One of the most significant aspects of the game was SUPPOSED to be the
value of the better weapons , armor etc . 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.
