Never really understood why people frown upon exploiting glitches/bugs.. Your just better at getting the game to do what you want than them.
Presumably when you play a game that has things like walls and other obstacles part of the reason you play it is because you take enjoyment out of skillfully using them to your advantage. It's part of the gameplay, in other words, or you'd just be playing BZflags.
Other people coming into the game have an expectation that everyone is also playing the game for these same reasons, or they'd also be playing BZflags.
Then you get someone coming along who basically finds they are so bad at the game that they can't play it when on vaguely equal footing with other players, so they only get enjoyment if they hold an unfair advantage. These same people wouldn't enjoy obstacle-less BZflags because things would be equal. They also wouldn't enjoy it if everyone else used the same exploits, because again things would be equal.
If you believe that people should have an equal chance at playing, then you might as well prevent glitches etc. - because then people who want to play without obstacles can play BZflags, and those who want to play with can play COD or whatever. IE, you make the game match what the developers wanted to achieve, and the reasons people bought the game in the first place.
