Why do you think cheaters cheat

If all else reasons don't fit, then it's probably because they just want to watch the World (Of CF) Burn.

Hacking a gaming is fairly easy, it is called "cracking". Hacking in the real sense is breach the security system. I am not sure X-trap can be called a security system, and the so called hackers can't really breach CF servers' database, can they? Not much a group of hackers, just some programmers.

You don't know this now do you?
This game is fairly popular.I'm sure at one point it's been "hacked"

Most likely to troll kids.

Cuz they sound like my sister

1. New player that is getting annoyed/mad at the good players and wants revenge by walling them to troll them to make them feel better.
2.Got nothing better to do and love watching people get hell annoyed.
3.Raise there kill/death ratio, gain lots of exp, level up fast (if not kicked)

2. There are so many low skilled players that you can easily kill, why do you need to buy cheats.

3. you can always farm

First you can get your hands on alot of free cheats/cheats that require you to do survays(if your good at them you will have no trouble at it)

If they didnt patch farming tools they wouldnt be so much hackers

If i still cheated(i dont) why not? i loved seeing people rage..wanted to explore all different types of hacks to see what i could do in CF my fave: Flyhack(different to fly glitch ),masterghost,remote kill,opk,long knife..(always on alts but alts with my name on it) Main got banned at lt colonel 6th, made some more hacker freinds and we would hack togthere was a fun time though, it just lead to more bans/faster bans

1. I think some people are just curious to see what it's like since they see other people doing it all the time.

2. Some do it more subtly in order to seem "good" and to make a name for themselves.

These aren't the only reason they do it, I'm sure, but they popped into my head first.

Did they smoke too much pot or crack? I know this sounds like a rant but it is just my curiosity taken over.

1. The so called hacking is not hacking into the system, it's cheating on other players.

2. There are so many low skilled players that you can easily kill, why do you need to buy cheats.

3. If you need points, you can always farm if you don't have shame, still better than buying cheats.

4. If you want to win clan wars, win it so that you know you win honorably. What is the point if you can't improve your skills. If you have a 5.0 Kill per Death ratio by cheating but you will get slaughtered in a LAN party because you have no legitimate skills.

5. If you really want to be the best, practice a lot, and save the money to get a better pc and keyboard, mouse, faster internet connection.

If you know someone who is a hacker, ask that person why does he cheat.

Lowe self-esteem? Lack of parental love?

2. I don't think they need to buy it. According to Saidin or GM, lots of programmer did it for fun on some forum. For them, it is an achievement and wish others to use. So I guess they would release it for free.

I think there are a major problem in the internet. In real life, they need to be responsible for their behaviour, either through law or morality. In internet, there are no such restriction that can limit them.

Just imagine, if they found (or even by rumer) that when they hack, they are very unlikely to be kicked (this is the real situation, many vote kick on real hacker failed) or being reported (when players think report would not lead to a ban, somehow, many would think this way based on the forum posts) or not banned, the hacking would only bring them benefit. So the value system would make them choose cheats.

And there are some hardcore hackers, they know their previous account is banned, but they are still create new account and challenge this antihack system. At the beginning, it might be just a curious try, then it becomes a revenge to the ban, then at last it becomes a "hobby".

To totally remove this is hard, however, if hackers found that when they hack, they can not gain any fun (for example, players refused to respawn or they get kicked 1 or 2 minutes after they enter the room and get the account banned before they can finish any single game, i.e. keep being kicked before they get banned), the value system would change and they might stop it.

To achieve this, we need the whole player base to use the vote properly --- this might be even harder than ask hacker to stop hack.

The hope is, either the vote kick system is improved some way to make sure hacker are more likely to be kicked, or just wait the anti-hack system to patch all the possible injections. Both need some extra work. And the later one seems vulnerable. But in fact, I think Z8 prefers the latter solution.

Those who say they hack to have fun from people raging or because they are bored.If that's the case it's time to stop playing the game and going to find something better to do like socialise Which they mostlikely won't cause it seems playing a game for 4 to 18 hours a day (roughly speaking) is alot better than making friends and actually doing something constructive.

If you are totally p***** off at someone becaue they keep killing you or are frustrated that you can barely kill anyone and keep dying constantly,then it's time to turin off the game.Take a breather and relax doing something totally unrelated and when you have calmed down get back on.
You'll find that you'll be doing much better when you are not trying so hard and when you are calm and relaxed and are having fun

Cause they enjoy it.

Simple.

I've met a few hackers and asked them personally, they responded "Cross fire is so boring, we need to hack to actually have some fun in this game."

I thought seriously?! With all that this game has to offer? It would take me a year or two before i actually completed all the badge requirements. Not to mention obtaining ribbons and leveling-up.

I believe those who hack have taken this game for granted.

Talked to one once. Said he lost his high lvl acc and thought it was unfair. He said he was trying to get a high lvl again. I told him to farm instead lol.

They're either kids or people who like frustrating others.

Or just because they can.

Let's see, this is copied off another similar thread. It explains why people hack thoroughly.

4 reasons why people hack.

1: Want to win.
2: Want to have fun.
3: Wants revenge.
4: Thinks everyone else is.

First one is obvious.
Many hackers that want to win are unable to do for what ever reason (No skill, bad equipment, High ping, etc...). Because they can't win with what they got and for whatever reason can't simply go to another game, they resort to cheating. Reason why so many BRs cheat. There is no MMO host near their country so any MMO they play they will be at a massive disadvantage, so for many of them they have 3 choices.
1: Play and lose nearly all the time. (Not fun)
2: Play and resort to cheating to stand a chance. (Fun)
3: Don't play at all. (Not fun)

Second one is also obvious.
For the same reasons as 1. Losing isn't fun, and wining effortlessly depends on the person.
Some people have fun with easy games. And hacking makes the game a lot easier for many.
It can also change the game for the hacker, doing the same thing everyday gets repetitive.
Hacking is a way to spice it up for many.

Third one is a bit different from the first two.
Rather having fun be the base motive, the motive for this one is simply revenge.
Revenge against those that beat them easily, revenge against those that taunted them, revenge against those that are against them. They are simply hacking in order to **** other people off.

Fourth one is more a pear pressure thing.
Hackers are so common that many may start to believe that they need to hack to fit in.
Also many players DON'T understand how ping affects the game, so what is really lag looks like hacking to many high ping players. With the belief that everyone is hacking, its easier for them to resort to hacking too.

I wrote that months ago XD.
To bad the tread is closed so it can't be quoted :P.
