If it is one thing I really cant comprehend, it is people cheating when playing against human opponents...hear me out:

First of all, cheating has been around for almost as long as computer games and to some extent, even the gaming industry have embraced cheating in that they implemented cheat codes you could enter on the title screen or on the high score table to get an advantage when playing. This sort of cheating was programmed into the games by the programmers and it exists even in coin-ops such as Bubble-Bobble and Crystal Castles to name just two.

I know I've used cheats to get pass a 'for me impossible' location in games after spending weeks of 'fat chance' - Heck, I've even made a trainer for a computer pinball game (Timeshock!) to be able to play the 'Global Domination' endgame and no excuses necessary as I did so for myself only.

I still cheat to some extent, even in this game as I have all 205 vehicles. While that gives me an advantage equipment-wise, it is more of an up yours to Gameloft's greedy 'Force2Pay' model. I don't MAX/PRO any of them by cheating, neither do I use cheats in TLEs and cheaters have caused me to stop playing MP as I can't be arsed. I still notice cheaters in MP TLEs which I do play...

I do know a real looser when I see one though and once I notice a cheater...and I will notice most...they are classified as a looser in my mind even if they win.

I would really like to know their motivation. First, it is almost a guaranteed 'win' if you have unlimited speed or spawn ahead cheats active, but any and all competition is gone. Secondly, anyone here remember how we raced head to head and only a car-lenght separated us at the finish line when the game was released in late 2013. It was one bad turn and 'nooooooooooooooooo', then you got your revenge come next race when the opponent made his 'not-so-perfect' turn (it really was what separated us, one wall-hit or another minor flaw in gameplay). Pure adrenaline rush it was and that aspect of the game is dead, though not just because of cheaters.

Anyone have a time machine? :)
