ex-+ploit
verb
gerund or present participle: exploiting
/ik-êsploit/
1.
make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource).
Clearly you've exploited the enter key.
Context is important here. It's never described as an exploit if a sniper finds the best high ground, despote the fact that their actions perfectly fit the definition you've shared here. I'd be willing to bet that there are more definitions than this one given in the source you have cited.
When something is called an exploit in the context of a video game, it means the resource being exploited is either an unintended consequence of game mechanics, or a malfunction in those mechanics. Eploiting the latter of those two is enough to be considered a cheat.

How do you go about correcting other peoples' posting with this terrible crap? Try using the preview button, friend. It's helped me avoid many a hilarious gaffe like your use of the word despot + an extra e. Eploiting? Is that like piloting, but on the internet? Just spend that extra thirty seconds is all I'm asking. We can make this forum a better place; one post at a time.
You know what would make this forum, and the internet in general, a better place?
Not giving a **** about typos.
Could you understand what I said? If not, you're the one in need of help, not me. |

You make fun of another guy's bad writing and then are unironically angry when I mock you offer advice to improve your bad writing. Color me amused.
Using the enter key in that manner was a decision. It accurately reflects the intentions of the author, and can be scrutinised as a result.
Typos are not an author's decision, and they generally don't impede anybody's ability to understand the concepts being discussed. Unless, of course, tedious individuals such as yourself derail the conversation by picking at insignificant details. |

Just because some people dont know or cant figure out how to do it that doesnt mean its a cheat..... if thats the case then regnum and protoman are cheating because they know how to aim better than 99% of the dust community. You just sound like an idiot if you call it cheating. Call it exploiting a glitch but cheating? No.
How is using a glitch to gain an advantage equivalent to being better at the game?
Terrible logic. |
