i still wouldn't mind if it's used for speedrunning or something like that, something like this :

 

Now, I'm very sure that there is no way you would expect any gamer to say no in that kind of situation right?

of course, it's a speedrun where every single millisecond matters 🙂

Yeah exactly, I do get into that sort of thing from time to time and it's really an awesome feelings most of the time.

There are also games where the people abuse certain aspects of online farming. Sometimes gamers find ways to keep the farming going for more than it should, and I think some people are banned for that. 

So if you encounter a glitch in an online game that helps you farm a lot more than you're normally able to, bear in mind, that could result in a ban. 

Game owners don't think twice when it comes to banning gamers that farm. That is one aspect that they don't joke with since they know farming give undue advantage to those that do it.

How would they ban gamers when they are the ones that made it possible to farm? If they want it off, they can do that.

Sometimes, such decisions can not be likened to what the developers want. It can be a backend issue that some few gamers discovered. So, using it to gather resources is undue advantage.

I don’t think so. If the game allows it within the rules and scope, it’s just grinding but without manually grinding while you do the clicks etc.

Seriously, it's what the video game allows, so there is nothing like breaking the rules in it. It's all up you to participate in it or not.

It's just lazy gamers who can't do anything but are very good at complaining about what others were able to do with their commitment.

As far as I'm concerned, people are always welcome to have their own opinions on anything, but as for me on farming, it's 100% not wrong. I do it whenever I have the time for it.

That's the point. Although some may argue that they are aware of other cheating loopholes and they didn't close it but would ban you if they caught you using them.

It's all down to what the developers allows to be legal or legitimate in the game, otherwise everything else is cheat.

Unless the game's developers close up framing of resources in games, it's completely legal to do and no one's ever going to stop me from doing it.

That's virtual arts, you can't compare to real life, that's why farming wouldn't be considered illegal. Only when it is abused, then you call it abnormal.

I'm currently farming cash gold resources in Top Eleven Football Manager right now when others are sleeping. Tomorrow, one lazy baffon would come and say that I cheated.
