Yes, I'm well aware of some folks opinion about my lack of grey matter, and that's fine, but I'm talking about a specific situation here. That being: Should I have used exploits?
In most games, I got no problem playing with cheat codes (Remember the old Shogun: Total War? Infinite Gold FTW) but with Entropia, since real money (specifically other people's real money) is involved, I decided early on to play as legitimately as possible.
My results so far have been fine, but I've skipped many, many cases where I would have increased my ped card, skills, gear, etc. by refusing to use certain practices.
I never trapped, VTOL hunted, exploited certain flaws I saw in the system, etc.
7 years of doing this, I'm still seeing MA remain lax on punishing cheaters. This isn't just about the summoning issue. To this day, you have to screw up pretty big to get banned for VTOL hunting, or just about anything else. And usually you still get to keep what you unfairly "won".
So I'm wondering, if I skip the issue of my pride for playing fair, is there any real reason not to step over to the dark side?
