Why Exploiting Is Okay, Glitching Is Not

[GTASuspectOnFoot]

Rockstar designed and included:

- "Replay" option (even for spectators)

- "R2" replay option

 

It does not matter if Rockstar did not want us to use these features...it is up to them to remove them from the game.

 

Glitching is fundamentally different and worse than exploiting, because it is using an error in the game code...not a designed feature in the game

 

Rockstar never designed or included the Los Santos Customs infinite car sale glitch...they did design and include the "R2" replay feature.

Hey look, it's this thread again.

 

If you had used the search function, you would have found at least a dozen topics about this exact same thing.

[GTASuspectOnFoot]

Correct, none of which would have resulted in MY post being read and responded to as much as this topic.

[T4KShadow]

That's it, try and persuade yourself what you did was ok.

 

We know the truth.

How is using a designed and implemented feature an exploit?

 

Thats like saying I exploited the game when my car blows up and I steal another one.

 

Wouldnt glitching = exploiting?

[GTASuspectOnFoot]

Glitching is always exploiting.

 

Exploiting can be acceptable, or glitching.

Wait, what? Thats not what you said above. In fact, it is the opposite. I am seriously confused.

[Musician020]

Do you even know what exploiting means?

[GTASuspectOnFoot]

What is so difficult to understand?

 

Exploiting a PURPOSELY DESIGNED FEATURE that was included in the game is fine.

 

Exploiting a glitch is not.

I don't understand any retard who thinks glitching is acceptable.

 

As OP says, it wasn't suppose to be in the game.

 

They think they will get away with it just because nothing has been done. Well Red Dead bans took awhile too but they did happen. Same here, they have other priorities like fixing the cloud issues and other bugs. But eventually the glitchers will at the very least be put in bad sport lobbies or character deleted or accounts banned. It happened in RDR and will happen on this.

How can you exploit a PURPOSELY DESIGNED FEATURE that was included in the game? It is not exploiting it if it was intended. It is just called "playing." I know, I know... weird concept this "playing" is.

(I have caps to dude, doesnt get your point across any better, proof is when you reply)

 

So using features as they are intended is an exploit? That would mean everyone playing any game in existence is only exploiting.

Glitches aren't always on purpose. Exploiting a glitch and glitching are two seperate things. Every game will have glitches. It's the exploiting that is wrong.

In case you haven't been on these forums, the terminology used to describe using the "replay" and "R2" feature has been EXPLOIT.

 

I agree with you, it is just playing the game. But to explain my point, I have to use the terms of those who disagree with us.

Ah... ok... I see what you are saying now. My apologies then good sir.
