So I'm at a loss since we can't come to a conclusion. So I'm asking General Discussion. Is exploiting/glitching in PC considered cheating? I just want to finally lay this topic to rest and know more clearly which of us is right.
Exploiting in-game mechanics demonstrates the need for those mechanics to be reworked. AFK farming or LLAV murder taxis are regular exploits.
However: exploiting a malfunction in mechanics, I.e. glitches, is cheating. The melee & invisibility exploits are cheating. |

As fun as it might be to absorb ourselves with the drama of the meta game, this isn't war, it's a game. |

CHEATING is the huge buzzword in video games that people jump to when they want to convince others that something is 'bad' in the evil or wrong moral sense of the word. It's a game. It has no analogues to real life morality and comparisons to such are stupid. Find a bug or an exploit, report it and move the **** on. Or make multiple threads about it on the forums I guess.
Games have no analogues to real life?
Cheating is not a matter of morality?
What on earth are you taking about?
The intention of this thread is to discuss the nature of a particular glitch/exploit/cheat. How can it be reported if there shouldn't be a discussion on whether or not there is something to be reported?

Reread the title of the thread. If that isn't a statement about the morality of this glitch, then what is it? A question about whether or not to report it...? Really? Are saying that you believe CCP still needs a report about the fact that this melee thing happens? Five threads in GD, 10 pages in this thread plus an unknown amount of emails sent to CCP isn't enough?
If you don't think the conversation should be had, why contribute to it?
There are consequences to using these exploits, and whether those consequences come from CCP or the community depends largely upon conversations like this.
You seem to be objecting to the fact that multiple people care enough about an aspect of the game to make a thread about it.
I'm sorry they couldn't all meet beforehand and arrange to only make one thread to appease you. |
