johnnylamerton (DayZ) 2 Posted July 25, 2012 Try not to give these douchebags more credit than they deserve. Hackers are much more powerful. Most of them are using other peoples scripts since they don't have the capacity to write their own. Either way, they're taking away from the game. I'd be surprised if they don't ruin the game completely. I guess that wouldn't leave anyone for them to annoy in the end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimlok (DayZ) 134 Posted July 25, 2012 People who buy hacks for any video game are script kiddies. Its not like the hundreds of people who buy them are coders. Its just stating the obvious here. The term hacker is still appropriate. So it honestly does not matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zymi 64 Posted July 25, 2012 Don't talk up hackers either. They're both douchebags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klu 20 Posted July 25, 2012 I respect an actual hacker who uses his skill to further his knowledge. When they get malicious they cross a line. That's a very real line within their community.The person who wrote the code that everyone is using... I'd call that person more of a hacker. However, I'm very careful where I use the term "hacker", PURELY out of the respect for the kinds of knowledge it takes to be extremely successful in penetrating various securities.I'd put money on not a SINGLE one of these scripting 12 year-olds actually knowing anything about anything. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Z 51 Posted July 25, 2012 How is calling them "hackers" giving them credit? They are both douchebags who ruin the game. Same thing to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wok 25 Posted July 25, 2012 Whatever name you call them, they are fucking up the game. And lot of those "script kiddies" started cheating the game just because they are tired of others fucking up their game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s.taylor.75@gmail.com 23 Posted July 25, 2012 Who cares what ya call em? Neither one is anything I'd aspire to be. Why people think "hackers" are somehow intelligent or something is beyond me. There's not much in this life that can't be easily learned by anybody if given enough time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) We can argue semantics, but in the video game "world" the term has come to be associated with being a cheater. Edited July 25, 2012 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klu 20 Posted July 25, 2012 Who cares what ya call em? Neither one is anything I'd aspire to be. Why people think "hackers" are somehow intelligent or something is beyond me. There's not much in this life that can't be easily learned by anybody if given enough time.Hackers are intelligent. Intelligence is a prerequisite to hacking.What people do with this game isn't hacking, nor is it intelligent. In 1997 I was able to send trojans to my fellow middle-schoolers and ruin their lives. They called me a hacker. I knew I wasn't. In 1997 I downloaded a "Map Hack" for Starcraft and was called a hacker. I knew I wasn't.This experiment, which most choose to call a "game", has exploits like every other piece of software ever created. Someone created software/coding to take advantage of those security exploits, these lapses in coding.You don't honestly think every moron wielding an AK-47 knows how to build one? They just know to point it in a direction and pull a trigger.This is why it matters what we call people. If you think otherwise I'll chock that up to your own ignorance. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kibbles201@gmail.com 0 Posted July 25, 2012 people who write scripts are also script kiddies, they are not progamming they are using a high level language (easier to learn) to do it for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

random51 172 Posted July 25, 2012 What people call hackers nowadays aren't hackers, they're crackers. Unfortunately the popular media misused hacker to describe the black hats and now it is permanently etched into the lexicon of the ignorant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
