| Re: Cheating and Stuff For the most part, I'd agree with sevenpointflaw's views on cheating. I didn't recognize some of the "unofficial plugins" so I haven't formed an opinion on them yet.
Things like position-hacking are definitely cheats. It's pathetic when respected players are caught cheating, say "yeah, but I won't do it anymore" (why? Because you got caught? And I believe you?) and are still respected by their peers. The excuse is that the "only" way to compete with other players for end-game is with cheats. If the thrill of the hunt is supposed to be your skill vs. the skill of others, then there's no accomplishment if a 3rd-party program did the work for you. It's like swapping in Andre Agassi to win a high school tennis match and claiming victory for yourself.
Personally, I don't even use a Windower just because I like things simple and clean. There are things I'd like SE to add (like allow <calls> in /echo), but I just send them suggestions rather than adding a 3rd-party program. |
