SE created FFXI as a Role-Playing Game [RPG.] If you play FFXI as a true RPG, then Cheating is literally impossible.
This statement doesn't make any sense. Cheating is never impossible. Cheating is also only an actual problem in a multiplayer environment, because otherwise, the only person you're cheating is yourself out of the experience that was intended by the creator. Offline, I say, hey, if you find that fun, go to town- I think you're robbing yourself of the best possible experience, but it's your game/money/whatever. Online though, certain kinds of actions can also affect the experience of others and thus you have to give those others consideration, and thus at the minimum, doing so says one lacks regard for those other than oneself. It's this basic lack of consideration that has made our culture crappier.
