I'll usually just use them for fun also, first finish the game properly, than do whatever you want. But!.. would this be considered cheating, for instance if i were to play on a cracked server with adjusted rates? I personally sometimes prefer adjusted rates, not bothered leveling up to 100 or 200 in a few months or even years if i could do it in a few hours or days with easy, you can still enjoy the game. :) (sometimes)
So if you signed up, you would most likely get a beta key for starcraft 2?
Is it actually real??
to me i think guides count as cheating, as you're not really finishing the game properly. But games which have been set horribly that's an exception. So basciall guides are is a form of cheating.
