Fact remains, there are those who use these things, there are those who dont. From cRPG they are not included and while the Heirloom pact has teh work of an artist behind, who creates nice peaces of art, i couldn't make that distinction for either of the here mentioned modifications(cheats).
Also from a 'common sense' approach, the heirloom pact has a chance to get included officially into cRPG as it enriches the mod with as already mentioend work of art, while i would hardly come to believe 'pink arrows' or 'transparent walls' would give the mod a higher immersion or better game experience.
better != easier
How about any modifications, needs to be signed by the devs? First you would need to ask them, get their permission, then start creating the modification, when ready publicly posting them for all and then being signed by the devs. That all as a form of process how to get modifications not outlawed as cheats, but integrated in the community.
Still to the matter what had been posted here i refer to my first post, if you argue that making things easier for you, while others very likely haven't got the same advantage, is not cheating, then you are wrong. And yet again, even needing to tell people this, is more parental work as i had in mind in the first place.
Severity of the different types of modifications, wtf i am not hear to hold judgment over some dipshits indirectly ruining my game experience. You want to give them a free pass, because a 'pink arrow' is less sever then a transparent wall texture? Fuck that shit, in both cases it makes things easier, same crime. To some extent i can see that having the original meshes for arrows and bolts or bigger once for those of us who may have a bit of problem with eyesight is rectifyable, then again just dont play fucking ranged cunts in the first place where as in the real world if you havent got the eyesight of a hawk you are not worth jack shit. I dont always see the ranged targeting me, guess what i get shot a lot, as any infantry. You think with less ranged there also wouldnt be a need for these specialised cheating mods and ranged wouldnt be such big of a problem as it is now, but well i was told to deal with it, therefor i report every ranged teamhit and teamkill as a contribution to class balancing, sofar i can say at least from my own teams, i get shot a lot less
In any case, get them identified and ban those cheating cunts, perhaps that even helps regualting ranged number counts on eu servers, i wouldnt mind loosing those bad apples.
at all!
If you want to be fair about it, consider the time since we started the discussion here, a fair warning and if you havent yet removed that shit, it is on you!
