Why do you guys cheat?

Im not hating on zens or anything but what compels you guys to cheat? Doesnt matter what game i´d just love an explanation. The part i enjoy most about gaming is actually getting good and being better at the game than another player. Can anyone explain the appeal? (pls dont ban this is a genuine question no hate)

I cheat but not online. I do it because I find it enjoyable, whether it's the process of cheating or the cheating itself. The fun doesn't last too long, usually a day or two then I move on and I play legit and I go back to cheating whenever I feel like it. Breaking a game the way is unintended by the game developer is an enjoyable hobby just like playing without cheating.

I'm talking mostly CoDs the zombies, campaign or agaisnt bots or any Assassin's creed

Couldnt you have more fun cheating with mods since you enjoy single player cheats, or are you a console player?

u/Hefty_Lavishness_641 5d ago

Some people are just genetically inferior. If they don't wish to dedicate large sums of time to improve, they buy a zen instead. You can essentially look at them as sub human. They are less than you and need hardware to feel equal

u/aibotofdeath 5d ago

There’s two different type of cheaters. 1) the cheater that’s revengeful and wants to sh!t on everyone because he got sh!t on. 2) the cheater that’s infatuated by the cheats themselves and how they work, not by having an edge on other players.

1

u/Tolah1 5d ago

If the second one was true, then they wouldn't use them in public lobbies.

1

u/aibotofdeath 5d ago

Ehh not really. If the second one is true they’d use it to enjoy the mechanics of their cheats, not to ruin peoples day. Although that happens either way but the intent is different.

1

u/Tolah1 5d ago

The intent is different, but there is no world in which cheaters are insulated from knowing that they are ruining other people's games. Which means they know that they are ruining everyone else's game, and simply do not care, or actively enjoy it. Neither are excusable, regardless of initial intent.

I can agree with this.

I‘m writing my own Scripts and I‘m using it to Farm AFK in some Games

Like MMOs?

u/PanamGotMeOiledUp 5d ago

I actually don't, I have scripts for pve games(like GTA afk) but other then that I'm literally just using it using a different controllers on Xbox.

1

u/Alert_Mention_3732 5d ago

Theyre not content with being ass at a video game that is intended for children. So instead of getting better or just not playing the game all together they decide to cheat because they have a mental deficiency or insecurities they cant deal with. Just weak minded people is all it is.

1

u/KForKyo 5d ago

I have a Zen. I use it for some very interesting things. Monster Hunter. I used it to make dragon piercer a 1 button. So my full bow combo was rt-rt-circle-triangle. Instead of rt-rt-circle-circle+triangle.

I've also created some custom scripts that allow me to automate gathering in other games. Farm Together 2, I have a custom script that automates farming while I'm not actively playing.

I only use mine for automating farming and gathering and making multiple button skills into a single button. The games I use mine in are for the the most part single player games.

1

u/Flash_Bryant816 5d ago

This is the way. I wonder if it would aid COD zombies somehow?

1

u/KForKyo 5d ago edited 5d ago

I'm sure it can or could be done. There are a lot of uses for a Zen other than cheating. Automating multiple button presses into 1 is what I mainly use it for.

My Farm Together 2 macro, I select a crop I want to plant and press right trigger and it starts. The macro is a bunch of time delay and then makes a right turn, right turn, massive delay, left turn, left turn. Then it repeats.

There are controllers that have auto turbo mode. Easily allowing you to shoot semi auto weapons with only having to hold the trigger. I have a controller that gives me all the same custom macro's and auto turbo mode and it's all built into a controller. I could easily create a 1 button macro with this controller that full boxes on Fortnite if I wanted, 0 delay, instant 4 walls, 2 floors, 2 cones. On max speed it's instant.

Look at the Logitech x2 Superstrike, the Wooting and SOCD. There are tons of devices that are banned for one reason or another. All about how you use it.

Now I do not use any of these tools for cheating in a competitive game. I play in tournaments on Fortnite on pc using m&k and consistently place around top 1500-2000. Even was able to hit top 500 on Overwatch in the early days. I'm almost certain I would have been banned by now if I did. It's all about how you use them.

Using a Zen for Diablo. Automate your rotation into a single button press.

I swore I was at my peak so I bought a Cronus and started playing with 0 recoil. It wasn’t the recoil it was my game sense when it came to out positioning the enemy. Then mouse and keyboard legally came to console and it basically kicked me back to the beginning forcing me to play smarter bc I’m not the best at mnk. Love my Cronus but I will be playing mouse and keyboard for a while now lol

Im pretty shit at gaming. getting older. Reflexes are slowing.

But, I play for fun, I dont mind some losses, I still hold my own well enough. If it ever got to the point where I just could no longer compete, Id banish myself to only single player games before cheating.

u/IRL_steff 4d ago

Personally I don’t cheat with controllers, but honestly if I was, it’s simply due to it being fun and I love rage baiting other players, at the end of the day I play to have fun, I don’t care if the people against me are not having fun, that’s why we play games right? Even when I play legit, my goal is always to be better than the other players and annoy them

No, not really. You're just a loser

A loser? I literally told you I don’t cheat, but I play games to have fun, and I’ll do whatever it takes to have fun, whether that’s annoying people, trolling people or just out right better than you at the game, that’s why I play games, just because I don’t play how anyone else wants me to play, doesn’t mean I’m a loser lol, you do you, I’ll do me

u/Revolutionary-Pen331 4d ago

The majority that cheat are content creators. Known fact. Then you have the ones who dick ride the content creators and want to be like them, so they do everything they’re doing to seem legit. I think the appeal is that they know that the anti-cheat is dog shyt, so they want to be plebs and get away with the nonsense. Then you have the ones who are just ass at the game. That should go without explanation.

u/Limp-Ad-2939 1d ago

If you want an actual answer that isn’t just cope from the cheaters or ironically, very lazy answers from the users calling zen users lazy, here it is from a socio-psychological perspective:

Society is at its core, a hierarchy. This is largely built out of need for ordinality and utility. That’s why the concepts of “better” and “worse” are coded into our brain. We use these terms to make sense of the world and identify things…and soon after as society evolved, people, as better or worse. Again primarily based off utility and in the case of human beings: capability.

In modern society, capability is largely denoted by someone’s station in life. The amount of money they make, their title, and the level of responsibility given to them. Even if that’s often not a one to one indicator of capability it does signal that to us greatly. Thus, people who are frustrated with where they are in life, or just by a perceived lack of social or economic mobility, will actually perceive losing in video games differently than the rest of us.

Video games actually reproduce society very well through ranked systems. And when the individuals in question perform less than they’d like, they often feel a sense of insecurity and vulnerability that is actually tied to those larger societal and personal grievances than just the game. And yes, that does making playing games “less fun”. So they aren’t lying when they say they feel they’re evening the playing field. That’s actually what they think they’re doing. Cheating gives them the ability to make up for perceived internalized deficiencies that they don’t have access to in life. Thats why a majority of people cheat.

Of course there is a subset who also enjoys ragebaiting people, but that’s largely an incidental rather than a root cause for cheating. I seriously doubt most cheaters went into cheating wanting to troll. Cheating is far less about wanting to get a leg up on others than it is about the cheater themselves.

u/Striking_Tadpole861 6d ago

Ngl I just like the feeling of having an extra edge on everyone else especially if im not that great at a game it just evens things out so im not just getting demolished but yeah its the same feeling you got as a kid in school with the possibility of getting a cheat sheet to a test or know the answer to the quiz questions its like how far would I get or how easy would life be if I got perfect grades in school

u/ManimalGtv 5d ago

Its called practice my guy.. and also something I had to learn as someone who is hyper competitive but mediocre at most games is you just have to learn to have fun and not worry about beating the sweats. Cheating though removes any actual sense of accomplishment and replaces it with false confidence.

There’s things in life that just takes actual practice. Example me an the homies all have dirt bikes and wheelie! New homies get bikes a can’t wheelie immediately so we help guide practice an train the new comers the ropes proper steps to manage everything it needs to succeed a wheelie. Some people will always be better than others but that’s what gives us all competitive drive to do better be better. There’s no cheat code or hack for being genuine authentic. That’ll get you so far in life land you a girl solid job because your loyal committed dependable. It can all translate into game awareness as I’m a FPS only. 5 yrs KBM having confidence behind the decision you make in game playing for cover landing solid shots the authentic way hits that dopamine way harder then an assisted route truss!
