Just a thought I was playing around with in my head, but when you find a cheat or a highly exploitable mechanic you can use to win the game, is it something that is praise worthy or is it simply the devs failing to check the games better. I mean we talk about how broken some mechanics are in FF like the Junction System, FFT Ninjas, and characters like Sabin and Cloud, but is their use in a game good or bad for the enjoyment of the game?

If a game has a customization system that is poorly balanced and makes victory easy, is it a bad thing? How about a tough boss who can be defeated by exploiting their algorithm or killed prematurely? In Dark Souls 1's DLC, you can kill the ultimate hard boss of it all without ever entering his boss room. Is that a cheat or should it be a sign the player is simply making the best of the tools at their disposal. Is there a right way to play a game and all the hacks and cheats player find in-game simply just that, a cheat. Just some food for thought.
