Just met a "friendly" hacker

[Anton17 97]

Here's one to warp your ethics. I was in Elektro playing on a private hive server (before we get into that debate, I started using them to get away from the hackers and this is the first time I've ever actually played a private hive with a hacker) and heard muchos explosions. Knew what was going down before I even got there, but the town seemed dead. I went into the red building opposite the school and lo-and-behold there's a camo suit in there. I honestly think this was legitimate as it was a residential area and the rest of the house had fresh loot. Mulling over my luck I headed over to the fire station hearing .50cal shots. I move on up towards the barn in hopes of arming myself and before I know it I hear a voice behind me and there's an unarmed guy in a ghillie suit, bleeding. My first question: "hacker?". I was typing and he was speaking over mic as though he was from the ghetto. He denied it at first and offered to "hook me up" or some such shit. He spawned and layed out weapons on the floor with tons of ammo. I politely declined saying I knew they were hacked in. Magically, poof, a guy appears out of his ass, in another ghillie suit and an AS50 (really makes me mad that my legitimate character on the public hives is suspect just for having that rifle). They're not shooting at me and offering me more weapons. I bandaged the bleeding guy (remembering a post that said hackers with godmode cannot bandage but regain health periodically). He tried to persuade me saying it was a private hive and not connected to the main database and I wouldn't get banned for it but I politely declined once more on principle. He said "well you a better man than me" as him and his friend started barrel-rolling to the sounds of a horn of a invisible car. I told them to have fun if they didn't shoot me in the back, He said he'd do no such thing.

15 minutes or so later my legs break and soon after the admin has restarted the server with only me, one other guy and the admin himself in (the 8 other players or so must have been suspect of hacking) and that was that. I can only assume they didn't kill me for kicks since I had camo clothing and was unarmed (a feat in itself) and probably looked like another hacker, but perhaps gained a little respect by declining to use hacked items.

Not condoning or supporting the actions at all, don't get confused, but it was ironic since I have spent two weeks trying to avoid hackers and being successful in doing so and when I finally run into one again, they offer to kit me out in end-game gear.

Truly the first time I've had a hacker act like that and I'm sure it will probably be the last.

Sounds like an interesting interaction :P

Glad you shared it. At least homedude isn't hacking on legit servers...

No such thing as an 'ethical hacker', 'good hacker' or any other such Robin Hood-self-justification-shit.

Hackers should be put in stocks and mocked for the immature little kids that they are, regardless of their physical age.

While I do agree, I simply thought the story would prove a little break from the fifty threads we get a day telling us about hackers we already know exist.

you should probably inform yourself wha the term hacker actually means, despite of what people who just play videogames all day use the word for.
