Hello all,
This will be my first ever semi rant on the forums, but its a topic that I feel should be discussed... Accusations of cheating, especially in pvp.
Now let me start with saying this, I play the Enhanced Client 100% of the time unless I am stocking vendors. Everything I do is in the EC. Your standard "scripts" people speak of do not work with the Enhanced Client. the Enhance Client offers ways for you to modify your client, but that is legal! Now I will also say, I do not modify my client because.. well.. I'm just not that smart. lol. I have a basic twitch account with a you-tube account where I post some of my pvp and or pvm videos. For future reference (since my videos are part of my discussion), you can find my videos here.... https://www.youtube.com/user/Pebbles8382/videos
Now what is the point of me saying all this? Well I am accused of cheating DAILY in pvp. Anytime I kill someone the cheat comments flood chat. "You ain't crap without your illegal programs!" "You ain't nothing but a pathetic cheater" "I know a cheater when I see one, and no one can play like you without cheats". Do these comments bother me? Not really. But it does make me think... wow what has our game come to? If anyone is decent, or even semi decent at anything they do they are automatically cheaters. Now let me give another example..
Just yesterday I was pvping. I killed a few people and the cheat comments started rolling. So I say.. "I Play 100% legit in the enhanced client, please check out my you tube and twitch account for verification." So the person responds. "I already watched your videos, and your cure macro is like no one elses, and so and so told me that you can still cheat with the enhanced client" Uhmmmmm ok? So this is why I posted my youtube channel above, so maybe someone else can confirm that this is true? Let me dab on this a little.. My cure macro is a basic hotbar macro that chugs a cure when I hit 0. And as far as cheating in the enhanced client.. as previously stated, you can modify your client if you choose, but it is legal and the client is designed for that purpose. Regardless.. I still haven't done that. I only use a mod to allows me to run UOcartographer.
So my purpose of all this.. Honestly what the heck is our community coming to? Why does it always go to the cheater accusations, even in the face of proof otherwise? Why can't someone just know how to play? So many times I hear that cheaters ruin the game.. honestly I'm beginning to think mass paranoia is ruining this game. I won't deny that there are real cheaters, but come on. I think its just going a little too far.
So what can we do as a community to change this negativity? I'm interested in your thoughts. =)
