Dont hack, dont risk getting banned. simple as that.

Oh and let me guess, you were only hacking on a 'private match' too huh?

If you change the data.jet file,youre instantly flagged,and i knew that.Therefore i could never have hacked in online games.PLus modding game files isnt hacking in the sense of unlimited money/lives.Modding can only be used in private matches,and i do it for fun.(trust me,5th tier towers is fun.)Also i modded on my second account,i just accidently modded on my main.

It is still hacking, because you are changing the game files to great a bias. And if you knew it so well, why did you mod on your main account? Either way i don't care, because at the end of the day you hacked, you got flagged.

Um,i clearly stated i accidently done it on my main account,plus ninja kiwi dosent mind people modding,all they do is flag you.Thats why youtubers like ISAB,Blazeit and alienrock arent banned on a daily baisis.Plus to hack it requires an external cheat/hack engine while changing the game files mannually is modding.(modding does not equal hacking,i mean making mods for minecraft isnt hacking the game now is it?)

Know what your taking about before you claim im hacking.Using 7zip to open the data.jet file,then editing the files with notepad++ and changing the code IS NOT HACKING.Its modding,a diffrent thing completely.Hacking would be giving yourself unlimited lives/money in an online match.Modding can only be used in private games.

gotta love it when people cant see the difference.

modding is great, hacking isnt.

modding is fun for you, and if your able to share your creations, you often find you get a little following from it, hense modding communities

hacking is the oppsite, a selfish mechanism to disadvantage other players for your own gain, it ruins the fun.

hope NK fix it soon ;)

Hacking and modding is the same thing, if the game dose not officaly support modding or modders. to hack you need to change some game data correct? isnt that just modding? i hope you get banned.

Hacking is defined as unauthorized access to data you shouldn't have - If he hacked, he'd likely have access to all of the NK employee's information, and all of our login information and such. So, is he hacking?

Modding is changing making modifications - Is he making modifications to something that already exists?

Yeah, this is defined as modding.
AFAIK, Modding is extremely fun in this game, and has likely saved a few YouTubers a lot of subs when the game is/was dying - For a few months, a bunch of YTers/streamers just started downloading modded versions of the game, and it was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of fun for them, and everyone watching.
And no, you don't get instantly flagged when you mod the data.jet file - The game only verifies your file is legit when you enter a public arena/match, or a tournament.

Hacking and modifying is the same thing, so im glad he got flagged. and i hope he gets banned in the future.

Did you even read my post, or attempt to understand it, before just immediately saying I'm wrong?

I did, and you do have a good point, and theres a good chance i'm wrong. but in my opinion changing game files to get an advantage in ANY way, other than the devs allow is hacking/cheating. thats my opinion and mine only.

I mean, you can't argue with a true definition...

And, he wasn't using it to get an advantage? If he was using modding to gain an advantage, that'd be called cheating, as he'd be using an unfair advantage that the other player shouldn't have.
And, the devs are completely fine with it, as well. I forgot to remove the mod I created, and I tried going into a public game, which it didn't allow me to, then I realized I was flagged. I just emailed NK, and told them I was modding, and forgot to remove the mod, and they unflagged me. They've also said that they're entirely okay with modding, as long as you don't use it in a public match. If they did hate it, aswell, they'd just add an extra check (trust me, it'd be extremely simple to implement this) in the private battles, OR even when you turned on the game, and if you had a mod, it'd insta-flag you. Which it doesn't do. Literally, would take about a line of code to activate the def.
