Re: The Third Party [A Discussion]
I don't know how many you had, but on several posts, you've mentioned a variety of videos that you refused to show. From that, I've made the assumtion that you've more than just "experimented" with these things. Besides, you didn't learn how any of these things worked. You only played around with them and took screenshots of places you weren't supposed to enter.
If you really did use them for educational purposes, instead of telling the general public about them, why don't you tell them how it works and how to combat them? For example, just looking at your post where you said you can heal while standing up. I already have a general idea of how it's done because this method is done all the time on single player games. You find the memory location of your current status, because theres always something in the game that represents you standing up, sitting down, on chocobo, etc, etc. You freeze your standing up position, and do a /heal. Now you're healing, but you've frozen your current state of standing up. Now thats a little bit of education don't you think? I've provided the public with actual knowledge of how this works without giving away how to actually do it. Without the knowledge of how to find the memory location, you can't use the exploit, but you at least have the knowldege of how it works. And educating people was the original point of this thread was it not?
Instead, you've chosen just to list the abilities of different third party programs without any in depth knowledge. That didn't educate anyone except alert them of the fact that you can gain an unfair advantage in the game for free by doing some homework on google.
To summarize all of this, you didn't use any of these for educational purposes at all. You claim that you are interested in how these things work, but yet you don't know the mechanics of it, or at least don't discuss it. So next time, please don't lie and tell us you're interested in learning about these programs. You're only interested in using them for whatever brief period of time you claim to be.
There is more than one issue wrong with this thread. Just because I'm pointing it out doesn't mean I'm broadening my original point to make myself seem bigger. I have no idea where that notion even came from because that was a VERY valid point I brought up. You are wrong, you've only provided them with another lead to follow up on. You're right on one thing, you can't control other peoples morals, but this post does change things. You're providing them with ideas and tools they might not have otherwise known existed. And worst yet, as history dictates, people are easily corrupted with power. Maybe you aren't, I wouldn't know; but when this knowledge is passed down to the 10 year old boy looking to gain a winning edge over everyone else, I doubt this post has educated him more than it has corrupted him.
