Petition: When an activation comes around...

[TippeX]

look dude, no matter how u paint it here is how it works...

gcw supplies no-cd exe's , trainers etc to the end user, with the presumption that the end user has the original cd/dvd, serial codes and so on... obviously this is open to abuse, but theres no real way to police it....

activation of a product requires inet usually, and the protected file, once activated, the protection does not bother you anymore... and to actually activate your product you need a legitimate key/serial/whatever which is needed to authenticate to the server, so gcw supplying activation bypasses etc will most likely only be of use to a warez user who has not got a legitimate key/serial/etc... there is no other real need for it for a normal user

if you have an issue with activation, you have a few choices

1. contact the games support department, they may have another solution
2. dont buy the game

oh and a petition usually requires signatures, as well as a form detailing what the petition is about, as well as notification to the company the petition is directed at...

i see no petition here...

as for the ms. skills on a resume, i can boil a cup of coffee, i can ride a bike using no hands, i can add 2+2, should i put that on my resume?... see the analogy?

also if you're going to try and keep an argument/discussion going, don't go out on wild tangents, complete off the range of the initial topic and try and turn this to 'better' your argument... ie: you 'bounce' from activation -> ms skills on a resume (total bullshit, outside of the conv), then you bounce back, you also use 'final point' and then detail 3 other points ;p.. as for I cling to my belief that this is a forum by users for users and that rules are flexible... i think your belief is crap, the forum rules are NOT flexible, try infringing some.... then you use dabs analogy to try and better your argument, which primarially is about activation bypasses, yet you try and cite no-cd as a similarity.. it isnt...

my recommendation -> drop your current views, research the site, see how the rules work, find other sites that offer activation bypasses etc.. build up more information for your argument, then present it.... dont build it up as you go along, like you are doing, as it makes you look foolish

@ Tippex

Why should I bother to come up with other arguments for my point if you do not even address the valid points I have already made. Instead you simply take the easy road of "the rules are there to be obeyed - if you don't like them go away and that's the end of the line". I am sorry to say but this is so petty in my opinion.

As for MS, it is not off the point at all. You cannot just "don't buy" WinXP because employers expect you to have MS skills and if you contact support, they will laugh their head off. Hence, people are being forced to endure activation.

Regarding the petition, you are right of course. Strictly speaking, you direct petitions to governmental bodies and there are many formalities to be obeyed. GCW forum is not a governmental body. Feel free to dwell on this inadequacy.

BTW, please do not forgot to add on your resume that you tend to ridicule others and resort to using swear words ("bullshit") when you are lacking the ability to make a good case. I cannot take someone with such a behaviour seriously and will ignore you effective immediately.

Yours Faithfully,

Just

@justmeatgcw
What a load of jibberish!! I got bored very quickly reading your first post and I didnt even bother finishing it!!

When trying to make a point keep it short, therefore readers will not lose interest!

If you dont like the way things are done here then simply dont visit, no one is forcing you to!!

Do NOT start another thread on this subject, it is a waste of time.

Damn, I got bored, too... Anyway, the whole point of using a crack - supposing that you have the original CD/DVD - is to protect that original CD/DVD from getting broken, because of constant usage. Activation needs to be done once - if you manage to break your original CD/DVD during those few minutes, well, you're too clumsy to do it yourself; get a replacement and get your dad/mom/sister/brother/spouse do it for you and wash the dishes in the meantime...

To be on the safe(st) side (possible), GameCopyWorld and FileForums supports only those no-CD/DVD patches that are absolutely necessary to play (not install!) the game from a backup CD/DVD or, preferably, even without that.

Ohhh, and sorry, the forum rules are not for discussion (by forum members)! This forum is a good dictatorship rather than a bad democracy...
