Care to go into detail about how the cheaters have affected your fun?

I actually was wondering about this question myself.
Like, now that they're all banned, my experience doesn't really feel that different. I still don't have thousands of plat just like I didn't when the cheaters were going on with their cheating selves. I don't have much luck with kiting in any zone that I try to kite in, in the same way that I wasn't great at kiting back when these guys were duping Fungi Tunics.
... Maybe I'm just lousy at EQ, hah!
I don't know, but really, I can't figure out how this type of cheating directly affected my experience. I'm sure that many other non-cheaters could make the case that the cheaters diminished the experience for them. The truth is, I probably bought gear off of a cheater at a discount price that only a cheater could afford to sell stuff for. I don't know this for sure, and I actually don't have any
great gear, so I guess I probably didn't do this.
But now that I think about it further, I do understand why cheating is so frowned upon. If it was accepted, everyone would be doing it and those of us who weren't would not have a game to play when we logged in. And then you'd end up with a watered down version of EQ reminiscent of playing Diablo 1 on the old battle.net thing, where absolutely
everyone was using a trainer program.
I guess what I'm asking is for someone to explain how these players using these prohibited programs have affected my experience on P99, and what can I expect to change now that they're not doing it anymore.
