Naw dude. I'm not arguing with you the right to exploit a bug or not.
All I'm saying is that most bugs are easily recognizable as bugs.
Therefore when you use them to gain advantage, you are exploiting them.
Exploits and bugs are similar.

Now if you go exploiting bugs, that's your prerogative. I for one will
report any that I find. They are not punishing you until they ban you
from the game. Obviously they haven't yet, so don't complain to me. Go
exploit away! Have a ball!

Now about wizards...
