TL;TR: What is the problem of "game breaking"
if anyone could direct me or explain to me, why we shouldn't game break, that would be nice because I never understood it.
If we are hackers, and we make people's lives miserable, and our lives happy and full of wonder and fun, what is the problem of inf walls, or inf sentries? Is it that we might get banned? but were hacking, aren't we all gonna be banned anyways? Or are we hackers that follow the rules, which is clearly a contradiction.

I know many people who don't seem to understand. SO I am hoping this post will make some people think about it. Based on my experience in a older game.
There are 2 types of hackers in this world.
There are the hackers that loves the game to death, explores withen the games code to alter withen their own rules to create amazing results that benefits other players in a good positive non harmful way.
Then there are hackers that are bad, dont give 1 fuck about the game or community itself. Only wants to hack to ruin everyones fun.
During 2011, almost everyone withen the community was good hackers. We have created ASM hacks to fully optimize the games engine, which at the time, or hell even right now , is poorly optimized and was offen glitchy. Our mods provided ways to improve the engine from changing the bitmap font to removing fade and animation delays to guis. They were beneficial because it made the game more playable, increased the playerbase and provided ways to update it
It comtiuned that way until someone went too far by releasing a packet editor
It was horrible, people were able to GM Hide, croput save player datas, and killimg NPCs, this went on for 2 whole weeks. By that time the game was unplayable without your data being safe.
The game finally went on maitence for 2 whole days.
During Behind the scenes at the company the koreans were very pissed off. They wanted to shut down the whole game because we ruined it for them, they wanted to keep the americans out forever. The company begged not to take it off because their game was the 2nd money making sources for them (and still is too this day). They gave them one more chance and so far both the developers and the hackers learned their lessons and has been stepping their and our game up because we learned that the damage we have created almost lost our game that we dearly loved, not including the non caring hackers.
Since then private patches has been always kept private. L
Private patches being leaked has become a bare minimal because the community is up tight knot strict about them. Nobody wants the newbies to learn about these damaging effects.
The point that im trying to make is this. If we continuiously allow game breaking hacks
We would have lost support for s4, for good. And im very sure nobody in this community wants that here.
