Why hack?

[Valyr 2]

I've started playing Dayz again recently after a long break, and the past 4/5 times I've been killed it's been from hacks. Now I was aware that this was a problem going in, but I had no idea it was this bad. That's not why I started this thread though. I wanted to know if anyone had a clue about why people hacked. Seriously, how can you get enjoyment out of ruining this game for others? What do you all think is the reason for this?

Play on well run private hives and hackers won't be an issue for you.

I guess that's what I'll have to do, but I just don't understand how people could enjoy doing this.

It's for the shear enjoyment of greaving other players and getting some kind of twisted satisfaction in doing so. One would think it's mostly children but who knows, even adults have a twisted mentality and enjoy the giggle factor of ruining someone else's game. They are a bane to Admins and players alike, unfortunately. *sigh*

Some people just want to watch the world burn. I just want to watch some people burn as the world watches.

Cause these are the people that no-one likes and have been socialy excluded and shunned by the public they are the weakest form of life on the planet. So they feel vilified when they spend Mummy's hard earnt money in the $2.00 bin of hacks, So if you hack remember you are not worth the sweat on my Balls

Its usually to do with them feeling powerful, I saw in another thread that most games carebear you into giving you cool stuff so you feel like a god.

This game makes you feel weak until you get your hands on something worth defending, all those times you get sniped as a new player and this pent up rage causes people to hack to give themselves the power to destroy at a mouse click.

But put one of these guys in a real life situation and they will be crying and begging for their life

I believe it relates to the lack of balls that have dropped.

Extreme lack of skill or unethical trolls.

All of the hackers, I've encounter are terrible players. They are a terrible shots. I often kill them if they forgot to on godmode.

The only ones that get me are the ones with godmode or spraying with a MK48 Mod 0.

Don't flatter them, they are nothing close to hackers.

QFT. Hackers are the business-sensible, educated people that make big bucks off the tryhards who get a kick out of this stuff.

Script kiddies on the other hand are children at their computers that press a button and take money off their parents' paypal to be the "best,"

Hacker is too good a name for them, they are certainly not hackers.
