Why Do Peoples Love To Cheat?

[catatonic]

Ye, I'm pissed...!!
Currently I play some arcade games.
There's an annoying guy...he's an astounding cheater.
What's the point of playing online games if you cheat, dumbass.

I can be the board leader in only about 3 days.
I didn't sleep, I didn't eat, I didn't shit. Lawl, I'm exaggerating.
Whatever who cares, the point is I devoted myself only to play arcade games for 3 days.
I hate hate hate cheater, there's no way he can get that score if he doesn't cheat.

Okie fine, you cheat to be the best, roite?
Omg, but do you really like to be the best by cheating?
You must be a very dumbass and have low self esteem, that's why you cheat.
The more you cheat, the more you lower your self-respect.
I consider cheating is somewhat similar with stealing and lying.

How pathetic, because you can't win with the right way, you use the easy way out by cheating.
Heh

 

[NinjaSurfer]

Maybe he has a good reason to cheat?
this is maybe the only thing he's got going for him in his life
don't take it away from him

 

[catatonic]

heh, why not?
he has to accept the fact that there are many peoples better than him.
he should try to do the best without cheating.

 

[Fukyo]

Because they love to win.

Cheating = winning, but it also = the risk of being caught. Double thrills = more fun for everyone. Perhaps best to adopt a more enlightened view...it's only a game, after all.

It takes skill to successfully cheat. Seasoned cheaters consider this part of mastering the game, and probably put as much time and effort into honing their skills as you do. Hence, cheat or no, if you're losing to him, he's better...in some way, he's doing something more efficiently than you are. If you want to win, you need to find a way to circumvent his system, or better yet, exploit it to your own advantage (or his detriment, or both). There's always a way to make someone trip over their own two feet. Find it.

the guy must not be a very good cheater if he got caught

he doesn't deserve my times.

I wouldn't be so quick to cry foul, back in the days of Halo 2 I used to play online and yes there were some hackers and I would often join the chorus of accusation when my team lost in what seemed to be an impossible fight against players who we assumed must being using auto targeting or something, though they insisted their innocence.

Months later when I was better at the game I found myself being accused of cheating and it was my turn to insist my innocence in vain, and I really was innocent, after months of practice I had developed an almost inhuman ability to make headshots.

having score 2 x 10^23 in a game when the other highscore is only 6000...
that's quite explain.
unless he played the game for a month without break..not even a minute.

so you're saying he's either a cheater or a loser?

that's not nice.

 

[RedN]

some 'players' aint actually just one person. it can be one account being played by a group of people who take turns. as to why, some people just dont have a life or any manner of achievements in life and this is .... i don tknow

if its a cheater, does it matter? the winner is the winner. we use what we have to win. if anything, its a good lesson to learn in life. the cheater is out there laughing at the faces of the losers who are crying foul... like you now, that is why?

 

[catatonic]

ne, i'm not crying foul.
i just want to vent.

this is so sad if many peoples think that win by cheating is good.
this is so sad if many peoples think that lying and stealing is good.
who knows if eventually many peoples will think that killing and raping are good.
i feel sorry for the police officers because they will lose their jobs.

[Jennywocky]

I'm confused -- what is he doing that you are considering to be "cheating"?

 

[TriflinThomas]

If you can cheat and get away with it, then be my guest. I don't have a problem with cheaters because I usually find that I would do the same if I was in the same position.

 

[Sanctum]

Exactly if I could cheat and get away with it I would. Cheating = Success with minimal effort and I'm all for that. And I'm sure, contrary to what you said, you actually get quite a bit of satisfaction from cheating a game like that. The ability to cheat something like that requires some skill in itself and perhaps he prefers to display the skill he has for that instead of his skill of the game.

 

[Thurlor]

I notice that most people who are okay with cheating either cheat themselves or would if they could get away with it.

However, cheating is not winning. It is changing the rules of the game so as you can win. For example, in a running race a cheat would get in a car a drive to the finish line. Sure, he crossed that line first, though he did not win as the aim of the race was to determine who could run the fastest as opposed to who could cross the finish line first.

Ye, I do 100% agree with you.
Omg I'm happy that finally there's someone who thinks that cheating is bad.


Cheating is lying and I considered it the same with stealing.

All you're saying is that running fastest has nothing to do with winning. So what's the point of being the fastest runner, eh?

Regardless, your theory is unrealistic. A cheater would most likely use steroids to gain the advantage.

When rewards are pinned on winning, even if nothing more than bragging rights, cheating is an inevitable consequence. It's like cops and robbers. The robbers steal for the quick buck, and the cops lie, threaten, and rob the robbers for the quick confession. We are an instinctually competitive species...Cheating is part of life.

*Note to OP: 'people' is always plural. It has no singular form. Thus, no final 's' is required.

OMG thanks for the grammar correction.
English is not my first language, but I can't edit the thread's title now.

What I'm saying is that cheating is always trying to bypass the criterion of winning, thus you are not actually winning just seeming to win. A difference between reality and opinion.

Cheating may be part of life. However it is neither enviable nor desirable. It's the same as 'life isn't fair', which doesn't mean we should strive to be unfair.

 

[catatonic]

When everyone is cheating, the rules mean nothing and we maybe come back to the prehistory era where there was only mob rule.

I have a friend, she is an elementary school teacher.
She said that she's so sad every time she caught some of her students cheated, she feels that she's failed as a teacher.

The essence of the school should be about getting the knowledge, not to get the A's.


Maybe that's why there are many scholars being unemployed although they graduated with summa cumlaude. Because many big companies prefer employees with real and legit skills, not the GPA.

 

[Hadoblado]

I think time would be better spent thinking of ways to stop cheaters, rather than simply complaining about them.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Applies to real life also:
There are 'follow the crowd' cheaters who adapt to the environment.
There are antisocial cheaters who disregard rules and customs because they don't care.
There are desperate cheaters who want leverage.
There are Machiavellian cheaters who like to win at all costs.
There are curious cheaters who want to explore the exploits.
There are aimless cheaters who just want to have fun.

And then there are people who are just that good.

 

[BigApplePi]

There are philosophical cheaters who believe the end always justifies the means.

 

[Thurlor]

There are philosophical cheaters who believe the end always justifies the means.

The end nearly always justifies the means if your intention was good.

 

[BigApplePi]

The end nearly always justifies the means if your intention was good.

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

 

[Thurlor]

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

How did I know that someone would come up with that?


Even if Hell were real it does not negate the fact that intention is the important issue.

I have never understood why there is a lesser punishment for attempted murder as opposed to murder. Not only were they willing to murder but they failed at their task and so deserve an even greater punishment.

Practical cheaters?
