Here's some info for you. You know all those evil "third party programs" like MQ/SEQ/etc that are banned here and considered cheating? There are servers out there that allow you to use those programs by name. Using those programs on those servers that allow it are not cheating.
Using cheat codes built into a single player game is still cheating because it's not the way that the base game experience is intended to be.

Most of the same arguments supporting "gina" could be applied to things like packet sniffers that don't directly interact with the client. But that's nothing new....terrible players have always tended to make any mental gymnastics needed to justify their use of training wheels. They're terrified of the notion of having a level playing field because they know, deep down, they can't hack it.

Ok, well, when the devs say that GINA is GTG, then the most basic fucking intent I can divine out of that statement is that GINA is GTG.

Like you said, there are servers that allow MQ to be used. That doesn't make MQ suddenly not a cheat program any more. Whether the devs allow people to use GINA or not does not determine whether it should be seen as cheating.

"It doesn't restore functionality to the UI it just puts that functionality back onto your UI while you're playing" is incredibly pedantic and would only be argued by somebody who knows exactly what they're doing and knows that it flies in the face of the very purpose of this server.

The worst thing about using these things is missing the granular efficiency when it's gone.

Get used to spell sets. They go away. You regret not having 6 perfectly crafted preloaded spellsets
Get used to permanent compass. It goes away. You regret having to hit sense heading now.

Serious question: do you feel that using deadly boss mods in WoW is cheating?
