Using Marrowwalk boots and not putting any points in Bone Prison is bug exploitation. If you were OK with using the "lightning hose" on Rogue mercs prior to 1.10, then you'll probably be OK with this, too.
If I knew a key combination to hit that would make all the monsters on the screen die instantly, I wouldn't use that either. (Huh, that example reminds me of the Armageddon spell from Diablo 1, especially those ridiculous duped Archangel Staves of Armageddon with 255 charges or whatever...) What's the point of playing a game if you're going to cheat?
I remember playing Age of Empires with anonymous folks on line. Very often, when I'd be marching my army into their town and moments away from victory I'd see the chat screen pop up with "lumberjack" and whatever single-player cheat codes they were trying to use. Fortunately, the single-player cheat codes didn't work in mult-player games. Still, each time I saw this, I had to ask the other player attempting this, "Why bother to play if you're going to cheat? What have you learned? What have you actually accomplished? Where's the fun in doing that?" The reply was usually a curt, "***k **u, ****ot" followed by a disconnect.
Is the Marrowwalk exploit or any other bug exploitation cheating? That's open to interpretation. I wouldn't exploit this particular bug, myself.
