WANTED: Anonymous cheaters

So, aside from a forum title that sounds like it belongs on an adult site... I am genuinely interested to hear from people that cheat in online games on fc 25. Comment anonymously if you like/can... 

I just wanted to know what the gain/enjoyment is from doing this online? It doesn't change what your actual ability is. I can't grasp what the reward is, other than stats. I would love to know from someone who does it, what they gain from it? 

  • 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.
