Joolz Interview

[Cmoney]

yes if i recall he now helps make anti-cheats

[naem]

joolz has switched back and forth from programming cheats to anti-cheats and back to programming cheats once already, so don't be surprised if he comes out with a new version of MetaCheat in a week.

I don't know why this guy gets interviewed so often, he really can't have that much to say that he hasn't already said.

lol that's what i was thinking.

[Nunka]

Joolz is a traitor to the cheating community. :P



Anyway, to those who are saying that anyone who codes cheats should die a horribly painful death, you should know that most of them just do it for the challenge of being one step ahead of VAC and Cheating-Death. The people who use those cheats are the ones you should hate. Yes, this does seem like a flawed concept, but I daresay I think it's a fun little hobby for coders.

Works fine for me. Apparently, though, I'm the only one, as there have been almost no comments in the last hour.

You are rationalizing them ruining millions of peoples game time because they get a "thrill" out of hacking vac.



If that were the case, then why the fuck do they release them to everybody? Why not crack it, test it, skeet all over themselves in pleasure, and then delete it?



Could it be recognition? Or maybe publicly abusing a corporation? Or deliberatly trying to ruin games for their own agenda? Or just because they don't care? You tell me, it doesn't matter.



I don't blame hackers who download hacks. Those sad individuals who can't deal with teaching themselves skill, or simply hack for the sadistic pleasure of hacking, are just typical humans with typical flaws. I blame the coders who give hackers what they need to indulge their weaknesses. Just as we prosecute the drug dealer, and rehabilitate the user.



So yes, I would like them to die of various painful crotch rotting diseases, because they are actively ruining peoples good times. And that's just wrong.

[Nunka]

Well, fuck. I think I've been beaten.

[L0stAngel]

I dont care for being in a server with cheaters...but I think that cheat makers have a lot of talent...especially when they have to keep patching up what valve does to break the cheat. He has said many times, that he would have switched to doing anti-cheats before he quit making cheats, but nobody trusted him...even though the Anti-Cheat people could have tested him on his loyalty.

You have it completely backwards. You need to understand that people will always cheat. The cheat coders tell Valve that they're apparently not doing a good job with their anti-cheat software and they need to patch things up. Also, I don't see how people are so offended by cheaters? Just leave the server. When people attempt to insult cheaters, you only give them more reason to cheat. I'm pretty sure joolz has attempted to work for Valve, but Valve never hired him.

No, I agree with that. I said that. That's what I meant by it's a human failing. People are weak, people will cheat. Can't stop people wanting to cheat any more than wanting to kill and fuck.

No. The cheat coders force Valve to patch up a problem that doesn't exist. Last time I checked 99.9% of players are completely incapable of building their own cheat. Cheating would cease to exist if the cheats hadn't been written for the weak. Ever hear of standing on the shoulders of genius's?

Well lets see:



1. They are cheating

2. Check out 1 again, its awesome.

emazing wrote..

Ridiculous solution that doesn't guarantee satisfaction. They are ruining a game by unbalancing it. They are ruining a game that players paid for to be balanced. Why do I have to leave?

emazing wrote..

I already said that too: Some people cheat for sadistic pleasure. However, It's irrelevant, the cheaters aren't the problem, the easily downloaded hacks are the problem.

[quxex1hi]

The guy made one cheat. Then again, I guess most people here must be post-1.3.

[chrioboy]

He made more than one cheat, ive used several he has made. Why are people getting so worked up? They should know cheating is fun, making cheats is funner (yep i said funner) and everyone does it. Connect to ANY server and youll find atleast 1 cheater.
