The majority are people with guilty consciences who try to justify what they are doing is legit, if these people think that the game isn't the be all and end all, they wouldn't dupe, they'd go "oh, dear, I lost my weapon, never mind, rather than whinge and complain about it, or dupe on, which I shall call a back-up to ease my conscience, I shall play the game as it's meant to be played, perhaps, even *scoffs* meet some of the other players of the game".
I go online, play the game with, meet some of the other players, and have some fun with them, rather than cry myself out on the inside, all because I lost a weapon.
People who are so convinced that backing-up isn't duping obviously have a guilty conscience, like players who spawn kill on FPS games you will never be able to make them see any different, they have their heads so far up their own rear-ends, even more sure of their own self superiority than real legit players, that they won't accept it, and just use the same lame "oh, I'm protecting my weapons" excuses, you don't ask for a refund when you don't win on the lottery, gaming on PSO is the same, there's a slightly chance of getting FSOD, boohoo, you lose a wep, get over it, it's just a game.
A friend of mine FSOD lost both their PSO game files, I gave them a dozen weapons they lost, and over 650 PSO3 cards, we had a nice conversation about stuff, and also about the game, which is what the game is, a community.
As for not being able to be bothered, yes, that's right, because it's just a game, and if I lose a wep, I will set out to re-find it anew, again, just a tired excuse used by wannabe' legits, those who mourne over the loss of a weapon like a loved one has just died.
Duping, (backing-up, for the pansies who wish to argue on definitions of terms), spawn-killing, snaking, the whole deal, fine for those who have trouble accepting it's just a game, and get an emotional attachment to a fictional item, but for those of us who just accept losing weapons and FSOD'ing as partof the game, we will move on, and actually sleep with someone else, rather than our memory cards, dreaming of items that never actually exist.
