I call it the game.
When SWG came out, I found a tree in a far off galaxy/planet that enabled me to get some polearm exp that was unbelievable. Of course, if a dinosaur popped up in eyesight, even if it was just a speck at the end of the screen, I better hide directly behind that tree and stop dicking around. Because if I don't, it will aggro and it will own me.
I had a frat leadership convention(I know), and I almost canceled because of this find. Came back and they had changed the tree and taken away the exp. from the people who really got 'abused' it.
In the end, that appeared to be a bug, but who knows that when they're doing that. You're talking a vast world in CF, if I find something that I can use, I'm going to use it. That's what the Staff is there for, to say hey, that mushroom is too good we didn't intend for it to be that way, let's change it. Not hey, you were using a mushroom and cheating.
Cheating is pretty definite. Finding something like that is not cheating.
Casting magic missile with a magic missile edge that throws up three unspeaks is something you want to report. Finding some food that provides you stone skin is not.
By the way, I realize you are not specifically linking abusing something and cheating, I just wanted to throw this out there.
