to the other wikia contributor (white knight) saying that glitching is so bad etc... Read up on the prisoners dilemma, basically it says that rational actors will always act in their own best interest. In this particular scenario we have several possible outcomes, either

A. No one glitches, everyone is equal and happy and the event goes as it should

B. You glitch but no one else does, meaning you have a giant advantage and will most likely attain an A ranking

C. You do not glitch but others do, you are now at more of a disadvantage then if no one / everyone glitched and are not likely to do well at all.

D. Everyone glitches, its not as even as A, but it keeps the playing field even between everyone (for the most part)

As you can see, any rational actor in this scenario is looking to rank as high as possible, making the obvious choice be to use the glitch, as he cannot confirm that no one else will abuse it (leaving him in option C, the worst of all possibilities)

Further, in this scenario there are more tangible rewards in scenario D. for all parties (lots of free pots that you would otherwise not receive if not glitching), making D. actually a superior option to A (no glitching). Really the only reasons to avoid glitching are as follows:

-due to your setup/devices you cannot abuse the glitch, this automatically places you in category C (the worst) and you wish that all parties stop abusing the glitch so you can return to category A (no glitching)

-You hold a moral objection to cheating in any way, again placing you in group C, you wish to return to A due to a misguided sense of morals / rightness.

I understand you say it is not fair to the new players, but honestly if the new players were in the position to abuse the glitch, they would act just as rationally as any current top guild member and abuse it for their own gain. There is no moral conundrum here, just all parties acting in their own best interest, which is all that can be expected in this situation.
