I think you know what we meant. It's cheating because he is doing something that F2P accounts are not supposed to be capable of doing. Yes, a F2P account can upgrade to a P2P account and get all the same stuff as a P2P player.
But F2P account is supposed to be restricted in what they get. If one player exploits the game to get around those restrictions, he most certainly is cheating. The fact that a F2P player has guild BoA and/or P2P enchants is cheating, despite the idea that it's nothing a normal P2P can't get.
The problem is that other F2P cannot get them unless they also exploit the game (cheat) and most F2P players would not be able to pull off the exploit anyway simply because of the nature by which it's being done (relying on GMs). The rules of the game allow you to play for free up to level 20 without a sub fee or a trial period limit. You are supposed to pay for your game client and a sub fee if you want access to anything you can't get as a F2P.
Exploiting the game to get P2P stuff as a F2P is probably a bannable offense. Let's hope that the guy doesn't get reported and banned.
Because cheating is wrong.
So, now, this is defined as cheating. It's funny how all twinks post-Cata has became so moral and ethical about all these "unfair advantages". Before, everyone had 450 mining, leg-, shoulder- and head enchants which weren't intended for twinks - and still it was used and let alone accepted by everyone in the twinking community. Two more recent examples are pyrium wep chain, which has been OP as hell for anyone that's able to have ToT on their target, or the engineering bug in early Cata which made 60s able to get engineering stuff that weren't intended.
Hell, even crusader, 15 agi, lifestealing aren't intended for anyone below level 60 - does that make every single twink (or leveler) an exploiter? No, it doesn't.
Somone who successfully gets their quest reward changed is, by your definition, an exploiter as well then, I guess? As, since Cata, it's against the GMs' rules to restore or swap quest rewards.
My point is that you need to be consistent in your bashing of "unintended" items or enchants, And this does not only apply to you, but to anyone - you can't say one unintended glitch/expolit/bug is okay, and hate on another exploit without looking like a fullblood hypocrite. Hell, if you were to be consistent you'd bash ppl with GF'd gear because they are having an unfair advantage over non-GF'd ppl - and I truly doubt you or anyone else would do that (except for in the 29 bracket ofc then).
