Re: Brain Dead Stupid Easy to Understand said by DaDogs:People cheat. Given the opportunity 80 percent of gamers on line would cheat. That would push the rest to cheat... Yeah, people will always cheat, but your 80% is way over the top! I would put the percentage of cheaters at about 15%.

| Regardless of the percentages, cheating ruins the game for everyone else. Has anyone played Diablo 1 recently? If you aren't hacked you die as soon as you enter a game.
I applaud Blizzard for trying to crack down on cheating.

Cheating can and does completely ruin games. It's beyond my how anyone gets satisfaction out cheating to win in a game...

(15+80)/2 = 47.5 and that is realistic

I agree. There are a lot of honest players out there than enjoy good, clean fun. I would put the number below 10% at least in the game I play the most often: Americas Army. I won't speak for other titles.

Please don't miss the deliberate and literal reading of your post  Clearly you mean less than 10% cheat in AAO.
You do know that AAO uses Punk Buster which is a program that runs along side of the AAO client and examines all the software running on your system, right?
Maybe there is a reason that only 10% seem to cheat at AAO or maybe more than 10% cheat and only 10% get away with it? I play AAO myself and I can remember a time when a large percentage of players were cheating, specifically the fourth quater of 2004. It was very bad during that time.
I heard that someone wrote Department of the Army and detailed the issue to them and that they told the devs and the idiots that develop PB to get their stuff in one bag or find a new customer...
Looks like it worked to me...

| The attitude of any game's community will determine greatly whether or not players turn to cheats. If the honest players help out the newbies, the percentage of total cheaters compared to legit folks should be nominal. I'm not saying there isn't hardly any cheating, but there are steps that can be taken that aren't even technical.

said by Phil:It's beyond my how anyone gets satisfaction out cheating to win in a game... Probably the same reason why people enjoy launching a virus. It's a power trip on-line for the feeble minded. They get more pleasure out of watching or knowing other people are getting angry, frustrated, or just plain failing while at the same time boosting their own ego.
Otherwise, there is really no "gaming" being done on the end of the cheater. |
