discuss it here, some hackers believe that you should just join their crew and hack as well, what is your overall view on hacking and how it affects the mario kart community

Un-fair advantage,not playing the game the way its supposed to be played

How could hacking be fair? You have an advantage so it'll never be fair.

Hacking is almost never fair (unless everybody racing is using the same cheat card or equiv.). Other than that, hacking is totally UNfair.

The only real nuisance I can really see is the messing up of the online leaderboards which I find annoying. As far as the occasional hacker & his continuous star or bullet bill or whatever go yes it's a pain but it's only a minor nuisance, not a reason to give up WW or anything. Some people seem to have over-reacted somewhat.

people think it's fair and that it's your fault for not going with the flow

Unfair but fun if your in a full custom room with everyone hacking

It gives the hacker an unfair advantage during online races.

It Depends On What They're Hacking.

If They Hack Bannanas, Who Cares?

But If They Hack Stars, Thats Bad.

Now what kind of question is this?
Of course it isn't.
If you're gonna hack, do it in private rooms, not public ones.
Sheesh.
