My insight might be changed, but definition of this abuse will not. I mean if it isn't giving advantages I still see it as abuse of game mechanics.
If this particular case should be sanctionable or not, worth to pay attention or not, might change. It's not like I am a "rock" with unchanging views. It's just some of my opinions are hard "coded". Some aren't.
I myself despise narrow minded people, might some times be guilty of it myself. We're human after all.
