Instead of complaining about people who cheat, why not rise to the challenge?

This is directed towards video games, I could understand real life situations where someone's life or well being could be the cost, but in video games, why do so many people complain when people cheat? Not that I do, and seriously, as much stigma as that phrase holds, I don't, I just don't understand, if there is an imbalance, or someone who is hacking, things like that, why don't you just deal with it? Regardless of how this question may or may not sound, I am just curious, because I simply can't understand why, you can't just play the game as it is, and if people are cheating then deal with it, and if you can't, it's good training. The thing which spurred this rant is how so many video games have restricted characters/units/powers, if they are so overpowered then get good with them or get recognized for doing with weaker onesInstead of complaining about people who cheat, why not rise to the challenge?
Speaking of online shooters here . .





Would I REALLY want to rise to the challenge of someone using an aimbot that can immediately tell if anyone is in sight in a 360 degree radius and auto-aim to the head when one is sighted?





Speaking of MMORPGs here, specifically in PvP -





Say you're sneaking around, looking for the weaker types to kill, or even the stronger ones because you can play REALLY well. The majority of your damage is based on your 'hit-from-stealth' attack. Now, someone rolls along who is using a packet-sniffing program to tell where someone who is stealthed actually is. Rather than being unseen, this cheater can tell immediately where you are. Rushes to you, and attacks you to take you out of stealth before you can line up for your hit-from-stealth attack. You are now dead because you've lost most of your damage.





Speed-Hacks(MMORPGS again.. maybe some other games?)





Ok, you're busily fighting someone, who notices he is losing terribly. . . he turns to run, you think 'great! another idiot who thinks he can get away' but wait! He's running at 500% normal speed! In the end he gets away.





These cheats make it abysmally hard to have a fighting chance in any of these situations. A person with a computer doing PERFECT aiming for them?Instead of complaining about people who cheat, why not rise to the challenge?
um.... o_O becaaauuse..... sometimes...it's impossible to...beat em....unless you cheat yourself.... which...is just as wrong..and takes the fun away....... I thiiiink? XP





plus... in games such as pokemon... I'm sure most of usss agree that HACKING/CLONING pokemon is DEGRADING OUR hard earned pokes from their VALUE T_T





....didn't really bother to read the whole thing ^_^;;;
Well, it's annoying when you've worked for x amount of time to get to a level or area, and some person who just started playing is there because they found a cheat. My opinion is if you're going to pay for a game, then play it the way it's meant to be played, isn't that why you paid for it.


Also, I don't know if you mean hacking like getting the game for free (talking about world of warcraft where there are private illegal servers and people try to get free account codes) that is unfair to the gaming company and the players who do pay.


Hope this helps you understand some.
