Why do people still play this game when cheating/hacking is rampant?
Why do people still play this game when cheating/hacking is rampant?

The only answer that makes any sense is that most everybody uses cheats/hacks themselves, otherwise I can't imagine legit players putting up with it. I've seen indications that the more experienced players use private scripts/hacks that aren't well known by the community, and they only turn them on when they absolutely have to. I overheard one player bragging how his cheat script appears as the Steam app so that it isn't detected.

However, I am delighted when I see people complain about how their accounts have been banned for cheating (although they all claim they're innocent just like everyone in prison, which is probably where many of the online cheaters are going to end up sometime in their life, a different type of criminal but nonetheless still a criminal).

You are an absolute idiot if you believe that the majority of players is cheating. It's a minority but a minority that's large enough to be really effing annoying... You can't imagine legit players putting up with it? We don't! That's why you see ppl getting banned very regularly, because we report cheaters... You best come back down to earth son, you've placed yourself so high above everyone else you've floated off with all the hot air in that giant head of yours.

Srsly, you dumb as rocks

Wow you are special. Any hard data to back up any of your claims.? Im gonna assume you are not very good at Rust and see cheats every where when its just that most people are better than you.

Also, stop reporting people it makes you sound like a spoiled child. Is your ego so fragile?

So you just cut out the question about your claims because you cant back them up. Why am i not surprised. ROFL :)

Maybe you should man up a bit and try to act more like Genghis Khan rather than Karen Khan.

YouTube searches are not what anybody would call hard data. I could search for proof the earth is flat and get more hits than the search you did but the earth is not flat. Thats so desperate its sad to see. You got nothing but petty reports for trolling. Bet your a trump voter.

The more you throw your toys around and scream the funnier it gets. When some one has no argument they attack the person arguing with them not the argument. Nothing new or original there then. "Reported for unnecessary troll statement" that isnt even a proper sentence. So lets see, difficulty forming a decent sentence and has no facts to back up a point of argument so employs a straw man. Definitely seems like the sort of person who would vote for some one like trump. Just a wild guess on my part.

Lets see some hard numbers on the amount of cheaters compared to the overall number of players or your claims are just hot air based on your personnel experience and a youtube search.

Rampant cheating is already a proven thing in Rust, and isn't what this topic is about. Perhaps go back and read the original post.
