Again, the line is fuzzy, but I tend to find something like duping is a more obvious "this shouldn't work" than "I used a skill implemented in the game and it works." It's also pretty questionable business to ban a huge pile of your customers for using said in game skill outside of where you intended it to be used.

Yeah, that makes the most sense to me.
