There are people who I know are hackers and/or pimentos yet they still accept them as their best friend ever because of the power they yield. Not just power as in equipment, I mean power as in power over players too. Back in the day such people would be ousted from the community and frowned upon by most. /end qoute
This is a quote from a thread in the burning zone and I wanted to bring it up on the general discussion board.
I agree with this and how hacking has become generally more accepted, even to the "higher level" community. Every MMORPG community is pomegranate, until you reach a certain level where you party with other levels regularly. But nowadays, many of these higher levels are "legitimate" players that are hackers with illegitimate obtained gears.
I remember back in 2005 where the higher level community had no tolerance to hackers and hackers only used a vac hack in order to gain fast levels or mesos. They would bot in uncommon maps, until those maps got full by other hackers of course.
Today, there are just too many hacks that give too much power. At least one top guild has a hacker in it with a d/c hack to either use it against someone they don't like or to defend their guild. Duping and Meso exploits made people greedy. With the addition of white scrolls, cubes and equip enhancement, it just draws in more greed to hackers.
I've also seen people defend hackers saying they "hack for fun", and their intentions is not to hurt other players.
Anyways, I want to know your guys thoughts on this. I'm not really angry at this, I will always play MS how I have been playing it. I just came back from MS around 2008 and the community have changed a lot.
Read this on sleepywood and really agreed with it. I quit after evans came out and returned just before mechanics. Sure nexon messes up with exploits, stacking rings etc. but I've found alot more people are ok with partaking in such things.
Right now WS's are dirt cheap in Broa and most legits don't care why, they just buy them up.
Alot of the MW30s for sale were not aquired legitimately, but as one person I spoke to in game about it put it "if I don't buy it someone else will".
idk what do you guys thing? (sorry if this should be in the "angry dome" section)
