It's hardly real life and some kid getting better gear than some other kid is hardly more than a first world problem. Hunger, violence, human trafficking, these are actual problems. This kid cheating on this game this time... hardly a blip on a radar.



I say just do what you can which is report it an move on. No point in getting up in arms over someone else's gameplay in a virtual world where the points never matter and the reward is replaced a month later.



There's people who make a living doing things like twitch and youtube. Not to mention while you don't care these people worked hard to get the skills that they have. Playing many hours a day with some very diligent practice. Yes there are worse things to get upset over but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't get upset. Here's the thing in the grand scheme of things we as citizens don't have enough power to make a huge different on a daily basis when it comes to things like starvation, poverty, disease, human trafficking, or violence. You can donate but it's the best you do.



I mean, who cares if someone steals money from the government, right? They have plenty. Who cares if someone robs a store if no one gets hurt? There's people being murdered, tortured, and dying of terrible diseases. Where does it stop? Truth is in competition there are rules. There are also rules in this game. Breaking rules that you have agreed upon only proves that you're a dishonest person. There should be consequences to people's actions even if they're not severe actions. Consequences appropriate to the slight they have committed.



That's real life. No one is asking for someone who cheats in ranked matches to be punished as badly as a convicted serial killer. That doesn't mean people shouldn't fight to make sure the appropriate action is met. Those that cheat on video games don't deserve to go to jail but they might deserve being removed from the game. Even if it's temporary. Certainly if I played competitive sports and I find out a fellow competitor is cheating I would make sure he's removed from the game. You realize that some people playing video games is their job, right? There's people who take it very seriously. Why is cheating on SATS any worse than cheating in any other form of competition? What gives you the right to decide what is and isn't "lame" to get upset over in regards to cheating? To some people a game or sport can be more important than college scores.There's people who make a living doing things like twitch and youtube.
