I request that this thread be locked. We have been trolled for far to long. We should not have to suffer any more of one persons attempt to destroy others enjoyment of the game. (and to those who blindly jumped onto the bandwagon: i pity you)
At the very least i recommend the removal of 'how it ruins the game' from the title.

LOL, oh shit... You're one of those guys who use mods as your own personal weapon. You must come from League of Legends.




There's nothing forcing people to read this thread, much less agree with it. How is this ruining anybody's fun, exactly???

You're just ONCE AGAIN redirecting attention with a completely baseless argument, but this time you've stooped low enough to threaten calling a mod in???



You're out of control, dude. I wonder if you manipulate people you know in real life in this same way.

What are you still doing here? The game is ruined remember. Bye bye.

The game is ruined dude. Why are you playing a ruined game? Perhaps you are just to dumb to realize you dont have to play a ruined game.

Please refrain from petty name calling. I'd hate to see your bronze supporter account muted.

Now he's spamming out the thread hoping that it gets locked from the spam. Yet another cheap redirection tactic.



Hopefully, the mod just puts him on probation and keeps the thread intact.

Troll much?
Some of us actually respect Skycore as being both intelligent and wise.

I'm not discrediting his intelligence. In fact, if anything, I'm giving him that bone because he's easily manipulating the opinions of people like you.

Fortunately, however, I am able to see through his subterfuge. I'm trying to expose it to you guys, but you seem to be unable to identify it regardless...

Some of you defend cheating too. What a crazy little community.

Amazing post by Michaelangel007.

Instead of blaming the cheaters and their methods, we need to blame the game design and the players. That is by far the best, in-depth 'cheating excuse' analysis I've seen in ages.

1. I was simply pointing how the existing system works (or not.) Please show me where in my post I directly said anything about cheating or made "excuses" for breaking the ToA??

I neither advocated NOR protested multi-boxing as the issue is MOOT.

"

So, theoretically, what game designers should do is give all of the "top tier items" to players upon purchase and implement God Mode once the player begins to play. Then you wouldn't have cheaters.

2. You did read "3. Local Currency", right? Specifically where I said (with emphasis added for your reading comprehension):

"

We ALL collect items and FREELY trade/give them to one another as needed. This way we don't give a crap what other people's over-priced items are. We have learnt to just "Play the game and have fun."

3. You have _completely_ missed the point, which I am going to bold so you "get it":

If you had actually studied ANY in-game economies such as Reddit's Diablo 2 server where NO BOTTING is allowed you would see that the economy STILL tanked.

Why?

Because the players will ALWAYS spend insane amount of hours farming for items. THAT is the WHOLE POINT of the game. To level up and collect items!!! Changing the game design is not going to "fix" human nature given this model. ( You can read the threads/debates on reddit.com/r/slashdiablo whether or not to reset the ladder due to the "broken" economy. )

You basically have two choices:

a) You can accept the fact that certain people will farm the shit out drops (both legally and illegally -- I neither approve nor condone of other people's actions.)

OR

b) Ignore them and just play the dam game.

Your choice. As they say:

Those who fail to lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.


Edit: Fixed spelling of "people's actions"

just to be clear..

i don't multibox. but i don't think multibox is cheating.

in real life, someone drives very expensive car while you are driving some cheap car.

it's not fair but someone can afford something better to do stuff.

if this person is selling drugs to make money or anything illegal, then that is cheating. he should be punished. tho we need a proof he is guilty.


multibox alone isn't cheating.

STOP with the BAD analogies.





You wanna use a car analogy? Mention how one Nascar racer gets a 10 year old Sedan while another gets a brand new Camry. This way, both people in the analogy have an actual competitive goal while the playing field is uneven, instead of your biased analogy where it doesn't really matter what happens.
