Some of us spend tens of thousands on this game. Even those who don’t spend, put a lot of time into this game. CG/EA shouldn’t be hiding from this. We need transparency and action. Not draconic measures.

    It’s too late for that. Players in top guilds are already doing it in TW. CG needs to be exposed so they finally do something about this.

    I guarantee hundreds, maybe thousands of ppl who never even thought about cheating are now aware of the possibility because of the vids

    I know now its possible.. and I wont do it. I just end all cash until I am 100% confirmed this gets fixed. Hiding info isnt fixing it

    Maybe I'm worried about terrorism...should the Gov't tell us everything they're doing, and share that info with the enemy?

    It's not always easy to be transparent. And if they were it would most likely hurt you and me much more than cheaters.

    While possible and perhaps probable, as Admiral Ossel said shortly before being choked to death, "I need proof, not leads". This sort of supposition goes against the spirit of collegiality and competition.
    "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen...mostly"
  • Because they would rather not have more players learning how to cheat or that it was even possible.

    Did you really just compare terrorism and the methods of combating it to cheating in a video game?

    I compared 2 examples where it's not beneficial to be transparent, yes.

    Your point?

    True. Don't see how that's relevant to the conversation, though.
  • Bulldog put an audio only video explaining his experience on cheating and not get caught for 2 months, nice way to raise awareness without actually showing the whole cheating thing.

    They are so wildly different, it's like saying you can eat a basketball because you can eat an orange and both are the same color.

    Well your argument is “in the best interest” one may cause wide spread actual harmful effects/affects if provided. The other does not because it’s a GAME. So the best interest when making a purchase in a GAME. Is to have all the information provided since it’s a luxury good. Not a decision that deals with lives.

    Yeah, I had the same reaction when you came out with your ridiculous analogy as well.

    The impact of the negative effects is irrelevant.

    It is an example where being transparent does more harm than good.

    Try your argument on ppl who have invested thousands of dollars in this game.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PWtrh34kdI

    This happened after EA copyright striked his original video.

    Also in McMole's video he neither mentions where to get the cheat, nor shows the cheat's name, nor shows the actual cheat, just footage from BD. So saying "more people would start using it after watching the videos" is simply wrong.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    Don't get me wrong, I actually appreciate what you did, and for bringing this issue to fore front.

    I'm only explaining why I can understand as business they would want the vids taken down.

    I hope reasonable discussion continues.

    I have no problem with anyone who disagrees with my opinion that this needs to be exposed. It’s a reasonable view to believe this will increase cheating and hurt the game. I personally think you’d be crazy to cheat now, because CG is going to crack down as much as they possibly can. We will just have to see.

    Well gee, as long as you won't do it, we're all safe!

    It doesn't matter that he didn't lay out the breadcrumbs, people who learn about the possibility from the video will be able to find it themselves.

    I hope you're right! I do think we'll be better off in the long run because of your vid.

    People learned as soon as BD's video hit youtube. It's all over the forums, what more is there to hide?

    Terrorism and cheating isnt the same my friend, 1 puts lives in danger other gives unfair advantage to people with out talent
