Cheating ethics

[whathuh]

First off, Foxbat's program improves client side visual effects.  It does not give the user any game advantage other than better frame rates.

This is in a completely different realm than server side hacks like maphack.  You are using a program to gain information that the regular user is not able to take advantage of.

To be fair, I understand you are not trying to troll, but start a civilized discussion.  But please do be aware we've spoke on maphack multiple times, and at the end of the day no matter what is said, is our opinion as a community going to be changed on this.  Our personal opinions (more or less) reflect this policy.

Whether its killing a person, or stepping on a toe, both are inflicting pain; a hack is a hack, no matter how serverly it hacks.

Cheers,

Thanks for the input. I didnt think that this aspect of maphack had been addressed however. I also hadn't realized that maphack was a server side hack. I'd always thought it was just a program that unlocked a few map properties already available in the game.
