So someone asked me the other day why I don't speed hack and that i should since other players do.

I found it difficult to justify reasons not to. Other than the fact that I don't need to cheat to win, but i think players who don't use speedhacks should receive some sort of benefit since players who do speedhack don't get banned or anything. Perhaps we should receive more gold from insurance when we kill someone who is speed hacking, or players who don't use cheat programs can have an addition to their title?

Besides, if they could just somehow detect who wasn't speedhacking, that implies that they can also detect anyone who IS speedhacking... and wouldn't you much rather those folks end up somewhere... else?

I think the people who don't cheat get rewarded by not being banned for cheating.
you havent played the game in a while :/ certain 3rd party programs are pretty generally accepted now, and multiboxing has been all but deemed legal by mesanna (only actionable if un-attended, which by its nature is never unattended)

tho i dont agree with it, and personally dont use anything but the standard CC client, its a legitimate topic.

The reward to not cheating is a 3x personal satisfaction bonus that the cheaters don't get to enjoy. It's diluted for them. Strategy, teamwork and fully developed templates is the way to go, and when you beat them, they rage more than any other type of player. Observing them afterward in general chat is also an additional perk.

I dont think many people as we think speedhack.... I am always told I speed hack, and in fact I always outrun people on PvP. But I have never touched a speed hack software. I think my internet connection is just really good.

UO PVP rules.....
when you can beat them with superior numbers...
When you cant...call them a zerg and whine in gen chat
When you can ..cheat....
When you cant, accuse them of cheating their butts off and whine in gen chat...
Generally just whine in gen chat.....
