Now, wait a minute. I agree Maphack is cheating, and therefore should not be used. But this guy is NOT using an entirely flawed argument. He's claiming that Maphack adds functionality to the game that makes it a BETTER game. You're all responding to this argument with "Maphack is wrong." That's a non sequitor.
Now, do you agree that if Bliz had allowed you to see monsters on the map, the game would be better (or at least be more rational - What kind of character can only see ten feet in each direction?)? I certainly do. (And no, I don't use Maphack, or any hacks.) That would be awfully neat to be able to do! It would patch what I consider to be a flaw in the game's design. Hence, I agree with this fellow's argument.
If you want to claim that his argument is flawed, you're gonna have to attack it by saying that the features Maphack adds do NOT improve the game. (Indeed, he does that himself when he says that the ability to see other character's equipment may be inappropriate.)
