Ok, yes the both sides have a lot of VERY valid points - alot of which cannot really be argued. HOWEVER, I dont see the point in the constant bickering between everyone here.
Come on, its not rocket science to figure out that if anything is going to kill this wonderful sim, its the arguing, the name calling, and the constant b!tch fights.
I havent tried the mods myself, personally... not for any reason in particular...
I have to agree with the logic, however, about the... unfortunate way they came about... With the legalities of it... However...
You'll have to have your head in the sand NOT to see that these are things people have been asking for for ages.
As for the 'cheating' possibilities... Well, the AAA forum DOES seem to be very anti-cheat. And from what I can see, thats the place where the majority of these mods are available (might be wrong, but no more than 90% of everybody that posts here). Not only that, but there's been ways of cheating out there, longer than the mods have been. Yes it might make it easier... but: WHAT does one stand to achieve. If anything they're only destroying their OWN experience. All you need to do is respawn and report them (valla-bing and they're banned).
Now, surely, we can stop acting like children, and behave like adults, and agree to disagree. Stop the name calling, the moaning, the accusations... and just leave and let live. Leave the "Us" and "Them" mentalities some of you are forming...
Instead of mearly continuing the last 100-odd pages of complete and utter garbage - why dont we instead, as I said above, put this behind us - as a community - and focus on a way we can RE-secure the game. Like others have suggested, yes maybe third party is the way to go. Yes maybe this would be the only option. It may seem a bit, ancient... but we seem to have no other choice.
No doubt, following the trend of these threads, someone a tad too stubborn to see this furball for what it is (pointless/fruitless/immature), will quote me - and pull apart my message... but even then - just think about it.
Well...?
