I am with you on this even though my message may not have sounded like it. Maybe I'll test the coin doubling "exploitive bug" today with the patch in place to see if it might not still work. This subject can become very heated at times. The die-hards (and they really do die hard) won't have anything to do with cheating and seem to gain maximum benefit from detailed strategy in every move they make and their party living on the edge when coins are scarce. The other camp which I fall into doesn't like all the strategy and risks to take at the cost of the "adventure" and moving along in the game. I don't call it "cheating"--I call it "limited cheating", and it makes the game so much more enjoyable for me. In other words, I'm _not_ playing a God Mode or missing any of the quests or battles. But I have good equipment that I can afford and I keep everyone in training and moving up as best they can. If I played the game as a die-hard I would reach a frustration point where I would stop playing and consider trashing the CDs. It behooves companies in my humble opionion to cater to both types of players. Baldur's Gate clearly builds-in selective cheating. Wizards & Warriors, even though I am loving the game, just isn't as polished as BG2 and I can't tell really if the various exploits were left in on purpose or not.
