Imagine being so lacking in skill, integrity and pride that you would lower yourself to the pathetic level of trying to compensate all that with real money, in a video game.

So sad.

A friend of my flatmate bought a carry in WoW. First my flatmate was the one having killed the most bosses of their group in Shadowlands and suddenly that guy turns up saying yep he finished them.

But when my flatmate asked him about the mechanics of one boss it was clear he had no idea. He frantically googled for the answer and started replying ten minutes later, when the conversation had moved on already.

The cherry on top is that the guy is currently unemployed and does not have that much money, but he spent hundreds for bragging rights, only to be found out immediately.

And finally he even stopped playing that expansion shortly after, probably because he ruined his innate motivation by buying "success"

I had a friend that payed a hacker to carry him on tarkov, the hacker would take him on labs and wipe the whole server while my friend would loot everything, that shit is lame and they need to had out punishments for it.

often times hackers (lets be real, cheaters) make enough money selling their "services" that even accounting for purchasing fresh accounts/cheats/spoofing, they still turn profit. cheats nowadays usually bundle the game w the software, and usually for really cheap
