So basically these programs allow you to do everything EXCEPT god mode and instant level 60. If you use an aimbot you can also be shot and killed. What damage you do with these programs is belittle the accomplishments of other players.
Put it this way - what you are doing is like taking all the drugs under the sun to prepare for the Olympics and saying you didn't really cheat that much - sure you still have to train, but so does everyone else and they didn't take those performance enhancing drugs.
Cheating at Everquest doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I'm sure you are fine person in other aspects of your life. I myself cheated with many single player games to make things more convenient/fun, Diablo inventory was a pain in the ass and sometimes you just gotta no-clip when you can't find that hidden keycard in XYZ old-school fps. I also glitched my archery up to Grandmaster in Ultima Online back in the day, I'm not saying it was the right thing to do and it was a great way to save me time, but it was definitely unfair and if I had been caught it would have been fair enough. But some people here take Everquest very seriously and it is a part of their life - you have to realise EQ is a multiplayer game at heart so you can't just go around cheating as it is unfair on the other legit players. If you were exploiting bugs in the game I would be far more sympathetic as everyone can do that with the tools they are given to play the game, but using 3rd party programs is a definite and unfair advantage.
