Poll: Scouting Tools and Editors - Is it Really Cheating?

The likes of FMSE and Genie Scout are excellent tools for our use; however there is always the debate if it is cheating... is it?

What Do You Think is Cheating? (60 votes)
For me personally, I think the use of editors or scouting tools to see certain things like hidden attributes and what not is fine but if you're using them to change attributes for the better that to me is a bit dodgy. All of the different lists for wonderkids, cheap bargains etc those are all fine as is downloading tactics if that's your preference.

Exploiting the match engine is a tricky one, if people find something that is working for them and they're happy with it why not just stick with it. Certain things can cause the match engine problems and they may not even be aware of it so that to me is subjective, but I don't completely frown upon it.

Saving and reloading as well as adding managers is proper cheating for me and I don't know how people expect to get any sort of longevity out of any FM cycle if they make it that easy for themselves.
