In meantime, I will repost one of my earlier rants (edited) on the pathetic endeavor of cheating:
Cheaters on this website are pathetic and illogical, but mostly just pathetic. Cheaters in online games in general, or any sort of competition where virtually nothing is at stake are miserably pathetic as well.
There's no pride to be gained amongst the community since cheaters are often so obviously detectable and then soon banned. There's also no self-pride to be gained since they know that they haven't really earned anything. So, even if a cheater is not detected quickly and is able to keep up the ruse for while, what's the point of cheating in an online game where there is really nothing at stake besides a sense of pride?
So it seems, that to be motivated to cheat, a person must have such a pathetic life, where they cannot win anything, or have anything of value go their way, that the only thing they can do is create an artificial sense of success by "winning" a game, or in the case of some cheaters (that suck so bad that they can't even reliably win with *3!* puppet players in their control) induce draws to marginally increase a meaningless point tally. Can you imagine how pathetic an existence this person must lead if their only escape, their only respite from their daily misery is to grab at some false sense of victory in an online game?
Either that or the cheater simply enjoys wasting other people's time. The cheater shouldn't feel good for "winning", and the other players shouldn't feel bad for "losing". The only thing to feel bad about is having your time wasted, and hence the only thing the cheater could legitimately appreciate is the satisfaction of wasting the time of some random strangers on the internet. Trying to take anything more from a cheated win is a pure delusion. The convoluted task of cheating in games to waste other people's time is not any less pathetic anyways. However, there are a lot of idiotic trolls on the internet so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that it happens.
At the end of the day, I am not really too upset with cheaters, apart from the frustration of seeing people having wasted their time in dealing with them. I mainly just pity them for what must be their very pathetic motivations. They are likely people who are unsuccessful and unhappy in their other pursuits in life, and their meaningless endeavor of cheating in an online game is only a self-destructive cycle that will keep them unsuccessful and unhappy in their other more worthwhile pursuits in life.
