Each of us who likes to play online games, sit on social networks and explore the Internet, has probably come across the term “cheater” more than once. Who is it, you asked yourself? In this article, we’ll just talk about this, we will understand what kind of people they are, what harm they are from, or how to join their ranks.
Cheater - who is it and where do they come from?
Let's get down to business immediately and see what’s what. It should be noted that a cheater is an ordinary person who uses special software or his own knowledge of a programmer for selfish purposes. Basically, they are engaged in dishonestly playing online games. This is necessary in order to always win, but prizes can be different, from in-game to real money. They are almost everywhere, in WOW, WOT, Dota, even cheaters in Warface. They should be distinguished from hackers, as their goals vary slightly. If some want to get someone else's account, then the second most often not. It is difficult to say exactly when the cheaters appeared. Most likely, when a person realized that you can win not only honestly, but also with the help of special programs that give a lot of gold, life to the character and other things. Also for their purposes are used the so-called "holes" in the game, that is, all sorts of bugs.
How to become a cheater and is it worth it?
We can say that every 3-4th gamer thought about this issue. Of course, cheating has its advantages, for example, everything is much easier for you, although it depends on which side to look at. This is due to the fact that most servers have good protection that allows you to calculate and ban forever dishonest players. Therefore, everyone tries to bypass the firewall, this is done using a proxy. In order to become a full-fledged cheater, you need not only special software, but also certain knowledge, as well as experience that will help you to implement what you want without any problems. A completely different question is whether to do this. You already know a little about what the cheater does. We have already figured out who this is, so I would like to say that it is better to play honestly. The same applies to the use of tricks in social networks. As practice shows, this will not lead to anything good. Of course, the decision is up to you.
What punishments are there for cheaters?
It would seem that the answer is extremely simple - ban. But this is not so simple. The fact is that it all depends on the complexity of the crime, so to speak. By the way, a ban is a kind of ban that does not allow a player to log into their account and, as a result, enjoy the gameplay. It comes in several forms. For example, lifelong or temporary. In most cases, the punishment of cheaters is life-long. On the one hand, this is correct, but on the other, not. For example, if something happened by chance, you found a bug in the game and used it without realizing it. In this case, the administration may reconsider its decision. For example, prohibit the game for 100 hours. Of course, the moderators of most servers take measures at their discretion, so it’s impossible to say unequivocally that the reader is "shining". The most severe is a lifetime ban by IP address, which prohibits any action on this server.
A bit about servers for cheaters
Let's see what it is and what it is for. Since cheaters are generally disliked, and on normal servers there is good protection, so they immediately get into the ban. Therefore, there are special places where all dishonest players get together and play for their pleasure. This, in fact, is the server for cheaters. Here you can play as much as you like with impunity, no lifelong bans and kicks. I would like to note that there are a variety of servers for cheaters for absolutely any online games. There are CS, WOW, WOT, Dota-2 and others. If you are an ordinary player, then it is better to play where there is a good firewall. So you will deprive yourself of a society of dishonest players and you will be able to fully enjoy the gameplay.
What software do cheaters use?
There are a lot of such programs, which, in principle, is not surprising, because they are in great demand. One such utility can bring quite a lot of money to its creator. You must have heard of a program called SpeedHack. It allows you to do a lot of interesting things in the game. For example, to run very fast, teleport to any point on the map, fly, become invulnerable, and so on. Of course, there are also programs for cheaters that allow you to get the right amount of resources, get the desired things, gold and much more. But there are utilities exclusively for computer games that do not require an Internet connection, among such Artmoney, CheMax and others. Every day there is more and more such software. Also, most cheaters use programs that allow you to track the movement of the enemy on the map, automatically shoot 100% accurately and so on. To prevent a dishonest gamer from being banned right away, he uses a proxy server that hides his real IP address. That, in principle, is all that relates specifically to this issue. Now let's talk a little bit about how to calculate and ban an intruder. This is relatively easy to do, and now you will understand why.
How to punish the offender
There are many ways to ban a cheater. In some games this cannot be done, however you can add a person to the blacklist, so you will never cross paths. This is a good way to do this with all cheaters. If we are talking specifically about your server, it is recommended to put protection. It is advisable to install a firewall licensed, the database of which is updated periodically. You can also use a program called Evil-Fucker or Game Destroyer, which allows you to break the game to the reader. The moderator also has the ability to ban a player using various kinds of programs that make the gameplay inaccurate. It should be noted that firewalls are being improved, therefore cheat programs are being improved. You can create a forum where active correspondence of players will be conducted. Here everyone can post a picture or video, which confirms the use of bugs, third-party programs, so we ban cheaters. As practice shows , this is one of the most effective ways that goes immediately after the firewall.
About violators in CS and Minecraft
These two games are played by millions of people. Of course, not everyone does it honestly, which many do not like. Let's see which cheat programs are used most often. If we talk about CS, then this is "Speedhack", allowing you to quickly move. Utilities are also used that always allow you to shoot the enemy in the head, see through walls, and so on. If you notice such a player, then you can block him, for this you need to get a certain number of votes, as a rule, this is far from a problem, and the cheater immediately flies out of the game. Although this happens with professional players who are mistaken for violators. As for Minecraft, cheaters are not uncommon here. But this applies to pirated servers. If you play and pay money for it, therefore, this is the official server, and the presence of cheaters is excluded by 95%. This is due to the fact that a good firewall is installed here, and who will pay for the game and violate the rules, risking being banned and losing an account and money.
It is good for everyone to know.
You have probably thought more than once that in an unfair way to get something, be it craft, weapons, clothes or money. But the thing is that if, for example, you get all this illegally, that is, the risk is that in a week all this will be taken away, and your account with all the characters for which you played more than one thousand hours will be deleted by the moderators . I would also like to say that there are some harmless programs that are almost impossible to calculate, especially if it is a pirate server. For example, these are utilities that allow you to view the entire map. In some cases, an anti-cheat is installed, which works as follows: if you decide to teleport to another point, then as soon as you do this, you will immediately be thrown back. The same applies to the speed of the character: if it is higher than permissible, then you will return to its original position. In this case, most likely, do not get a ban.
How good to play, but not to break?
It should be noted that each cheater pursues its own goal. But in most cases, this is the desire to constantly win. I would like to note that this does not work out even among the best players in the world, who also sometimes lose. That is why programs are often used to always win a round, match or fight. But the thing is that in this way any interest in the game process is lost, and this is a fact. Yes, you yourself already know a lot about what this is not good, and who likes it when you are called a cheater. Who is it, you ask yourself? This is an ordinary person, only he does not want to play or earn experience in an honest way. You can become a good player without using third-party programs, but you have to spend a lot of time, because everything comes with experience, and this is just the case.
Conclusion
And now I would like to summarize all of the above. After reading this article, you should have understood that it’s better to play fair. Take decisive action, because most players appreciate those servers where there are no different kinds of hackers and cheaters. Installation of a firewall will contribute to the fact that more and more people will come. Someone will still try to break the rules on your server, but isolated cases are easily tracked. To do this, you must have several good moderators who will ensure that the gameplay is respected. This will lead to the fact that even the most avid cheater will not come to you. Who can it be and where to look for a good helper? For example, on thematic forums, especially since today many people are looking for this kind of work. That's probably all that can be said about cheaters and their elimination.
