If you are on a test server, then it is kind of your obligation to take advantage of a bug as much as you can. In fact, you should probably see if there is more than one way to take advantage of the bug. And the absolute best time to exploit those bugs is during this testing period, but there is a major caveat: report those bugs as soon as you see them. Exploit bugs, then give feedbackĮxploiting bugs is another form of cheating that I endorse - to a point. This doesn’t work with just armor, but it also works for future storylines and class designs, too.
Not only does it advertise for the game for free, but it also gives instant feedback regarding the new designs.
This actually works to the developer’s advantage if it is paying attention. World of Warcraft fans love it when MMO Champion digs into the client files to find the new armor models. In fact, I usually like to encourage datamining when it’s in the context of finding tidbits about the future of the game. But because most datamining is benign, I don’t have any real issue with datamining. Players who unpack the client, find out things about the underlying structure of the game that could give them an unfair advantage over the other players. Most people don’t call datamining - or client unpacking - a cheat, but it really is. But when I say that I think more people need to try to cheat, doesn’t mean that I believe they should be using third party programs to do that - except in one very specific example. However, these issues could be lessened if the developers would fix them. There is not one online game that doesn’t suffer from speed hacks, wallhacks, or people taking advantage of lag issues. I think the first thing that I should make clear is that cheating will exist whether you do it or someone else does. I will give you examples, and perhaps this will help clarify what I mean. And the community will actually suffer in the long run. If you play by the rules all the time, then the game you’re playing will never become what it should be. However, I’m here to tell you that cheating is part of the game. Grade-school morality says that if you cheat you’re a bad person. Many people will read this and believe that I am condoning hacking and other kinds of cheats, but that’s not what I mean.
I am going to catch a lot of flack from people who read this. And, believe it or not, one of the best ways for games to become better is for players to cheat. That means the consumers win and so do the developers. When the online game is the best that it can be, and players continue to play and have an extremely good time doing so.
