Ok so, now you have gone through the trouble of reporting people and joining a website to argue with the people doing these exploits. If this isn't consuming your life, why do you keep arguing with people on here as well as bringing your little buddies to help stir up trouble? The majority of the people doing this hack don't do it to pad stats or to intentionally harm people in any way, they just want to explore new areas and mess around a bit. It is a game mind you. To the gentleman dissecting my entire post, you must understand there are two sides of the spectrum here. Every argument is structured that way, you must try to understand the other side of the argument. IW is to blame for this just as much as the ufo people. If it were a security software application, would this make more sense to you? By leaving the game susceptible to these hacks, they are guilty. Just the same if Norton Anti-Virus left your computer vulnerable to an attack, you would blame the hacker as well as the software company.
Are you guys the type of people that report J-Walkers to the police everytime you see one saying "They are ruining the road for everyone." Yes, they are breaking a rule or law, but it is so insignificant no one cares. This situation has the same relevance. Who are we hurting so badly? How so? If your gaming experience is that important to you, something is wrong. Now, if it were stealing accounts or credit card info...yeah report 'em. This is only affecting gameplay. Oh and since you like to report people so much, I decided to report you for harassing me on this forum. You tell people not to call you names, but then turn around and call me one. Hypocritical much? You guys think that just because people might get banned for modding a little bit your argument is correct? Of course IW is going to ban people or punish people in some way, how would they look if they didn't? Stupid. There's no need to insult anyone on here if you want to have a debate. I haven't called anyone any names, as much as I want to, so be adults and quit harassing people because your little precious game is "ruined" now.
Right, cause I have some downtime at work and feel like posting my opinions, I'm wasting my time. I could be doing something else, sure. Do I want to? No. You're only trying to make yourself the "RIGHT" person in this conversation. Like I said, IW didn't put a "Cheats" section in the game, therefore, they didn't leave it "OPEN" to everyone. Someone had to manaully go in and manipulate the code in a file that was placed on their system. That is, as stated before, against IW's ToS. Not to mention, against the PSN's ToS as well.
In all reality, there is no way to justify what they did is RIGHT in any way at all. Yes, in time they will be punished, and
IN MY OPINION I hope they get a permanent ban because they will do it again if the opportunity comes around.
Keep in mind, I am not a heavy player of this game. I play maybe 1 or 2 nights out of the week for an hour or so, and it's become a real big disruption for me. That being said, I'm sure I'm not the only person upset about this.
