Regardless of what happened in L2, you're obviously talking about doing it in general. This quote directly offends any gamer who's looking for a fair game. You've showed that you neither have any ethical gamer principles, nor do you care about your comrades (what you've just mentioned is obviously nothing but a method of silencing your conscience).

There's a unbreakable gamer principle and unwritten rule. If you do break that rule, you fail as a competitive gamer, no matter what.
You can cheat in your single player games all you want, but as soon as it gets competitive, you're directly destroying the game. If that game has completely unbearable parts, but some goods sides you could avoid by buying ingame currency - anyone who's doing that would just be stupid by supporting the publisher and those nyerker RMTs just for their own "fun" (I don't know... to me that's just being a noobish fool) and good.
And, of course, by no means is this an excuse for supporting RMTs or cheating.

By saying what you did, you've proved that you fall under that category, because you also have said that you would do it again in the future - not only if the game has unbearable parts (which as said, is still no excuse), but also just if there's an opportunity given and other people do it, too (that's such a dumb reason). And all that just to make you be on the top list of your server.
I'm not going to yell out the reason why you probably would do almost anything for being one of the best in a MMO, because I want to save myself the hassle of wannabe "I know everything/You can't know that, saying it loudly counts as direct insult" postings from several members.

Do whatever you wish to do, but do never again call yourself a fair competitive gamer in your current state, because currently you couldn't be further away from it.
