDERSTAND! PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HACKING SINCE BINARY WAS CREATED! AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY HACKING IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A USEFULL SKILL TO LEARN! the point is hackers dont just waste there time on free multiplayer games like this and are doing biger things all the time like trying to get into goverment files and trying to reduce prison sentances of there hacker buddies who arnt as good and maybe wernt carefull

hacking can be usefull !

please discuss

Oh cmon not another thread about this :(

im just trying to tell people that hacking is not always a bad thing
but now this thread will probebly be closed

I my self are a big fan of hacking (not games so much)
but I think hacks for games just ruins the game,
just give the creator of the game a list of vulnerabilities and how to fix them ^^

true but hack proofing stuff in almost impossible but im sure you know this being a hacker yourself

Thank you for making a thread about it, Alucard, as I've been genuinely wondering why some people dislike the use of trainers so far, yet cannot give valid reasons for it.

It's viewed as a bad thing because it introduces a negative experience for the other users. You can cut it how you want but that's the end result.

Also, the term "hacker" is very misconstrued. I'd say 99% of these self-proclaimed "hackers" don't have a clue what hacking really is.

@OP

Dude...read the forum rules, then cool it with the all caps plinx. B 4 u getz banned.

....again, your other account afro samuri was banned.

Hired hacking and programming is one thing.

Distributed scripts for kiddies for none other than to cheat is another.

i agree as long as your not trying to ruin for instance this game i am fine with hacking or as long as your not stealing importent things

Without the "hackers" the exploits would go undetected.

^ then also they would go unexploited, as only the hackers are exploiting ^_^

Or privately exploited.

hacking is cool as long as it doesn't negatively affect the experience for others

most people who use game hacks have some kind of unfair advantage - that's cheating and it's not ok because it ruins the fun for those who play the game's intended design

I bet a hacked server would be fun. Everyone could fly, have infinite ammo, ect..

^ the game would be ruined, it'd be no fun, you cant kill anyone and no one can kill you?

A server where everyone used the fly hack would simply be awesome. It'd be like we had jetpacks in the game.

Well that's YOUR opinion, Death. No guarantee that's necessarily true.
I find hacked servers to be quite fun, everyone flying around as if they had jetpacks and sniping..

Hacked servers are a good idea imo.

i think that it would be cool if you could change the gravity, and things like that. so you can have a moon map, and then jump around with low gravity

Yes everything can be used for good purposes and bad, if i wanted to i could probably go out on a murder rampage with a butter knife. however said butter knife is only bad when used to hurt people (or ya know, stuff other than stuff with food thats bad). likewise hacking could save lives (Which it does), but a majority of the time it isnt. people dislike hacking here so much because its almost exclusively used to ruin others fun.

Hacking gives you an unfair advantage in public servers. Unless you somehow hack yourself to have 50 less hp. But seriously, who on earth would do that?

well.....the majority of "hackers" on here just download something install and then god mode or inf ammo.....no skill involved
