Do you think the majority of GMS (possibly MS in general) is legit? I am not only talking about hackers, If you broke the ToS in anyway shape or form. Going from Cursing, to scamming, to multiple accounts,to even hacked spawns. I ask this because, most maplers who are asked this, scream that they are diehard legits, But honestly on a rough estimate the majority of GMS (for example) is illegit.
State your thoughts on this or if it matters anymore because some of the ToS is broken like nothing. (Cursing/multiple accounts/hacked spawns). If you think it doesn't, I ask you this, What makes you different from hackers who also break apart of the ToS?
Are you a law-abiding citizen?
Have you ever jaywalked? "Tasted" an item that was in an open bin in a store? Cracked a sexist or racist joke?
If so, what makes you different from serial killers who also break the law?
Seriously, in Maple just as in the real world, there are degrees of ToS-breaking. There's a big difference between "abusing a glitch" in a way that harms no-one (such as using bugged FM portals to get from one town to another) and crashing whole channels, ruining everybody's game experience (nevermind the economy).
I think the most important thing is not to succumb to the "oh no, I've broken the ToS, now I'm a hopeless sinner, might as well go buy <cheat engine>" attitude.
Personally I lost my claim to sainthood about three years ago, when I would use the "spam-a-skill" glitch to avoid falling off Lower Ascent map. However, for the rest of my journey to 200, I haven't done anything worse. So I'm pretty ok with myself.
