This line of thought leads into another problem found in several strategy gaming communities and networks. Although not strictly cheating, it is quite common to see average or even seasoned players basically hustling new players. This is especially common on gaming networks where a ranking system is present. The more experienced player will enter a newbie chat lobby, or attract the attention of green players, pretend they also are new to the game, and practically con the new player into playing a ranked game. Once in game, they will proceed to annihilate their bewildered opponent, and take the points.
Some people simply find it fun to take advantage of and humiliate others.
