Mod vs hacks?

  Oh god, this all started because he just learned of a macro that's been around since G4.
  
  Oh god, we're gonna all die because a lot of us use it.
  
  Oh god.

  And best, it's no secret. A min on google and it's easy to find, it's not like it's a hyper secret macro where only certain people can get. You just need to look for it lol
  I found it through that way because someone was restoring fossils and said something about macro. Since my hand was hurting already from restoring i googled and found it instantly.

  The only DLL, I admit this, I ever used was the perfect shot one where I could shoot instantly. Thing is, it just caused my friend, whom I knew IRL, so I could kick his ass if he told, was lagging so bad, I had to remove it.

  Yep let's all not login and make assumptions based on what others said. Really smart move there

  The reason why you quoting your experience was a rookie move was because it counts solely your own experience, doesn't account for the experiences of others and lacks accountability. Essentially, the problem with it is that it recounts only your experience and your view is not the sole single view nor can you guarantee that you've encountered all possible outcomes in question. Absence of evidence isn't the same thing as evidence of absence.
  
  As an aside, your appeal to ridicule is really unflattering to you.

  .dll edits will always be possible. And things like 1 charge FB are always possible.
  
  It's just, they're nowhere as easily accessible as they were anymore because there are actual intelligent modders who realize how game-breaking that would be, especially in public hands.
  
  Plus, like I said, intelligent modders. They're not going to abuse this... at least, in public and heavily.

  If other players can't even tell you are using it, there is nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. (What you don't know can't hurt you.)

  MAYBE It's just me, but the fossil restoration actually takes time to learn how to do. that's something called SKILL. if you dont wanna pick it up, dont learn how to be better with a mouse/tablet, but just because everyone else is doing it, dosen't mean it's okay. Just because everyone drinks/smokes, doesn't mean it's okay for you to do it.
  
  I'm personally "Okay" with a bot or two. something like JUST PUSHING A BUTTON is okay. that's just extra time out of your life. Fossils though, require SKILL to use. Life skills are there for a reason, and it should be done fairly, even if your only getting 800 exp.

  Not everyone possesses the ability to hold their hand steady.
  Also, have you ever tried doing that minigame with a trackpad?
• ShadowFox31 wrote on 2011-01-17 17:43
  I know I suck at it, and i'm FINE with that. Do I want to get better at fossil restoration? no. Would I like that title? yea. will I bot to get it. Never.
  
  I have my own morals. I'm just seeing what everyone else thinks.
• Taycat wrote on 2011-01-17 17:45
  Well, not everyone can do it decently. And neither can you. It's just, I can't move my arm that fast anymore.
• Chromatic wrote on 2011-01-17 17:49
  Actually restoring fossils is easy with a pen tablet. When i still restored them by hand i used it. However can get ridiculously tiring after a while

  So just because you cant do it, you take the easy way out? that's understandable. It's just a game right? no need to take effort from a game. (Sarcasm)

  Everyone else has their own set of morals as well. While Nexon ToS say botting is against the ToS, it doesn't say it is immoral or moral. Only the person in question can judge whether something is moral.
  
  I don't see much point in trying to learn Fossil game. You can't tell if a person is botting anyways. Since you feel like fossil game is worth learning, that is your own situation, not anyone else's.
