I do agree Gordon that what Chad is doing is perfectly acceptable, noble
even. Given that the normal enjoyment of discovering the all powerful
artifact is gone by cheating, voluntarily playing baby-sit for newbies
is something most players won't do.

The problem, though, is that the people who follow the outlined
philosophy are rare. In other words, Chad is an exception. The majority
of the cheaters don't have so noble playing philosophy. There is
only one 'good' cheater for every 100 bad ones. Given that fact, I'd
rather not allowing cheat of any form at all. The cost is too high.
