Hackers Suck

Hackers hack for many reasons. Too learn about the inner workings of something. To make themselves more knowledgable, or even for the simple reason of because they can. Not all hackers ruin the game. Back when I played, I had different phases. I would help people, sometimes I would FSOD or corrupt people. I did the second one more often. I don't really feel bad for anything I did, afterall it's just a game. Nothing to kill yourself over. As some of the staff members have said, I am a "Dickwad" or something to that extent.Yeah, I fsoded people, I corrupted people. It's a game. A big reason PSO gets hacked is because the people doing it know they won't get into any trouble. Sega doesn't care, and Sonic Team doesn't care. If you could commit a "crime" and get away with it, would you? Some people would, others will just complain about it asking why and trying to get them to stop. You can't stop them unless the people who made the game cared, or if you are able to stop them with hacking. Fight fire with fire, not fire with bitching.

*edit* I didn't answer why some hackers ruin games. It's mostly because we know we can, and that we won't get caught. Sometimes they just have it out for a few people. Again though, as other people said, complaining won't do anything. Also, hackers for the most part aren't gonna be swayed by words and begging. It will just make them do it more because they know it will upset people. Thats why I did when I played PSO. Mods or a staff member, this should be locked. Last thing I want is a flame war. Oh and Double Edge, if it's you who locks this, don't think I'm trying to get attention, I'm just being honest.
