Global / [Unban Essay] Forgive me for something that can not be forgiven.
« on: August 23, 2012, 01:36:46 pm »Well, there are different individual approaches regarding the ways to achieve set goals. The ethical and right way is to perspire and to maintain perseverance in the competitive race. Yeah, but the other way is by adopting a short cut and following the immoral ways to reach a conclusive stage. The later one seems to be fruitful in short term gains. But the long terms effects of such cheating methods are extremely disastrous. All of us feel the temptation to cheat at some point in life. And sometimes we even do.
Is it not ironic that we, being more intelligent, must cheat in order to get what we want, while the less intelligent animals live honestly and in the process often get bullied by us?
But to their dismay, the aftermaths of cheating are far more harmful and long lasting than the individual might have calculated. Cheating might help you but it results in lowered self esteem of the cheater. As, his conscious would always keep reminding him that these scores are not real. He also looses the sense of accomplishment. The real joy and mirth of success is elusive to him and he only pretends to be happy...
"Once fell in the trap of unethical performance, individuals find it extremely hard to break the cycle!"
"In this modern world of ours, many people indulge in cheating to get what they want."
"Hard work might take a bit longer time to show the brightness but cheating fades the shine forever."
Every player, it seems, has her own definition of what specifically constitutes cheating in a particular video game. The conflicting opinions about the definition of cheating are a source of confusion for many players, contributing to the ethical ambiguities surrounding video game cheating. The differences between online and offline games also figures into our analysis of cheating, since offline cheating does not affect the game experience of other players.
What about hacking to make your attacks stronger against other players? Or what about just playing the game in a unique way that the game developer did not intend? How far is too far and where should the line be drawn? What is the significance of stretching the boundaries of games, as gamers often do? When does the experience stop being a game ... ?

Yes, I can only sit and wait and hope you can forgive me then.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
