Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

I was just wondering it is not like it will affect your game if some yahoo has 2 bill gold really. I am just saying there is so much hate out there about this. and before you all jump on me yes I used the glitch for my son he's nine and felt it might give him a leg up if he started with like 100,000 gold but for myself I did not glitch for my game.

because if your a real fan and want the full expierence you wouldnt cheat would you?
peter molyneax wouldnt make a punishment for it if he didnt think it would spoil some of the game for you

But It does not fit in with the do whatever you want feel of the game. I would understand if it hurt other players besides yourself (its like blasting people for using the contra code)

"For every choice, a consequence." This is the Fable 2 mantra and fits well within the story's architecture. As Peter has said about using the glitch:

"Don't expect there not to be consequences after all lets remind ourselves that Fable says for every choice a consequence and cheating is a choice"

You don't have any basis to say what a 'real fan' should or shouldn't do. I'm sure every person registered on this forum is a fan of the Fable series, so that excuse isn't going to cut it. And PM never said it was going to spoil the game for anyone. In fact, he said it wasn't a huge deal in a couple of interviews. And yes, everyone is aware there will be consequences.

As to why some people get so uptight over others using the glitch, I really couldn't tell you.

It doesnt bother me,
If they want to cheat, Let them cheat!
Its not like it affects us,
I mean, Why be offended if we know we dont,
Let them cheat,
They might now enjoy it like we do!
(Even though i dont like Fable 2 has guns)

Kinda dont like the idea of guns in Fable II, but after reading tales of Albion chapter II, I guess it kinda makes sense..

I guess some ppl just cant stand the thought of someone having an easy time getting gold and eventually owning all of Albion, when that's the same thing you wanna do - except without cheating.
So you wanna own all of Albion and get the achievement for it, without cheating, but since you can cheat, and theres no way of telling if you cheated to get the achievement, it makes it less of an acomplishment to own all of Albion...
sounds a bit gay, I know, it's just a thought..
and I know many of you arent achievement sluts, so you probably wouldnt strive to own all of Albion as much as I would..

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

it will only affect those who choose to play online, because gold will hold no value and things in the economy will then change. If you have ever played diablo 2 you will no that gold has no value, and the currency of that game was a ring, with 40 of those rings you could buy whatever item you wanted...

its just for online play purposes, it will ruin the economy. Everyone will have bought entire cities and everything like that

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

It has a lot to do with the fact that happiness is based upon comparison. If my friend has five bucks and I have 50 by comparrison I'm doing pretty well. If my friend has 5000 I'm relatively poor. Even though I have the same money in each situation it feels much different.

So those who chose for what ever reason to not glitch want those who do to suffer some kind of punishment so that by comparison they are doing better. I mean who doesn't want to be on the "winning" side of a situation.

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

its like asking why are people so mad at the kids who mod in halo 2? because it takes no effort and shows how much skill you lack at the game, but because they have godlike powers they run around thinking they are the best players.

same thing with fable 2. 'I glitched the game i own everything in the game and you dont HA HA, im so effing 1337' thats what all the children are going to be saying, not realizing their own stupidity that they could never achieve this playing the game properly.

Modding in Halo 2 was completely different than glitching because when people modded in matchmaking, they directly ruined the experience for other players.Fable 2 is not an MMORPG, if someone glitched their money and their economy was effected accordingly, it's still their world. It does not effect your experience at all. And so what if a bunch of children are going to be running around bragging? That doesn't affect your game in the slightest, either.

People have to stop worrying about how everyone else got their gold and just enjoy the game in their own way.

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

I don't personally care what other people do. I played fair, I earned 100k and I am content, if some person wants to cheat themselves that's their choice, even if it is the wrong choice. I plan to be extremely evil in my game, but cheating just doesn't seem logical.

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

The simple fact is that fable 2 isn't a mmo, it's not a massive competition and having the most gamer points doesn't give you a larger you know what. So if someone has the game early then so what suck it up. If someone else wants to cheat it don't hurt you so quit your yapping. There is no point acting like a smack head over someone else cheating in a basically single player game. Now i can understand complaining when it happens in a mmo and i can certainly understand when your in a FPS competition. Instead of winning over stupid little things use your time more constructivly and end word hunger or some crap like that :w00t:

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

Franklyi didint even know aobut the glitch so i dont care, if they want to glitch and cheat by getting money they can i dont really give a ****. but im a fan of fable alot so i would not cheat..

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

guys, it really doesn't matter. games are supposed to be about fun, some people might have fun exploiting the game so they own everything, ITS THEIR OWN WORLD. pm said, your character reflects YOU as a person. someone that likes to cheat will obviously have alot of corruption points to them when they merge characters, but you shouldnt rip on people if they cheated, its their own world. if you see a 12 year kid on a forum bragging about how he owns the universe of fable 2, start bragging about how YOU started off **** poor, and gradually owned bowerstone WITHOUT CHEATING. own him.

Re: Why are so many people mad at people that exploit the pub games glitch

Well i personally have cheated but i only got 300,000 which won't get me very far and if i find that something bad happens when you transfer that cash then i'll jsut start again from scratch I don't see alot wrong with it because it's not a competition so if you wanna get a little bit of moolah to help you start then it should be k although i don't approve of people with more than 500,000 gold and the poeple who say thye have like 13mill just make me want to slap them ^_^
