Ranting About Those Who Buy Jtags Purely For Modded Lobbies Options

[soulwarrior]

I posted this on another forum but I figured I'd post it here too:

I don't mean to act holier than thou about this, but man it's depressing to realize how many people bought jtags and/or jtagged it themselves, simply to do cod lobbies. I didn't realize how bad it was until the ping patch came out and then xlink started to pick up. So many people have no idea how to do even the simple things like using xellous, how to create a freeboot image, and even what knowing what the root of a drive is. I keep finding myself saying in my mind, "freakin A, did you really waste your money buying a jtagged system just for call of duty?" I say buying because more often than not, people who get jtags for this purpose don't usually jtag it themselves. Jtags have so much more to offer than cod lobbies and it's really depressing to see them going to waste. I say waste because once access to kv's dwindles (there are hundreds of thousands to a few million jtaggable consoles spread through the world that will never be jtagged), these jtagged 360 will end up collecting dust because the owner doesn't know its true potential. I guess it's not my money, so who am I to judge right?

I have really bittersweet feelings about this.

On one hand, this is the main reason why you can make easy money selling your keyvaults. I bought 10 scrap mobos on ebay, oven baked them for a few hours, and then jtagged the system and made some fast cash.

but on the other hand, it gets really annoying when you offer to jtag a system and then get hammered with questions about game modding. It really pisses me off. One time a guy called me on the phone and talked with me for half an hour about his MW2 money making scheme. Next time I wont be as polite, and just hang up.

It is true, most people dont seem to care about the emulators and homebrew apps. Although to be honest, the only things I care about are moving along very slowly, and while I am glad for the progress that has been made, it is kind of depressing. All I really want my jtag to do is to be able to play games, movies, n64 games, and music right off my hard drive. I think it will get there eventually but it will be a long time before its up to snuff

There has also been an influx of noobs wanting jtags to play the leaked halo reach
