Ok...this is not asking for cheat codes, or hack methods before I get banned. In another thread, Superguppie made an excellent point. If people can createFSOD/X, surely there must be a way to prevent or undo its affects. I don't know anything about the code and how to use/abuse it, but logically there should be a way right?
C'mon, prove über legits wrong, show that hacking and manipulating code can be good...
Luke
No good can come of this. People will buy ARs and 90% will use it for more and abuse the system.
Gee whiz...fond of the stereotypes aren't we...and I thought I was overly skeptical. Give people a break. Not everyone who dupes is evil and out to get you. if someone wants to use AR codes and hacking to max their stats and hack their weapons, I honestly don't care. If they come into my game, and rape everything, ruining my game, I ask them to change weapons, most do, and if they don't, I leave. Its that simple. Show a little tolerance.
Luke
Why should we? They're breaking the rules and ruining the game. You can't have this attitude. Especially not in life. Should we tolerate people that make counterfeit money? They're not out to get us, but their use of counterfeits lowers the value of your real money. We should just let them be, right?Show a little tolerance.
I am fully aware that PSO is not life, but that doesn't mean that real life principles should not apply to it.
Because.
You are the better person for it...for showing tolerance, you are the better and more patient person. Take pride in not lowering yourself to namecalling and pathetic jabs.
Luke
You can keep yourself from doing that while still not tolerating such actions.
Infact you said you'd leave a game that had a jerk cheater in it. That's not tolerance.
I am tempted to agree with ADE and f00l when they say it will encourage more cheating. I mean, these people are spending $40 just to get their characters back. It's human nature to want more out of such a purchase than just a simple uncorruption.
I disagree, though, when they say they wouldn't want such a code released. In my opinion, this might be a nice thing to have if you can show a little restraint with it. Most people can't, but the ones who start cheating probably weren't legit in the first place. Being corrupted turns more people to cheating and duping than you could possibly imagine. They're about just as likely to come back legit if they did the code, seriously.
If the cheater refused to be civil and use a normal or less 1337 weapon, I would leave. I showed tolerance, I gave them a chance, they blew it. If they apologise, or use another character, I will be tolerant. Also, if when asked to bank their über weapon, they reply with the oh-so-elegant: STFU w34k n00b g.4.y!!!!!11, then I don't start a flame war, I say ok, I showed tolerance, and I leave civilly.
Luke
I agree with ADE that if you make something that CAN be used for bad, it WILL be used for bad. As is the case with AR.
The point with AR is, I don't really see much other use for it at the moment. The remark I made about the anti-FSOD code was motivated by some misplaced pride of some hacker over publishing those game ruining codes. It was meant as a synical remark, and it would really amaze me if the hackers would decide to pick up the glove and make themselves useful, even if only for that once.
But the cat is out of the box. AR is here, and the assholes that would us it to ruin the game are already doing it.
In some other thread I even expressed the hope I would never find a reason to buy AR. An FSOD protection would constitute such a reason. And although my hope of one being made is very small, I now have a little hope that I will actualy find a reason to buy AR.
All that's missing now is a response from those hackers I was addressing in that other thread...
Barubary hacks. Clara hacks. Does that make them by default sociopathical arseholes who are evil and detrimental to all society? Because they hack, doe that mean they spend all their time trying to find new ways to fuck over the rest of the PSO society? I think not. True, many people who hack do try to fuck around and pull of shit like NOLing and FSODX. That by no means means that all people who can hack do that kind of stuff. Its not black and white. On the other end of the internet line is a person. Believe it or not, they have a personality. Believe it or not, their life and beliefs are not dictated by whether or not they fucking dupe or can hack. Goddamit. You done gone made me mad...now this will probably get moved to rants....
