Empress killable legitimately

Superficial reasoning doesn't justify that it doesn't matter if it's killed legitmately or not. In some shape or form you have associated yourself with hackers for benefits, it's just impossible to avoid without taking extreme precaution and avoiding the entire games economy entirely.

I can understand self gratification, but trying to justify legit kill vs illegitimate kill at this current state of the game is just pointless and only encourages elitism

I could care less about it for the bragging rights to others, if anything it'd be self gratification or within the group that beat it. I honestly probably wouldn't want the world to know if it was beaten legitly, because then everyone and their mother would be trying to do so. I really don't give a pineapple about elitism. You do realize I'm a bishop, right? Not too much to brag about there.

I am not one of those hardcore, farm-everything-yourself, type of person who is OCD about being legit. This game isn't a black and white of right or wrong, it's more so a sliding grey scale.
