I'm the sort of person who buys lifetimes for MMOs... the only one I didn't (cause it happened right after HGL) that I'm kicking myself over is LotRO...
are you talking about changing the UI or the gameplay?
I wouldn't mind companies making "alternate User Interfaces" for visually impaired people, or adding subtitles for audio impaired people. I WOULD mind if it was altering gameplay... Your ability to control your avatar or crosshair is part of the fun of games to me. If we slowed down FPS to the point that anybody should be able to play it, it wouldn't really be much of a FPS anymore... next they'd remove stage complexity so that those unable to memorize the stage can compete on the same as the level as those who can.
But yes to UI and Subtitles, definitely. No to anything that would alter the core gameplay.
PS: Yes it's extreme circumstances, but once you head down that road you don't seem to turn back.
I don't currently play... but when I did, I probably wouldn't have known it was an exploit. I just would've joined a group and gone through the instance like everybody else.
It'd be hard to determine who joined them as a pickup, and who was actually in on the exploit...
