Cheating in SWTOR and other MMO’s, Why do People do It?

RayGun21 - "Today I was sitting minding my business when this YouTube video gets tweet spammed on #SWTOR column in TweetDeck. The offending video was a Speed and Credit Hack for Star Wars: The Old Republic."

Because people have no morals as long as that leaderboard or their character has the best stuff or whatever they don't care they had to cheat to get it.

cunnilumpkin4271d ago

no, that's the reason its not covered in jaggies and sub hd textures, and running at 20-28 frames per second in ugly ass 720p or less and screen tearing all over the place

because its a pc game

unlike every console game ever made, pc games actually look good and run good

fsfsxii4271d ago

Here we go again with your delusion.

sorane4271d ago

Seems pretty spot on to me. The ts on the otherhand........

Hicken4271d ago

The same reason anybody cheats: they're losers.

ZodTheRipper4271d ago

Except for cheating in games like GTA, that's acceptable :D

cyguration4271d ago

So what does that say about the people who buy DLC cheats for games?

titans99994271d ago

And this is why on line only games suck balls!!! LONG LIVE SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!

dcj05244271d ago

LONG LIVE MULTIPLAYER AND SINGLEPLAYER. Fixed it for you.

titans99994271d ago

Right dc, as long as game makers make a decent single payer mode, and as long as the elder scrolls keep making single player as well!!!

Embolado4271d ago

Same reason people use cheats in other games. For the lolz

Sadly just if you subscribe to Luna it appears. I hooked my EA account into it, which has Jedi Survivor, and it doesn't show in my Library. They don't show as a source either, so just a heads up to not let your purchasing decision be swayed as to where you pick the titles up if a bonus streaming option held any interest.

Dragon Age 4: A Dream Unrealized

SWTOR was a great game on a bad engine.

JunonZanon61d ago

Agreed, SWTOR still has some of the best dialogue from any Star Wars work. I think we all miss this old Bioware the most.

Mark Darrah: stop harassing devs because you don't know what caused "the thing that you're mad at"

Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah says "be a human being, have some empathy."
Fans don't know who is actually to blame.
Darrah throws up a hypothetical that someone might not like how an actor delivered a line. Sure, it could well be down to the actor, but it also might be down to who was directing them, how the writer asked their work to be delivered, or maybe that was the only take they got.

This line from the video though

"Maybe the CEO of the entire company really wanted his nephew to be hired as a script consultant and this guy with literally zero experience was coming in and pushing for mandatory changes"

Like others have said that seems far too specific to just be an example...

Eonjay66d ago

Exactly. And the crazy part about this is that the people there just doing their job and trying to make a living are the one's getting hurt and losing their jobs. I am also not a fan of targeting specific individuals. Its poor form. These are video games.

RiseNShine66d ago

If only there was a single problem with this game, it was a train wreck waiting to crash and burn.

thorstein66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

As usual, common sense falls on deaf ears. I mean, he thinks this article is about Dragon Age Veilguard. He rejects logic and evidence.

What possible logic or evidence can you provide to convince him otherwise.

Notellin65d ago

The community has spoken and would like for you to stop instead.

Armaggedon65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

@Thorstein

Cant expect people to see reason now a days.

@Notellin
Sure. Go ahead and bury yourselves beneath your own ignorance.

This article isn't about that game.

Gamingsince198165d ago

Veilguard was complete trash though anyway.

Notellin65d ago

Then don't use it for the thumbnail. It's misleading on purpose to draw this reaction.

thorstein65d ago

Or...I don't know... read the article.

staticall66d ago

Personally, i think we should always blame and criticize the management (especially top management; like with EA - every screw up should be blamed on Andrew Wilson and his goons). They're the ones with the power, the ones who have the last say in the matter - whatever is the plot details, gameplay, microtransactions, budget and «It's ok that it's buggy and crashes constantly, release the game ASAP, we'll fix it later».

Harrasement is not ok in my book, although, nowadays, many people paint every type of criticism (whatever warranted or not) as harrasement. Which is a very narrowminded and waters down actual harrasement problems. But, i guess, it makes it easier to ignore everything bad you see aimed towards yourself.

I would also like to add, that this topic is a double-edged sword, some developers are being mean to their customers, calling them names or any sort of -isms, that happens. In that case, don't be surprised, that, when you're «firing shots», customers are «shooting back» at you.

SimpleDad66d ago

We do want better games, and we get them by criticizing bad ones.

Eonjay66d ago

No you don't. Everything is criticized by somebody these days. By that logic everything is bad. Thats just more fuel for the echo chamber. The way you get games you want is by supporting the types of games you want by buying them. You want more games like Astrobot? Buy Astrobot. Recommend it to others. Its not about bashing what you don't like. its about supporting what you do like. Money talks.

SimpleDad66d ago

Absolutely, I buy my games cause subscriptions are also part of the problem. I don't criticize myself personally, but by observing criticism by others, I avoid purchasing games with problems.

TheColbertinator66d ago

No we don't. FIFA and Madden get criticized every year and the games get worse and more overpriced.

Christopher66d ago

Lack of profit is the only way to do it, but people are fine buying shit games every day, just not the shit games we talk about regularly here. We distract ourselves with this stupid 'social mirage' issue and the corporations get to keep doing less and less but selling it for more and more.

Armaggedon66d ago

“Better game” with big air quotes. What you like more, makes more sense.

Gamingsince198165d ago

Says the only guy in the world that likes vanguard, I bet you like avowed aswell huh

Empathy has no value when it comes to killing a franchise loved by thousands.

Eonjay66d ago

Empathy always has value when dealing with other human beings. This includes empathy towards the fans who feel scorned and the devs who worked their asses off.
