No, I didn’t.
Here’s what I said:
Got to use/abuse many sources of easy Honor progress that are no longer available or sheer exploits
That’s:
- Got to use many sources of easy Honor progress that are no longer available, or
- Got to abuse many sources of easy Honor progress that are no longer available, or
- sheer exploits
Only the last part involves anything remotely comparable to cheating.
I’m not sure why you’re attributing a thought to me that I didn’t have, and didn’t say?
Several people specifically went out of their way to unlock certain things (like BoP or Prestige) on multiple characters specifically to have those skins/tints on multiple characters. They didn’t need to have a belief in later changes to personally do what they were required to do to open up cosmetics for their alts/characters. That’s not even touching things that were account-wide, e.g. (Dungeon Hero, even though the character had to do BoP first, or the bug that let every character use Hidden artifact tints but Blizzard chose to let people just have it).
That said, (and I repeat, I didn’t say this, but you brought it up), people have been farming things for years on the hope that Blizzard would open up the transmog system. Legendaries comes to mind rather quickly.
