Of course using that logic, I can assume you don't lock your doors, you don't use any sort of anti-virus or firewall, and you never worry about securing anything of value.

Afterall, they can ALL be bypassed, so why even bother in the first place?


I do them all, but I don't expect them to block all intruders, if someone really wants to get into my system or house they will.

I don't instantly presume "the house is locked, it must be secure". Were as some players presume "he is using RG, he doesn't cheat".

Besides, RG isn't about protecting me, it's about 'protecting' the servers, so your example doesn't really give a decent parallel.



Exactly, you know taking those precautions don't prevent ALL occurances of being bypassed, yet you still use them. They are there for two reasons, being a) it helps protect your interests and b) it's better than not having anything at all. However all forms of security have a flaw: they can be bypassed.

By your own admittance:
Quote:

Player + RenGuard = Can Cheat (harder to do I admit, but definately possible)
Player + No RenGuard = Can Cheat (easily)



It is harder to cheat than if there is no Renguard, as it will prevent all but the hardcore people from cheating.

It gives a perfect parallel, you just failed to see it. One stops people that would like to prohibit your enjoyment of life regarding personal interests, and the other one stops people that would like to prohibit your enjoyment of life regarding personal interests. I'll leave you to decide which one is Renguard, and which one is the "other" security feature.
