this is a funny story, I play gmod a lot and in the 6th grade I went on wolf rp server, now normally you can’t spawn props unless you either an admin or a high ranked person (especially the later if the prop is big), but they miss something, they missed one of the cars that was a ragdoll not the standard prop, I notice this and started to have fun, sure I was limited to one but still some freedom, the fun ended when I told someone about… not privately, and as you imagine things went south from there, cue every D class that heard it spawning said car, and cue the admins fixing the glitch… thankfully I wasn’t punished due to the fact that it would naturally come out. But then again it was going to be patched.
so what is the lesson here, if you have a fun glitch don’t tell other people cause they might ruin it.
(edit: this is more like human error other than a hack but still exploitation.)
I remember exploiting in a game called KoGaMa, first getting banned by a honeypot, then finding a work around which I strategically toggled so that people wouldn’t report me.
I’ve also exploited a little bit in Roblox (just the WeAreDevs infinite jump) a few years ago but since then, I have grown up and realized that exploiting is pointless and hurts the game.
so because it’s not in the real world, it’s fine? interesting.
or because it’s a recreational activity, any complaints towards the behavior of other participants are trivial? interesting as well.
i specifically targeted and talked about PvP because in a competitive environment, fair play is the entire point of the game, and thus the typical participant expects their matches to be a judgement of their skill. when that norm is disrupted, getting annoyed and complaining about it isn’t “crying”. it’s perfectly fair.
Dont know why you find it interesting when it’s literally a virtual world so anything you do is fine and the only one that could stop you are the rules that you either abide or not.
If you disagree with that, then that’s as if you’re saying you cant differentiate what’s real and what’s virtual and that I should feel guilty over something bad that i’ve done in the virtual game.
As for the competitive PvP, where was it that says fair play should be the entire point? Who in their right mind would think a competitive fight should be fair? No, if it’s competitive, then fight with all you got, be it unfair or not since that’s literally the point of a fight. If you’re talking about a tournament, then obviously exploiting would be idiotic if you’re planning on winning as abiding the rules is a requirement to win so often times no one would even exploit on it.
This’ll be pretty much my last reply since this would end up as an arguement that should be taken in DMs and when it’s just the two of us, we wont reach a conclusion.
so exploiting in a fighting game would be perfectly fine because you should fight with all you got? what you don’t seem to be getting is that exploiting isn’t even like just using another tool. when playing chess, for instance, you can do whatever you want in so far as it abides to the rules of chess. bringing a fucking table and swiping the board clean isn’t fair even if it were your table.
using rules like that basically eradicates any concept of fair play. what’s the point of playing competitive if you have no real way to gauge skill?
Next you’re gonna talk about why the raping exploit on roblox is completely fine to do because it’s a virtual game. Putting Nazi symbols in your display name also means nothing since it’s just a virtual game smh. Hell, why not become a groomer on Roblox?? It’s just a virtual game.
Guess so, though except grooming since that would also mean doing something in the real world, then that of course isnt fine to do. You can only do whatever you want as long as it stays within the virtual game since that’s what it’s used for anyways, being able to do something that you cant in the real world.
that’s what it’s used for, but it isn’t it’s purpose, nor does that mean that all instances of exercising this authority should be honored. it’s not even used for this all the time: generally, the internet is just a convenient way to transfer large bits of information in a convenient medium through long distances. just so happens that such a resource is by its very nature really good for providing great freedom and anonymity.
this is the densest shit i’ve seen in a while, so i am convinced that you are only saying this because you feel the need to die on this hill. why? only god knows. if i happen to be incorrect, then take that shit with whoever you happen to worship, because i don’t even know what to say here.
