Hackers ruining GTAV the same way they did IV.

That's him! Scarface! He kept teleporting at one point 3 weeks or so ago... -.- spawning tanks, RPGs and sh*t..

I've been "victim" in the last 24 hours of gaining $2.5 billion. $500M from a person just GIVING it to me, Another $2B from a hacked bounty amount (that I wasn't aware of until I killed him). My worry is that my online game saves will be wiped by Rockstar (or being banned from online), through no fault of my own, but because I have illegitimate earnings.

 

 

...of course I've blown $15M already, but who would just let $2.5B sit in their pocket without a few airplanes and supercars awaiting them?

lmafao i love modding this game. level 1000 with over 40 billion.

^^Thanks for helping make everyone's online multiplayer experience a better one!

Hopefully R* can fix this. I hate the fact that the game is being ruined, but this will become something R* will learn from.

It is called HACKING.

[boxmonster]

Ok, let me try to make this clear. Modding is when people modify their game for personal use and keep it in singleplayer. Hacking is bringing said mods into online and getting an unfair advantage and or messing up other people's gameplay experience with them.

Nope. Both are modding, since they're both modifying the game. They are simply different types of mods.

 

But this is getting us away from the real issue, which is that these cheat mods are ruining GTA Online, or at the very least the freemode part of it.

[Lefteris]

I was originally going to write some long ass text but I just realised that there's not really any point. I'll just suggest that since you have no idea what a mod is (I'll suppose that you're a console player for now) if you don't want people getting mad at you for giving modders a bad name then you should refer to the act of players gaining an unfair advantage over others as 'cheating' since that's what you actually care about and not the way it was achieved with. I'm really having a hard time trying to understand why in hell you've all pulled your guns against mods since you so obviously don't know a thing on the subject. Also please note that hacking is not the same as cheating and therefore should not be used in its place. I'll also ask that you stop trying to be the uninformed offensive prophet(quote: I GUARANTEE you will see blah blah bullsh*t) that you're being.

TL;DR : JUST CALL IT CHEATING AND BE DONE WITH IT FOR F*CK'S SAKE.

The amount of stupidity in this thread is sickening.

 

modding offline = good (you have a choice in what is modded)

 

modding online = bad (you have no choice and the host changes the game for everybody without their input.)

 

This is what the OP is saying and I totally agree.

I think it's pretty derogatory towards modders that don't intend to mess with people online, that's like calling real-life hackers programmers.

It's not. There are good modders and there are bad modders. Both depend on the same pooling of knowledge, both depend on the same methods to achieve their separate ends.

[Crabby420]

 

I agree.

 

I was enjoying playing missions and earning my cash until two nights ago when someone gave me $94 mil.

 

Ok I could waste time blowing cash but I can't be ar$ed.

 

Cover your ass and report them both on the console and by email to R* support. Upload a screen shot of your bank account transaction log and picture of their gamer tag.

 

I also wouldn't bank/deposit the $94 million into your checking account until R* support closes your ticket. You technically aren't responsible for the cash until you deposit it into your bank account, so just keep the excess money on hand until R* says otherwise.

 

It's a pain in the ass, but if you didn't deposit the money, then you're going to have to keep track of how much you legitimately earned from missions/races etc and make frequent deposits from the free cash on hand into your account. That way if R* decides to zero the millions in cash you've got on hand, only this balance will be affected and not the money deposited in your checking account.

 

 

You aren't responsible for any cash you can't refuse to accept*

I GUARANTEE you will see at least several douchebags chime in to lecture everyone about how modders are great, and make your game experience better. They will also try to tell you how hackers and modders are NOT the same.

Hackers and modders are in fact not the same, though. Both are modifying game files, but there is a minor difference; modders are trying to give you a better game experience with their mods, whereas hackers are mostly doing the exact opposite. Though, that's a thing that might varies from platform to platform. On PC, for instance, it isn't really a problem if the player is using graphic mods as they do not alter the gameplay in any way. Anything that alters the gameplay can and should be counted as an unfair advantage over other players, which is turn is cheating, thus it's not allowed in multiplayer. I wouldn't classify modders and hackers/cheaters as the one and same group as it's just not fair, in my opinion.

To be honest, the line between modding and hacking is quite thin. Modding indeed is modifying the game files, but usually, to hack in a game, you need to modify the game files. 1+1=2?

 

 

The clear difference is what/how the modifications to the game files affects within the game itself.

A mod that changes the textures of the game is the same as someone hacking the memory to have unlimited health, money, ammo, etc?

 

Seriously, you people need to get your heads out of where the sun don't shine and enjoy some fresh air.

Both involve modifying the game, so in that respect they are both mods. The difference is that one is good (or at least harmless) and the other is bad.

Um...yeah, sorry but I don't share the same views as you, and probably never will. I don't consider hacks to be mods, and vice versa. Yes they both modify the game, but they both do different things to the game and therefore cannot be considered the same thing. Both a car and a plane have wheels, they are both used for transportation, and both require fuel to operate. They sound pretty similar, but are they the same thing? I'm pretty sure you would say no.

Maybe it's because the user base of the consoles are so immature that you feel that way.

I guess games that allow mods to be used online are considered bad?

Games (on PC of course) like L4D2, CS:S/GO, Garry's Mod, Killing Floor, Arma 2/3, Red Orchestra 2 (Rising Storm), Half Life 1/2, Minecraft, etc that allow online modding are bad?

 

Don't generalize modding when you've clearly not tried it for yourself. Modding ≠ hacking. Maybe on your expensive plastic box it is, but to a mature user base on a certain platform, it's quite the opposite.

 

Edit: Also, you don't HAVE to stay in that server (or whatever they call it on consoles) if you don't like the mods (hacks on consoles) that are being used. Instead of taking the initiative and finding a server that you like, you bitch and moan and make stupid posts like that one. Actually, this whole damn thread is stupid, and the OP is ignorant as hell.

They're both forms of transportation, as you admit. In the same way, new textures and godmode cheats can both be considered as mods, since they both involve modifying the game, as you yourself say.

Both hacks and mods modify the game, but do they do it in the SAME way? Do they both change the game in the same way that they can be considered synonymous with each other?

Does adding an HD texture pack to the game = god mode or infinite ammo?

Does adding a custom car or custom weapon skins = to shooting an infinite number of RPGs out of an SMG?

 

Honestly, what are you trying to prove here?

It's not working, because you're pulling "facts" out of thin air. Either you don't know what modding actually is, or you are truly ignorant to what it is and what it does.

So what you're saying is that Command and Conquer isn't a game because it's not exactly the same as Call of Duty (i.e. that things have to be synonymous with each other in order to be considered part of the same category)? I see why you're having trouble understanding my argument. Anyway, we're derailing the thread a bit.

You said that e.g. new textures and god mode could not be considered part of the same category ("mods") because they are not synonymous, that is, they are not the same or similar. Using that same logic, you would conclude that because Command and Conquer is a RTS and COD is an FPS, i.e. they are not the same or similar, they are therefore not part of the same category ("games").

Mods that allow people to instantly get in game assets or disable damage are usually called trainers.

They are for people who can't play the game for sh*t.

I got no problem with people cheating to get themselves ahead of the game, even if in this particular game it is the same as advertising how badly you suck at it but ruining other peoples games is not right and IMO those hackers deserve a kick in the face or three.

Holy f*ck you're stupid. I mean it; you literally have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you're talking about Online only, in which case, everything below is irrelevant.

 

68/?

 

These things don't improve the experience?

 

You literally do not know the difference between modding to help, and modding/hacking to be a douchebag. You are truly ignorant.

 

Guess what? If a company didn't want its game to be modded, it wouldn't allow it. Look at Just Cause 2's new MP mod. Is that not good? Is that not a beneficial thing?

 

 

TBH, I don't believe you and 73duster are on the same wavelength. Because based on their post, I suspect 73duster is a console gamer and has yet to play a single player PC title. So there's a good chance they didn't play Skyrim. Which means they most likely have absolutely no f*cking clue of what mods like USKP and other unofficial game patches did for the TES fan base and game overall.

 

Since Skyrim came out 2 years ago, I'm now convinced that the modding community SAVED Beth's ass in so many ways I've completely lost count. The amount of glitched code the Beth devs left in the vanilla game broke a lot of improtant side quests. And if it hadn't been for the modding community, Skyrim would've never made its $650+ million sales record----for a single player and not online game. It beat the crap out of BF3 in sales running backwards. On it's pinkies.

 

Anyhow, you forgot Frostfall, Water is Wet, Private Needs, Advanced Prostitution, Bathing Beauties Lounge Suite, IMCN, Real Wildlife Skyrim, Civil War Overhaul, Tundra Defense, Better Horses, Winter is Coming/Cloaks of Skyrim, Immersive Patrols & Armor. And a ton of other FREE, SUPERIOR fan boy created content in the form of entire new maps, quests, weapons and armor just to name a few of these at Nexus

I've just found out that the core problem is that GTA Online is infested with f*cking teenagers. I don't think hackers would be that much of a problem if they didn't had these mentally-ill packed hordes caring about them.

 

Sorry if anyone feels offended. Teenagers really suck and I can't help myself to hate them when they use goddamn speakers and I hear dat f*cking baby voice ruining my cool online session. So much hate.

 

I´m pretty sure 16 year olds don´t have a baby voice.

I only play GTA Online by myself or only with my best friend. By the way, i only play Online because it offers features you can't get in SP which sucks.

 

I work about 12 hours MON - FRI so you can imagine i don't feel like doing crappy mission where you get $1200 at max after killing 28 guys and getting shot 15 times... If a hacker gave me billions of dollars i would be happy then I can mod my cars and buy myself a new house and stuff, as i said i only play by myself or with my best friend.
