It's for cheating, period.
Probably trophies, too.
You can probably use it to:
- give yourself infinite HP/MP
- level up to Max Lv after killing only one enemy
- cheat horribly in PvP
- break online gaming
- etc.
It's definitely not a good thing.
You can't do most of those things with a save editor...
Y'all are seriously overestimating what can be done with a save editor in online games. This isn't cheat engine or an old school Gameshark, which are/were memory editors.For the most part, it just allows you to change one number to another. No infinite anything, no multipliers, no no-clip, no aim bots, no speed hacks, ect. RPGs would be the games that would most benefit from a save editor.
Most online games keep any data that could possible be used for cheating server side to begin with so this is largely a non-issue for multi-player games. And for the handful of games that don't do that, maybe this will finally push them to do so as it's been the standard practice for a long while now.
