And if you don't cheat who are you impressing with the bits of data? Is it worth it to be that emotionally invested in a video game? All video games are just variations of space invaders and pac man.

I don't know you, but I do know that this type of game by its very nature attracts very competitive individuals. Achievements feed into that. If you are not the competitive sort of person that enjoys it then you will never understand it, but questioning that behavior as if it were an ethical violation of some ideal is questionable in itself.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

Cheating is cheating. Some people have something called integrity, class, honor. Those that cheat..... yes even in a cartoon plane game have none, Period. And those that think "it's ok because it's only a game" are in the same boat, no honor, no class, and no integrity.

This is an unmanly act and should be treated as such.  We should all laugh at the very sight of this person while they fly for they have no cerebral man-parts and since having no cerebral man-parts is a choice, it's laughable.

How is it cheating if you're not breaking any rules?

pretty sure it is. htc resets scores/perks when they have been made aware of it in the past.

The longer you are on this planet the more you realize that the way people behave in games, be it golf, baseball, checkers or flight sims, tends to illuminate the way they behave, whether be at work or life in general.

That's actually a bargain, two accounts for the price we had to pay ten years ago for one. This is a common thing in all mmog's. I don't know why I haven't started another account yet but I hope this really catches on. This is potentially a big bump in revenue for HTC. That means more development, more advertising, more players. Having only 60 players in the main arena sux, having less than 100 sucks. I, for one, am on board with this.
Like I said, I'm definitely getting another account. And I encourage everyone to do the same.

Do you seriously find it more fun to play by the rules than breaking them? That's just lily liver'd.

Hey, its fake war.  Cheating and spying played a huge part in WWII.  Maybe the cheaters are just trying to get full immersion.  :joystick:

Of course all people ingest chemicals to stay alive if the form of food of course.
Other people ingest chemicals to sleep better, prevent pregnancy, lose weight, lower their cholesterol, have e better sex life, etc.

but then...SOME PEOPLE ingest chemicals that make them stronger and faster... Shame. On. Them.
