What is the purpose of hacking?

[mnich409]

I'm just curious about this.

Hacking, not to be confused with cheating. Purpose of cheating (using hacks) is obvious - pwning and trolling people is fun. But why do people create hacks? If it was because they want to cheat, I don't think they would release them. Is that some kind of art, or ideology of combating the players or game owners? Coding exercise?

They want to presentate what they've done.
Showing they skills in coding/hacking etc.
and they also want to help Members, who can't do thinks like that.
Some people are hating S4League and want to "destroy" it a little bit so they release hacks. There are so many points why people are releasing hacks.
