The only "contest" is between blizzard maintaining a HACK-FREE realms and having people, like you, use CHEATS!!!
There is only one redemable feature about maphack that I could possibly justify: The fact that it stopped drophackers! I personally know of at least 6 people who used maphack just for that sole purpose alone (at least that's what they've told me). So, from their point of view, blizzard has allowed the drop-hackers to kill off everyone, including their fan-base, in hardcore. With most drophackers having multiple cd-keys*, whats the stop them from going on a killing rampage now? And all the legit players who don't have a drop-hack protection? Is this fair? If this is the way Blizzard deals with hacks, I dont think I'll be putting a single dollar into WoW when it comes out. No, my cash is on Guild Wars, thank you.
* I also know of people who go to shops, such as EBX, where they DO HAVE a return policy and will purchase games just for their CD-Keys and return them. Also, if they own a cd-key that gets banned, they will just sell the CD on ebay with claims its in mint condition, forcing those purchase it to have to buy another CD-key from blizzards web-site. I also don't think this is very fair. A no-win situation for legit players, IMO.
