Research "cheating in online games"

I was contacted recently by a student looking for some help in researching why people use online cheats. He wanted to post a survey that gathered information anonymously, so I said I would post it for him.

If you have some minutes spare then please help him and do his survey.


Quote:
Dear gamers,

I'm a student from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven). At this moment, I'm doing research on cheating in online games for my Master's degree in Communications.

To get my results, I made a web survey to get to know the motives from the cheaters. I really want to find as much cheaters as possible to fill out my web survey. It is totally anonymous and neither e-mail nor names are asked. The survey will only take about 5 or 10 minutes of your time. Note this: it is not my intention to pass any judgement on the use of cheats.

I’m only looking for players that have used or are using cheats in online games, particularly in MMORPGs, online First-Person Shooters and/or online Real-Time Strategy games. So I’m only looking for cheaters in one or more games of these three genres.

You can find the web survey via this link: http://soc.kuleuven.be/limesurveytes....php?sid=67177

Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,

Ventage

It was a bit long, and it didn't suit a cheat developer.

same.. I think one was even repeated. Also there are some parts where its suitable for the developer (multiple choice, in the end the exact reason)

The questions are repeated (usually rephrased a bit) on any test that you are supposed to agree/disagree with, simply because your position may change because of the phrasing or because you're unsure.

Doing this ensures someone's position on things and whether or not their results could have some trust put in them.

You can link it to any site/forum where i can find people who used cheats in online games of these three genres. I want to find as much gamers as possible.

It is not only about developers or coders. Just cheating in general.
