Hacked Items

ok now for a real conclusion.

If a person has no prior knowledge of the orgin of an item that may have been created by a hacker the person is at no fault.

If a person does have knowledge of the origin of an item ie. created with packet editing, duped items or any ways of means not natural to the game as long as that person is not a hacker they that is also ok. (or somewhere in between being ok and not ok)

I do realize there are plenty of items on the market with unknown orgins that we more than like have gotten with no prior knowledge of those items.

Then there is temptation, desire, etc etc etc to make a character great by any means necessary.

I was trying to keep the topic strictly about the game but those examples about real life pirating, stealing cars and how one's real life is applicable to the game works also.

=[ But I also get the feeling that people are actually grateful towards hackers since it allows them to get certain items almost impossible to create then turn around and hate them for causing the chaos in game.

It's some sort of double standard of morale in-game, I got to admit; "Legits" hacking in secret, screaming out that hackers are the worst piece of pomegranate that exist and similar actions.

It's horrible, and I couldn't see any other way of ignoring it other than:
- Quit
- Play with friends

If you know it's a hacked item and they're giving it to you for cheap, buy it and NPC it.

I was about to post that. However, that wouldn't be completely right, either. That makes the hackers go on hacking, and that's what we'll try to avoid.
