    I used to cheat in GunZ online, but to be fair, I was like 11, the game wasn’t competitive, and leveling up for cooler gear and to unlock new maps was HARD work.

    Eventually I’d git semi gud and stopped bothering with the cheats. But it was fun as hell flying through the map with no clip, as a ball of fire that killed everything except other cheaters with godmode lmao

      There’s something to be said for skipping unreasonable grind. It’s not okay to mess with other players experience, but that other part I do get.

      Woohoo to being responsible for others not having any fun playing a game!

      Woo! Woooooo.

      What?

      I don’t know why you would admit this.

          Yeah exactly, at that age knowing how to download cheats and stuff actually made you feel sorta cool, not everyone could figure it out (and I know most kids wanted to).

          Then realising it’s more fun without the cheats, just getting good at the game, I’d even dare call it a story of personal development.

            This is the modern internet tho. You used cheats once 20 years ago as a child. Thus your shit for the rest of your life have no right to parole and deserve to be thrown in a hole?!!1!!1!1! /S
