They are in a way gaining an award from doing it. It's not something that you inspire others to do. Is exploiting a bug or glitch allowable in gaming tournaments with cash prizes or any kind of rewards? Is it considered cheating? Is it something to commend them for doing? I see that you're trying to get me to understand it from that community's perspective but my opinion is already fixed on this. I'll just rephrase "It's being outside the normal game" to "it's being done outside of the intended game by the developers". Like I said, I won't offer any commendation for resorting to using to exploits to win. If you think differently than me on it then to each their own. |
No, that is not ok at all. This is Any%. If you dislike pole vault, would go approach pole vault enthusiasts and claim that their medals are stupid and that their jumps aren't "real" because they use a pole? That is horribly disrespectful and stupid.
You have every right to dislike Any%, but it is what it is. The category is designed with certain rules, it IS A THING. That whole discussion is so stupid, non-speedrunners go in and claim that the work they do is pointless and their achievements worthless. Think about that for a second! Try that train of thought on ANYTHING in this world! IT WON'T WORK
