Re: WANTED: Anonymous cheaters

Honestly @evilhippee this kind of thread isn't going to go anywhere good and will likely end up just being name and shame so with that in mind I'm going to lock it rather than wait for what may be.

I think a conversation around why people cheat is interesting, there are a number of studies on why people cheat, though largely focused on relationships but from those we can take a few of the reasons that can be relevant to gaming, these are: anger, lack of love, low commitment, esteem, situation, and neglect.

In some cases it can just be pure boredom and not caring. In gaming, with much less research into the why, the following reasons appear to pop up in studies: social status, aggression, social status,competitive motivation and moral grey areas can also influence decisions that go into cheating.
