Poll of the Day > Define cheating

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've had people think I'm cheating when I'm just good at a game, only to get blamed and banned for it, which is actually cheating.

I dont mean to be a buzzkill or anything, but if you were banned from a game it was because they found evidence of you cheating.

NO there was no evidence. Just their opinion.

A lot of people who accuse first get away with it. It's an absolute reality. They are completely ignorant a lot of the time too. It happens in real life too. People who are ignorant destroy peoples lives ignorantly and don't earn it. They never get to be that good. A lot of the times people just can't comprehend that stuff because they aren't that good.

Looking at porn

Depends on the game;

Some games it is blatantly obvious (health won't go down or they have way more shots than usual)

If you're banned from a game unfairly nothing you can do but laugh at how stupid the ban was unfortunately

I agree cheating is wrong in all circumstances though. That is one form of cheating. At life too.

You should be proud when you get banned from a game for cheating when you weren't

I know this because a lot of people rage quit etc. I got that good because i never rage quit and would play games until the bitter end and it actually made me really good at some games. They will get pissed start accusing you of things. you disagree and tell the truth. They just twist it around and you are blamed for it.

I think it's thoughtless to just quit a game on someone. Im actually really nice. If i have to leave ill let them know too for some reason.

I take it easy on some people too. Know when to walk away etc..

It happens to me here too. I've had people come in moderate me and tell me its time to walk away etc. when ive already walked away and wasnt even thinking about it being blamed for something i didn't even do. Some people are truly ignorant too. It's a word in the dictionary if used properly. Its not my fault people cant realize it. They think i'm frustrated and lashing out. No some people are truly ignorant.

These people are teaching me nothing for a reason. It's funny what they do they don't even see it. Its' like walking away and then havng someone telling you to walk away who isn't doing that themselves and is doing exactly what they are telling you you are doing.

I don't cheat that's the thing. I think about how i effect other people. It would be nice if people realized there are just intelligent people out there instead of trying to control it all the time. Because it's honestly just true. I would always try to learn from people as well. And honestly after a while you start to realize it's not you that's the moron and it's just true.

Doing something to give yourself an unfair advantage.

That stuff is unfair that's the thing.

I would try to learn from other people and honestly the stuff people assume is just unfair after a while.

I do find it a little funny that there is a fine line between being godly good or lucky and cheating. Some folks can't tell the difference and unfortunately most usually lean toward the latter if they're on the receiving end of the beating stick.

Konami code is cheating

I don't use mods or anything like that. Just ps4 and controller.

Like single player games if a mod is out there that just makes a game better i don't think there is anything wrong with that.

I'm a purist in ways though. I like making things more difficult. If osmething gives me an unfair advantage i wont use it.

Like competitive games i usually just keep it on an even playing field. A lot of people do use mods and have an unfair advantage. I never liked that stuff overly.

If it adds to teh fun of the game i see no issue with other people using it though. I'll make it more difficult for myself.

That's the thing is i rarely if ever complain about what other people are doing. If they want to do that stuff that's fine.

Even in games like diablo and wow peole would cheat. Or go against higher levels. I used to have fun going against them and not doing that. It just makes no sense when these people are saying i'm cheating when they lose. I like the challenge of it. They think they can't lose or something.

Cheating is using an exploit or third party program to give yourself an unfair advantage over the other players.

In short this.
I've no issue with mods/cheats in single player games but online it obviously can be a issue.
---

it's only cheating if you get caught
---

Right I don't do that. I would actually enjoy sticking it to those people. So I actually just got really good and people think i'm cheating.

Same with going up against higher levels. I would just enjoy the competition because i felt like i was getting better which i was.

Why do you keep proclaiming you don't do these things over and over? You asked folk to define cheating and thus that's what they are doing. If you really wasn't cheating you wouldn't be so defensive.

Does teaming up in teamless games count as an exploit?

cheating is picking oddjob in Goldeneye

I would say the same things. Just clarifying what i actually do. This is what I mean though. Define cheating. you think i'm being defensive so therefore i'm cheating. Maybe I"m not cheating and what some people do to win their argument actually is.

I feel like TC is leaving out details of what happened to make himself look like 5he victim here

No i'm actually not. I'm just being totally honest. A lot of people accuse first and don't see that as cheating. They think just because they think something it must be so.

They never hear the other side of the story sometimes. It's called ignorance.

I've been softbanned from Smash Bros U for being too good at it I think.

Either that or it was being an asshole player, but still.

Is it really cheating to take advantage of dev errors?

Yes. Yes it is.

who determines what is that and what isn't though. There are a lot of stupid people out there who couldn't code a game to save their lives that use ridiculous tactics. That's what i'm saying though. Some dude in madden has some ridiculous gameplan that is is obviously doing that. I honestly don't care. They can do what they want. Just don't accuse me of crap when im playing fair and square and beating you.

That's really the only way to deal with it in a fair way. They can do what they want. When someone who is a cheater is accusing people of cheating that aren't and determining what that is, that's an issue.

IT's like some guy who spams the same money play over and over. Then you stop it and he's like you are cheating. They can do that for all i care.

When people are making up rules that are obviously biased there's an issue there. It's no different than gamefaqs and their boards ehre. People troll and flame people all the time. The moderators do nothing.

Theres a lot of waah waah itt
---

I honestly don't care if people cheat that's the thing. If they want to do that that's fine. I'll just beat them in my own way. Too many people whine. It's no different than the moderators here. All they do is whine. People troll and flame people all the time. I dont think i've ever reported anyone in my life. yet i'm being blamed for crap because people are a bunch of whiners. If i say that i'm then trolling according to them. No i'm not.

I'd like to see these people say these things to my face too. They can't because they are a bunch of whiners. They are also totally delusional.

If the devs screwed up and people are exploiting their game I honestly don't care. Why are they blaming me for it? Who are these people?

That's a rhetorical question too. I know why. It's because they are complete morons.

I used to get kicked out of Punkbuster enabled UT matches for being too good at getting headshots.... sometimes hosts are just sore losers.

Yes. Yes it is.

What if the devs say it wasn't intentional but won't punish anybody for doing it?

"Define cheating"

Getting a reward without solving a problem

I agree there are loads of people out there like that. They are called people who don't know their own ignorance. And when they are called on it they continue to think it's the other people when it's not.

Why if someone is being a moron they should be able called that too. It's a word in the dictionary. And if used properly it's perfectly acceptable.

It's no different than the moderators telling someone to walk away and that they are trolling when that person isn't trolling and isn't even there. That is trolling and continuing a cycle of abuse going that isn't even happening as they see it.

When someone trolls someone and makes someone out to be a troll that isn't trolling that's stupid. Failing to recognize that is also stupid when they've been told that.

Same with being accused of cheating by someone who can't even see you when you aren't cheating and you tell them that and they continue to think that.

That stuff is cheating. Like i said if you can't prove it and can't say it to my face then you are cheating. Because what i'm saying is actually true. Sitting behind a computer screen trolling and lying about people is cheating. It's also stupid and trolling and flaming. ANd harassment for that matter. Failure to recognize that is also you whining. It's called sitting behind a computer and not having a backbone to stand on either.

Reporting somebody falsely isn't what cheating is.

Well it actually is. Because i've been on the internet long enough to know this. and rarely if ever do people realize that stuff. People will twist things all day to make it look like it's you when it's not.

These.

I haven't left out any details. It's just true. People do bad things they get called on it in a fair way. So they are sore losers.

You know who else are sore losers? People who get caught cheating.

Well I'm not a sore loser. I'm just telling the truth.

The truth usually wins out in the end.
