The irony is that even the guy who cheats will likely regret having done so after some time when he accomplishes too much within the game in a short time.

I've noticed that when I play a game like Final Fantasy Tactics (which I play pretty frequently since it's the best game ever made, ever), if I start a new game, play it totally legit, I enjoy the heck out of it and work to accomplish stuff in the game. But when I make use of the glitches to cheat (duping items, learning abilities for free), I just build a super team of characters in the first 2 hours of gameplay, try them out in a fight or two, then get bored with it and never play that save again. The same is true of a game like The Sims. When I build a house by using the money cheat a whole bunch, I spend a lot of time designing an awesome house since I have unlimited money. But then I don't really play the game after designing the house. When I start a game with no cheats, I end up getting a lot more enjoyable time playing than I do when I use cheats.

I'm sure the same must be true of EverQuest. Having never cheated on EverQuest, I can't say this for sure, but it seems like this would be the case.
