A lesson for any of you who get even the slightest urge to cheat
15 Years ago when I was a little a**hole kid,
I got bored one day and decided to use a free aimbot I found on a sketchy website to ruin people’s fun in CSS. I got banned promptly. Like within the day. I never cheated again and felt bad, but this cheap and pointless mischievous act cost me my credibility to this day 15 years on. I was always good at cs and still sit around 17k and peaked last season around 19k.
I’m not seeking sympathy, I know it was deserved. Which is why I still use my main account that is VAC’d instead of creating a new one. I’m not hiding from anybody.
I regret it still so much, because even today no matter what I do in a game, whether it’s getting a sick ace, flicking 3 heads with a usp defending site, or whatever it is; a lot of times someone checks the API data and sees that I have a ban(it’s not shown publicly because it’s been so long). I get accused of course because nobody believes me with that type of stain. It’s a tough sell to even argue back with it and say “haha well that was 1000’s of days ago” there’s nothing I could say to convince them. Everybody knows the phrase “once a cheater always a cheater” is a very popular opinion.
Atp I just say “idk what to tell you just download the match”
Anyways, the moral of the story is IT IS NOT WORTH IT. It will follow you and has cursed my profile with 100’s of games and badges on CS and skins and all of it. Bans from private servers sometimes because they won’t even take the chance and I don’t even blame them with the state of the game right now. Don’t do it. I promise you it gets boring fast to play unfairly. It’s also just mean spirited. It takes away your credibility and people won’t believe you when you genuinely play skillfully.
Hopefully this helps someone!
