Yet no one considers this cheating (it is) and don't consider what this does to other players in the game...[snip] Old quote, but... When racing/pitting/cutting corners against real people on real tracks it's cheating. When racing in CAREER mode in RR3 it's not, or FM would have made the game penalize you. You're not hurting actual people or even their online personas. Borrowing upgrades IS cheating, as evident by FM actually trying to do something to stop it. It's an exploit that isn't allowed in the game.

In OMP, I race just like I would against real people on a real track... aka considerate of damage and disqualification. I've even let people pass me back if I felt I made a dirty pass. In my experience, 90% of OMP races are tainted by cheaters who "win" by hacking... not racing (not even racing dirty, just plain hacking.) I've had very few OMP races that I considered "fun" which is why I avoid it like the plague.

I'm sure many players figure (like a lot of actual race drivers seem to) "It's my job to cheat and your job to catch me." I personally feel this is BS and feel if you have to cheat you didn't win. Even if they didn't catch you. You know you're a cheater and must live (and die) with that knowlege.

Cheers race fans!
