The GTA community is awful

[Astrolonomics]

Lets be honest, the GTA community is one of the worst out there. I ain't some Rockstar shill or whatever else people will say against me, but this community is awful. They give you almost no help at all and act very arrogantly and elitist towards anyone who doesn't have the knowledge that they have when someone doesn't understand them. Also when people criticize their mods the creators have a fit and block these people. And it's not just this game that has the problem, but I mean the entire GTA community, especially on places like GTAForums. So to ask you guys, why does this community have so many awful people in it?

^ pretty much this.

Either that or they're actually protecting you from yourself OP, because if you mod GTA5 you take a huge risk of getting banned.

See kids this is why words matter. No one said anything about cheating.

Modders are offline, non cheating players.

technically you're wrong. FiveM is a online mod. Also the people cheating online are using a form of MOD also. It's funny you say this same thing in a lot of posts and have been proven wrong multiple times yet you never have a good response about the fact your wrong.

Modification to the game is still cheating no mater how you call it,be it online or offline. Using god mode in SP is same as you use it online and falls under using cheats.

Cheating requires you gain advantage over others. So you can put forth this stupid pedantic position and i wont disagree, but you and i both know its idiotic.

you must be trolling. so using cheat codes in a single player game is not cheating? why are they called cheat codes? your thinking is majorly flawed. cheating is not just for multiplayer games as you specify.

you're* And I guess literally every game cheat ever isn't cheating then.

its a slang term that took root, why would you care what someone does in SP? Who's being cheated? So now you want to call all online cheaters modders and all SP modders cheaters? You cant even keep the terms straight i dont expect you to understand.

your cheating the system implemented in the game

They are cheating themselves and Rockstar.

Really, then why did rockstar add a cheat menu and several codes for SP games then? All you have to do is push tilda and a magic in game cheat menu appears, that Rockstar created and added.

Also i am cheating myself by adding Ghost rider or Iron Man mods to my game? LOL!!!!!!!!!!
You should be embarrassed at your absurdity.

wait did you just call the SP mod a CHEAT menu? seems you getting mixed up in your own words now

Modders can be cheaters, but cheaters are just cheaters. So the argument about what to call them is stupid. If someones modding to cheat... they're a cheater.

I realize. he makes the same argument in different forums but when you make a valid point he stops responding because he knows he is wrong.

Thanks! for all those who think you can only cheat when playing MP with other people.

Yeah because people don't want to help a dirty cheater

Mods =/= cheating.

I see this a lot. People assuming because you mod you're a cheater when the two are entirely different things altogether. The mod community has a kind of code of honor. They support developers as much as possible, don't do things like redistribute IP illegally and don't do things like encourage people to mess with anyone else's online experience. While not every modder follows this code for the most part we're all smart enough to understand if we don't we're shooting ourselves in the foot. It's very hard to get companies like Rockstar to make their games mod-compatible. That said there's ways of modding that don't impact people's online experience or impact Rockstars monetization of their game.

The hackers? The people who cheat and rip off Rockstar? Most modders hate them. Not only is what they're doing disrespectful to devs and players alike a lot of times it's illegal. The majority of modders who are legit and ethical think that stuff sucks, too.

While cheating in a single player game is cheating it's not cheating that affects anyone else. It's not something anyone should care about or consider on the same level as someone cheating in a game involving two or more people. It's like someone boxing a punching bag at home vs their going out and beating someone up at random on the street. In both cases they're still boxing. The difference is punching the bag isn't wrong while assaulting people is.

Anyone who says modding is not cheating is wrong. Game genie modded games and was consider cheating.

but lets move on from that topic.

cheaters are cheaters. doesn't matter who it affects. I'm going by the definition of cheating.
It does not matter who you affect when cheating, your still cheating whether it affects others or not. Thanks for supporting what we have said here.

actually your wrong. fivem is a popular mod for GTA online. It in no way is considered cheating playing this mod. not all modders are cheaters. games have legit mods that are not considered cheats or cheating.
