In this way people who truly worked at the game might develop very strong characters while those who were unwilling or unable to would not. The duping has made gold and other items has made them virtually valueless. Giving high level items to people just starting the game accomplishes the following : 1. Ruining the game for the beginer by removing the excitement experienced when a valuable item is earned. 2. Completely destroying the concept of item value for everyone in the game. 3. Makes the giver feel important at the expense of the game. So yes , I have a problem with people who do not think the effect of their actions through. Let me just say that I am no anti-cheat crusader. The cat is out of the bag and it is already too late for this game. What you do with the game you purchased is your business. To sit there and claim that your actions don't have a negative effect on others though , is rationalization. Not even a good rationalization at that. -jls
