Hey there! Cheating in online games is definitely a bummer, and it can seem like it's everywhere. Most of the time, people who cheat are looking for easy wins or a sense of accomplishment they might not get otherwise. It's kind of like cutting in line to get ahead quickly.

Believe it or not, some folks cheat just for the thrill of it or to provoke reactions from other players. They're often looking for attention or validation, even if it’s negative.

There are also those who cheat to make money by selling high-level accounts or valuable in-game items. It's a bit like a black market in the virtual world.

Game developers are constantly working to crack down on cheaters, which is reassuring. Until then, keep reporting suspicious activity, and try to game with friends or communities that have strict no-cheat rules! Stay positive and keep having fun.
