The real question is: Does it hurt you?
No.
If it is scritpting oh yes, man if it DOES hurt other players playing........
A thousand times !!
How so ?
Because it devalues a player's time worth.
The thing that is worth the most is time.
Everything one can make back but NOT time, the time gone is gone forever and will NEVER come back.
Time is priceless.........
So, those players who script can actually create something in the game while doing something else.
That is, they do NOT use their time worth when creating that game item because they used their time otherwise, doing else in their real life.
Players who actually were in the game, playing, instead, when they created any item they bound their time's worth to those items. Precious, priceless, valuable time worth,
Now, the players scripting items will sell those items they created with their extra time at a fraction of what players who actually invested their time worth could be able to price them.
Hence, they get undersold, and a LOT.
That is, as I see it, players who script take the time away from players who spent time playing the game making their time worth less than what it really is, instead, worth to them.
Scripters devalue other players' playing time.
Hence, it DOES hurt other players playing and also, IMHO, immensely............
Why ?
Because there is nothing else worth as much as time.
Time is the only thing we cannot make back, unfortunately............
