Once I nearly got what would have been only a temporary ban at a site just for posting some helpful information about how the game worked. Which Pokemon is that egg going to hatch into? Well the source code tells you exactly what the name of the egg's image is, which is a number of the Pokemon it's hatching into - duh. But I got a warning for posting something that obvious and had to remove it. It's not really cheating if anyone who can read can right click and view the page's source code. =/ But whatever.

 

And once on an online game my account got frozen for who knows what, but I was hacked, and after only a day of talking to a GM everything was fixed and all my stolen stuff was recovered. Yay. =3

 

That's not saying I don't actually cheat/exploit the system on some online games. Oh, I do, on occasion. But cheating takes the fun out of games where you're supposed to 'earn' something so I usually opt not to even if I know it's possible. It's not always safe, either. If I want to keep playing a game and enjoying new content then I can't just go out and do something I might get caught doing. The smart thing to do would be to report a flaw in the design, not abuse it.

 

I was once a MMO botter :P I've got ban several times but I always ended up getting it back, but those years are gone. :P

 

Ah, botting. *chuckle* Honestly, if one's smart enough to set up a macro bot themselves it almost makes it seem fair, they're just using their intelligence to their advantage. I've done that a few times but only games where I really didn't care if I got caught or not. I did it just to see that I could. Screw the game's economy. If I can get banned for things I didn't do, it's more amazing to note the things I don't get banned for.

 

Not currently actively playing anything online right now, though...
