Isn't modding just another way of cheating? It's all perspective and semantics. You're changing the game to make it what you want it to be. Some people might like it next to impossible to bribe. Others like it easier. Some think it should be easier to level up characters, some don't. Why change the game for everybody if the desired change can be addressed by yourself for yourself without imposing those changes on others.

Modding is one thing because it makes optional changes for those who wish to apply them, but I don't think we should request update fixes from the developers for preference type things. Updates from the developers should only fix things that are obviously broken.
