Buying items on ebay IS cheating. And the dupes have nothing to do with it.
Of course of 2 players play chess, and one buys a victory from the other, then both players agree with it and there is nothing wrong going on. (this may be "foolish" but that is an other discussion)
But sepose you are playing a game with more than 2 players, lets say... monopoly!
You and 2 opponands; Op1 pay's REAL monney to op2 for doing certain moves that will put op1 in a better position, even better than your position.
How would you like playing monopoly with these two ppl?
And what if you say something about it and thay replay: "that is your choice, its you who desides you don't want to pay me real monney to win. Don't be mad at me for it"
This may be true, but aren't you playing a diffent game then?
Getting a gift in d2 is a legal action, but paying someone to give you a gift in game is the same thing as with the monopoly example above. (if it is practical to scan for this type of cheating is not part of this discussion)
And if you talk about the entertianment value, as you guys have been doing up to now;
Isn't it really he same discussion as with hacking and duping?
if you really wanted to avoid the booring parts of the process, then why not create an open char and use an editor to do so for free!?
