Let me start off with a few simple declarations:
1. I don't care how you choose to play the game - play it however you want.
2. I'm not telling you how to play the game - you're of your own free will to do whatever you want.
3. Stop trying to justify what you're doing - see declaration #1 - and i'm tired of hearing it.


With that out of the way, the one thing I have to say here, the truth of the matter is: you're cheating.
It really is that simple. You're using an improper method to advance through the game. That's cheating. End of story.
(There's other forms of cheating out there, and they're not what this post is about. So you're not advancing your A-Spec/B-Spec levels through duping. You're putting the cars you want in your garage faster than someone who doesn't dupe, thus advancing though the game.)
I'm sure all the haters will come out of the woodwork to dissect this post and try to dispute what I have to say. Good for them, I guess. I don't welcome it, because it's pointless.
I'm sure there will be post after post with the interpretation that I have issues with duping. (So what if I do? I'm entitled to, just as you're entitled to whatever your opinion is.) As far as this post is concerned, the only issue I have is with the lack of acknowledgment by dupers that duping is cheating.
I'm sure there will also be posts galore telling me that I'm on some sort of high horse preaching that they're doing something wrong. I'm not. This ain't about how one chooses to play the game, it's only about the acknowledgment that duping is cheating - nothing more, nothing less.
What I think is right or wrong is irrelevant. How I choose to play the game, and my reasons for such are also irrelevant. The same goes for what you think is right or wrong, and how/why you choose to play the game you choose.

In conclusion, don't tell me you're not cheating. Just admit that you are, and go back to playing the game.
Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to my B-Spec Bob who's grinding away the Dream Car Championship for me to earn more credits.

(Yes, it's not as skilled an approach as A-Spec is to playing the game. However, it is indisputably a proper method of playing the game that the game was designed with.)

hate em'. Just did a 2:02.347 at the Monza Vettel Challenge. Worked my ass off, lol. But I dont think the Dupers will ever see Level 38 on A-spec.
 
And you haven't read the AUP :lol:
 
I know of this guy that does this all the time. He's a super-duper.
 
I duped a couple cars for ****s and gigs but how does this effect the way YOU play the game? I feel like your getting bent out of shape over nothing. For the record I'm not a crazy duper with hundreds of accounts I think I duped maybe 5 cars it's really not a priority to me. Also this thread will probably be closed.
 
is this.....the grinders 'versus' dupers tread?

Wow, not a single capital letter used.

On topic. Hasn't this been done before?You state - It's their game, they can play it however they choose. So how does it affect you then?
 
You have yet to establish that duping is NOT an intended feature by PD... until then, you are just making assumptions.

It looks like you are declaring everyone is free to do whatever they want while you are also demanding they do something specific to satisfy your egotistical need to be correct and superior. That is a contradiction, at best.
 
But but but but....... Gran Turismo 5 is the perfect game, made by the perfect development studio, headed by the perfect man. Duping would not be in Gran Tursimo unless perfectionist Kaz deemed it so.
 
To the OP: go away loser.

I was gonna leave this whole post alone but....

seriously....

You believe that there could be a possibility that PD would intend that they expect players to violate Sony's TOS by creating multiple accounts to gift cars to copy them (etc).

seriously????????
 
It doesn't look like, that you behave acording to declarations #1 and #2. If you don't care, how others are playing the game, why are you posting this? Are you trying to start flame? Your post is quite meaningless, maybe this page help you to understand that http://piv.pivpiv.dk/
 
We need some anti-duping buttons or tshirts or something. If we don't take action now, who will? :lol:
 
The next person who creates one ot the pro-/anti-duping threads will be banned. Duping threads will now be treated the same way as GT5-FM3 comparison threads: as flame bait.
