Sharana Alpha Tester 2,271 posts 1,040 battles Report post #403 Posted April 10, 2015 I'm sorry mate, but you are living in a parallel universe right now. Yes WG allowed this mod to be published and they are "testing it" by collecting statistics and feedback from people using it. It's illegal if they say it is, not if we think it's illegal and for now they say it's not a cheat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the World of Tanks (?!) experience; So who said it's a cheat, bot or hack? Because it is not unauthorized as they know about it (tested it) and allowed it get published on the official forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mindfulcrane07 Players 1,497 posts 3,475 battles Report post #407 Posted April 10, 2015 They would practically ban a lot of CBT testers and people that actually just tried out the mod to give a good statement here. They should declare it illegal and THEN ban people who STILL use it. yes that was what i ment because atm it is not illigal wich is a shame but yea anounce that it is illigal give people 24 hours or so and then ban all people who still use it is what i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fugepilot Beta Tester 69 posts 2,019 battles Report post #408 Posted April 10, 2015 Link is perfectly valid until mod is designated as good or bad. I had to check with ppl above , but yes, it is ok. So, I just splashed out £25 on two of the pre-order ships: then found this thread ... now I'm wondering if it was 25 quid down the drain. The above quoted post by BBV does not, unfortunately, inspire confidence that this abomination will be appropriately dealt with. Moreover, thanks to the vid posted above I have seen the horror in the flesh so to speak and apart from the cheating aspect, I fail to understand who would want to spoil the nice visuals of the game by having all those ugly white lines all over the place. Fingers crossed that sanity will prevail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The code was already there (I know but am not able to divulge information (NDA)) and all this mod does is to manipulate it so as it is WG's own code it is not cheating in their eyes. That aside it is a pimple on the face of beauty, sooner it has gone the better it will be. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warlock2112 Beta Tester 9 posts 1,806 battles Report post #413 Posted April 10, 2015 It was supposed to have been in the alpha so the rumours say, but it removed from gameplay. If that's the case then is was removed for a reason. I watched a streamer show it in game last night. Totally breaks it. It's more than a pimple, it's a melanoma. If this don't get banned, put a fork in this game it's done, before it's even started. You now have no way of knowing if another player has a big game because of skill or because they are cheating. Takes ALL the fun out of the game, and adds a rage factor it could well do without. It will change the game from being a hit like WOT to being a WOWPs. If it stays to OB, I won't be playing, and I won't be recommending it to anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a new game and WG should not do the same mistake as WOT where everyone uses aimbots and other craps freely since they dont get any penalties .

I'll try the free2play version of the game, but I'll never drop a single dime on it until mods like these are banned/removed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torpedo42 Beta Tester 259 posts 3,348 battles Report post #422 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) From oxford dictionaries: Definition of Hack "A piece of computer code providing a quick or inelegant solution to a particular problem." Some juicious expressions here: "particular problem"= its dificult to hit at moving targets "quick or inelegant solution"= aimbot ..."inelegant solution"... this is the correct expression Edited April 10, 2015 by Torpedo42 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BKC] DBaron Beta Tester 465 posts 2,926 battles Report post #423 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) You know, if I wanted to discuss the finer points of technicalities or the law, I would have studied law, and not economics. But thats beside the point. I play games to have fun, to match my skills with other players on even grounds and see who does better, thats the main point of playing vs real people instead of an AI right? It also need to present a challenge to make it interesting, not so much as to be like grinding a second job, but not so easy that it feels like a point-n-click browser gamer. And I think here the community gets split into different groups, those that think like I do, that a game should be challening, fun and a competition and the others, who think it needs to satisfy their own personal ownage feeling (which is all right and fair if that person is really that good). And now those aiming aids come along - if its not removed and not implement on a broad scale, its atleast in my opinion, a cheat. And if it gets implemented, its dumbing down the game further removing the skill requirement. In both cases, it makes the game less interesting (also from my perspective). A side effect you can already see ingame now is, if you really get sunk by an enemy player in a few shots, I normally would say, Hey-nice shooting - but now, arent most ppl asking themselves - Was it skill, luck - or were you just beaten my an aiming aid ? In any case, it didnt help to improve the community or the flair in the games now. Edited April 10, 2015 by DBaron 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[POP] YukiEiriKun [POP] Beta Tester 1,500 posts 5,749 battles Report post #424 Posted April 10, 2015 Why are people talking about "aimbot"? What I've seen here is merely an lead indicator, not an aimbot.And even if it's excistance annoys me, it still does very little if you actually "wiggl' ur butt" around. (something I personally fail doing)Great Jeebus. Aimbots. Yeah. (or is an lead indicator that much better than manual aim? I still have some 44% hits because I always go way too close ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vogel Alpha Tester 2,062 posts 4,171 battles Report post #425 Posted April 10, 2015 Then what is left to do in this game if you install this mod? Might as well go and play 90% of the web browser games, as it will literally be just to point the cursor at aim assist (slight modifications perhaps) and fire. If WG decides to combat this mod by giving it to all the players, then this game will be dead, simple as that. No learning curve, no self-improvement = stale game pretty fast. Never understood the point of cheating, but in this game it will remove everything that makes it fun in one swift stroke. I wonder what kind of people that enjoys the husk of a game that is left if they use this mod? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
