Is it acceptable to pick up items left behind by macros/cheats? Is it acceptable to destroy Anniversary Hot Air Balloons spawned by macros/cheats?
This question really bothers me because the 7th Anniversary Hot Air Balloons spawn almost instantaneously in maps with macros/cheats. By breaking these, you can get up to 8 chaos scrolls a day. I opted not to and end up with 1 a day. Each scroll is worth around 10 to 15 dollars, which means people who break the dubious balloons make 70 to 105 dollars more than me a day. Seems grossly unfair and I wanted your opinions on this.
[Added] I forgot to mention what these balloons are. They're the same as the 7th Anniversary Hot Air Balloons from KMS (http://www.southperry.net/showthread.php?t=26355). The balloons in JMS has 300,000 HP and can only be damaged by normal attacks (damage is fixed at 777). Shadow partner and double stab works, giving thief classes double/quadruple attacks. The balloons drop 20% pink anniversary scrolls and/or level 35, 43 or 64 maple weapon along with some pots and maple leaves. The weapons can be traded in for silver coins which in turn can be traded for all maple weapons/equips available in the game including +7% HP or MP pendants, new level 77 maple weapons ("pyrope") and of course, chaos scrolls.
With financial gains at stake (and investments in cash items like pets and 2x drop cards), I feel like I'm being a fool in not joining the fray ._. I know this sounds far off given GMS being in its 5th year but there will come a time when you have to face this decision yourself.
[update 9/8] Nexon released a cash item (36 cents each) that gives out coins. This issue might be resolved if prices deflate at this rate. (CS is now $6.)
