Easy does it, Mr. Orthodox. ;) This isn't black and white. The
designers need to meet the needs of all players. Using multiple
accounts, allowing family members to share, etc. are *completely*
separate issues from the abuses you mentioned. You can't lump them
together.

"Development" and "enjoyment" are subjective. Your enjoyment of the
game is (obviously) vastly different from that of a
powergamer. Neither of you have the right to claim the moral high
ground.

You're not the one losing the money. ;)
