By breaking the agreed-upon rules you gain resources and others lose resources (energy, morale, money, w/e). That the activity impacts the cheater in other ways is beside the point if its a dick move or not.
I don’t mean this to come off as offensive but maybe you should talk with someone?
you: author is a dick
Someone else: disagree, cheating is bad
You: when cheating I learnt things
Me: cheating is still bad
You: The world has bigger problems than cheating can’t you see that?
You’re diverting and changing the topic in every post. It would be very hard to professional, or even have a social dialogue, in this way. I’m not sure what you’re after. But I would encourage you to look into how to work with people instead of going against them.
Ah, isn't that something politicians and countries around the world always do? And you think game cheating is a bigger problem?
