    Practical: Objective measure. It is the same end result. So, if I take a shortcut to get to the exact same end, that's all right. This is assuming everything about the build is fair (no 99 divine blessings, modded health, etc).

    Moral: Subjective measurer. There is a "moral" way to play this game. You should play it proper and by how it is designed.

    The best argument, IMO, for the Moral side is the coop argument. When you make a build from the ground up, you are more likely to summon help, or to offer help to get humanity or souls. If you glitch your toon, this is less likely to happen. Therefore, you are decreasing the online co-op opportunities.
    I got to disagree with you their Reim. As long *** it doesn't affect MY game you can mod your save all you want but if they then invade you with a character with modded health then i can agree with your point. To summarize my point, don't you agree that if they just mod themselves items for PvP, then as long as you don't increase any of your own characters abilities it would be ok?

    That depends on what it is and what they do with it.

    If they give themselves something that isn't in the game, then no.

    If they give themselves Lightning +5 and Chaos +5 weapons on a starting level character in Burg, Parish, or Depths, then no.

    Other stuff is probably fine, but it's just easier to not make exceptions.

    While that is true, i don't mind as long as it helps their pvp character. (Unless it's like a SL1 with a chaos hand axe)

    Exactly, the worst part is a few players actually think that's completely ok. They have the nerve to state a normal +0 vs chaos +5 / lightning +5 is fair!

    Also, I don't mind it either, but only if they don't use it to make a starting level elemental build or something similar.

    I used the BB to give 3 normal +15 weapons and upgraded armor to my new PvP build, but I didn't use the stuff until I got the Lorvessal and found the Very Large Ember. I also used them when I was invaded by people who obviously BB glitched.

    I also used the BB to give a Moonlight Greatsword +0 to my mage, but I didn't use it until I beat Seath. It was just a fail safe, and it was a good thing I did. My phantoms and I couldn't cut the tail off.

    I don't think it was unfair, but it was technically cheating, and I won't try to defend myself if someone wants to hate me for it.

    Fatty - that would fall under the "Practical" argument I mentioned. I also didn't say which argument I agreed with (practical vs moral), just grouping the main points of view.

    However, the practical argument is slightly flawed. By doing the modding, you are less likely to do coop. Since you have an insta-build, you are less likely to summon others than if you were making a build from scratch. This does negatively affect others.

    Yes, it could almost be avoided if you still co-op'd a lot for some strange reason, but yes.

    This and low level griefing are my only 2 concerns.

    Is no one concerned about taking shortcuts in terms of gaining pvp experience? In other words: say you're fairly new have just transitioned into mediocrity and you fight a guy who's played the game half as long as you... would you be ok if he had twice as much experience pvp'ing and had been able to try out 10 different builds in pvp without having to struggle through pve (other than to gain access to pvp areas) in the time it took you to do 3 characters because he used save mods?

    Well, personally yes. Because that would mean I technically have more PvE experience. There is really no point in getting an angry at a player's good fortune so long he isn't doing it at your own expense.

    This is a post directed to Hugh, I'll make sure to make a future post related to the actual topic question...when I can think of enough words to make a sound argument.

    If the shortcut doesn't put me at a disadvantage in terms of stats and gear then I'm ok with it. When I type stats I mean the stats are legit and not edited.
