Introduction

The below information should aid you in completing the following survey.


Purpose

The purpose of this survey is to determine a number of different variables concerning cheating and its effects on online gaming. The questions we will ask are designed to determine these factors:
1. How often and what types of games you engage in
2. Your own experience with cheating and whether it would cause you to quit playing a game
3. What types of game exploits are most problematic when playing games
4. What activities you consider cheating
5. Demographic information about you that will not serve to identify you, but will help us in analyzing the survey results.


Definitions

Exploit: A loophole in a game that is taken advantage of in order for someone to cheat.

Twinking: Giving items to lower level characters that they could not otherwise obtain.

Scripting: A program running in the background of a game to gain an unfair advantage.

Wall hack: An exploit or script that allows a player to see through walls; most commonly used in FPS games.
