Mullling over the whole morality thing, some jerk ran a stop sign in front of me this morning. I had two choices - to brake and let them pass, or to pull in front of them and get hit. I had a few choice things to say as well.
Why would someone who broke the rules and got away with it in the big blue zone bug me? I suppose the consequences for his actions are quite a bit more concrete. Had I been less alert and proceeded when my turn at the 4-way came around, my care would be damaged and I might be hurt. This person also poses a genuine threat to others in the area. Children often ride bikes across this intersection.

Although i can see slight parallels in someone disobeying traffic laws and someone cheating a server, comparing the two is ridiculous. When driving a car i know that i can speed and the repercussions of which would be a ticket, we all know how a car and traffic laws work. Im sure a fair amount of the people that play here had no idea these hacks even existed (i didnt), and especially to the extent of what they can do. Now if i saw someone flying down the road going 400mph in a honda civic id prolly have some questions. THAT would be comparable to seeing a cleric on here tracking down mobs in SK, people clearly bending the rules of whats possible. I had no idea you could even use a tracking program, so where would i begin to ask?
Breaking the rules is one thing, using a 3rd party program to completely twist the physics of the world is a complete other crock of shit.
And using the traffic ticket scenario once more, i think these people caught cheating should be banned outright, just as the disclaimer in the rules states. If im caught running down a pedestrian, im gunna goto jail, regardless of how many other drivers are mowing down pedestrians with me at the time.
