Why do Novice players think pros cheat?
- I think that one of the reasons could be that when the unfortunate happens and a pro-player cheats, it gets so much publicity since the pro scene gets the most coverage - and nothing wrong with that. I don't think I have ever read PGI coverage of an event where they mention "an incident" in a Novice game, the opposite is true for pro games - correct me if i'm wrong...
Also with all eyes on the pros, it would be harder to get away with cheating! Before the smack-talk starts - let me make this crystal clear - I do not advocate cheating in any shape or form!
About cheating being socially acceptable - I don't think it is. I don't know anyone who accepts a cheater, this thread actually proves that it is not socially acceptable - as it shouldn't be! Sure there are a few rotten aples - as there is in any competitive sport - usually they don't get that far....
