Very well said McB. If there was a weapon exploit that could one-shot enemies, nobody would be saying "just don't use it". If there was a loophole that made a spell cost 1AP, people would not write "So, it's just part of the game". And if someone found a bypass in the mechanics to let you teleport anywhere, you would not see people saying "If you just roleplay it, then it makes sence".
But here we have an exploit that bypasses one of the main mechanics in the game: Loot. You earn your loot; you battle to find loot; you explore to get loot; you save up to buy loot; you learn to craft to get loot. Or, you can just steal for zero repercussions and get all of the above quick, free and easy.
