I view cheaters as people who are terrible at the game.  To make up for it, they hack, cheat, glitch, etc to make themselves better, so they can brag to their 12 year old friends about their high k/d is.

You all take this game wayyy to seriously, calm down. It is a game after all, just take a deep breathe and let the people that cheat, cheat if they want. They are really only killing their own experience. It doesn't affect anyone at all... La dee da, they get to be 10th prestige before a lot of people, so? That doesn't show anything, its just a bunch of pixels showing off a 'fancy' title. No big deal IMO.

They just think its cool to be the bad boy.

But honestly look at what kind of real life they have. sooner or later when their freinds grow up and learn the people that do stuff like this will be few and far between with freinds.

At the school reunion they will meet their now succesful freinds who ask what the cheaters do for a living which is "hanging out playing Nintendo" and hoping that their new game they invented called BaseketBall will become popular.

And the ones that still do have freinds will all be hanging around with people just like them. They will be 30 years old and one day wonder how they are going to pay next months rent because they spent too much time partying with their other cheater freinds with blue fingers stocking shelves.

So much of their money has gone to smoking weed because "It should be legal" or "It practically is legal" because they read on the internet about how to get a doctors note.

Especially when they are now riding a ten speed since they cant afford the car payment when their monthly visit to the judge comes down to where the judge has had enough and throws a few fines at them to teach them a lesson.

Cheaters do wreck the game, but the sad part is IW cant and wont catch everyone simply there are too many cheaters.  For instance I have a friend on my list with over 50 days of XP, so I'm guessing maybe 10-20% of these proficiency glitchers will get banned...sad

So, If you were playing poker and someone was cheating and picking the cards they wanted from the deck, you would just say it was just a game?   You would also say that they are only ruining their experience?  Cheaters ruin everyones experience that has to play with them..  They are busy sitting in a corner and moab boosting, not playing the objective.  They are damage prof glitching so you get killed in 1 shot, where as it takes you 5 to kill them.  How can you say that they are only ruining their experience?
