A serious question from a clean player to "your" community - Why?

[RJ]

I've hacked in cs:s for years. Never once caught a ban. I don't think I've ever been banned for hacking. Then again, I always use t3h gewd shyt.

[DawgiiStylz]

I am an expert at hiding hacks. Never will be banned and never will.

Also he used so many big words i didnt even understand. There was like a monster word trying to eat me and my weak poor vocabulary

You guys love feeding the troll. Sigh

1. What is the motivation behind hacking Combat Arms so heavily? Is it a hatred for Nexon in general, or is it a cry for attention?

Have you heard of a hobby?

2. Why do each of you feel the need to use a cheater program to rank up, gain quick or easy xp/gp instead of actually improving your skills as the game intended?

I agree that's retarded, but some pople just like fighting a system that can be beat.

3. Why do you think it is neccessary to call yourselves "pwners" when it requires the use of a program to achieve a win?

Why do you take it so personally? It's a game.

4. Is it possible to write an Anti-Hack program for those of us who wish to maintain a clean room an honest play? Essentially nullifying the effects of hackers in a room that they are obviously unwanted. Kind of like creating a virus and a cure?

Yes, but NProtect has failed.

5. What is the average age of this hacking community? Based on the experience that I have had with players in the game/s, Youtube video research and browsing threads in this forum, picture avatars posted here as well as common grammatical speech patterns I will assume that this average age is around 14?

There are millions of forms of hacking. Most people who 'hack'(aka copy shit) games, and about 14 - 15. Most real hackers, I.E White hats or black hats require lots of training and experience in school.

6. By getting yourself banned and kicked out of so many different games and servers, what is the end result of all this? Is it a satisfaction that you really ruined people's gaming experience who wish to actually play the game, or is a need for attention that is not being met either socially or emotionally?

Why do you give a shit?

I am sure by now that most of you who intend to enlessly flame this thread have long since stopped reading, but for those of you who I hope will endulge me in a conversation must know, I do not intend to report anyone, try to get anyone in trouble or anything of the sort, I am just researching the reasoning behind why you do what you do and what sort of reward you get from it.

Only if you flame me.

i never played combat arms, but i play crossfire all the time, i used to hack on a sh-tty account to get people p-ssed off and to watch people cry( not literally)

Now i play legit because hacking doesn't seem to be the same anymore

but other people hack for fun and some people hack because they are just too dumb and retarded to actually beat other players without cheating.

now i play legit all the time, come play me on crossfire some time

1. The motivation behind hacking is to do things you are not allowed to.
You're parents tell you you can't go somewhere?
You sneak out and do it anyway, same concept.

2. It's just a game, who cares if you are skilled or not. You're not going to make any money from it if you are good or if you suck. Makes no difference.

3. "Pwning" is when you serverly beat someone. That is the definition. Hacking counts too. If you cheat at a maths test, and pass? Did you really pass? Yes, you did. You just cheated.

4. No matter how many "anti-hack" programs you write, there will always be a person that cracks it and bypasses it etc. It's a never ending cycle, you can't beat hackers, ever.

5. The average age for hack users is about 14/15. Hack creators are usually a few years older, given the experience.

6. Yes, it is. There is nothing more humorous that watching someone else get pissed off. This has got nothing to do with need for attention. Getting banned or kicked only heightens the excitement, just make a new account.

3. "Pwning" is when you serverly beat someone.

Let me clear something up, that's not true. I have always been a fan of a good hacker's exploit story, and the term "owned" originally was developed when a hacker completly took control of another system. So see Kingal you really haven't owned anyone. The word "pwned" wouldn't even exist without hackers. We have been owning since day one.

Yes, took control of a system, that person got OWNED.
Same concept, you rape them.

No. they were owned, because they literally owned their computer. The hacker's program were so deep inside the target computer that they were undetectable and impossible to remove. Also your using a recursive definition, defining owned with owned.

One of my favorite non-fiction stories I have read.
