It's not about "winning" the game. It's about a sense of accomplishment. "Pay to win" is a figure of speech that you understand perfectly, so I'm not going to waste my time explaining it to you.
When a goal requires effort and planning to reach you gain a sense of accomplishment when you reach that goal. However, when you can reach that goal far quicker using a cheap gimmick, which is what that tool is, then that effort ceases to form the basis for a sense of accomplishment, it simply becomes a waste of time.
That is exactly what scripting and duping does as well. I could invest the hours practising to gain the skill necessary to heal through the concerted attacks of multiple opponents, or perhaps timing a devastating combination of attacks to gain a kill as a dexxer. But when I see someone who simply fires up a script that allows them to do the same thing, or better, with far less practice, that sense of accomplishment and satisfaction that I might have gained is replaced with a realization that the time I spent practising and honing my skills, was wasted.
It's basic human psychology. A sense of accomplishment always entails some kind of comparison. If you have nothing to compare to, then you have no way of measuring whether you have performed a task well. Games are intrinsically competitive, and pvp specifically in UO is highly competitive, it's all about doing better than someone else. To claim otherwise is ridiculous. And putting together a "suit" that allows you to compete at a high level is a part of that competitive process.
