Honestly, I don't care much about legitimacy, that isn't to say I go around hacking and ruining everyone else's fun just for my own enjoyment, I do tend to stay away from a lot of the major glitches and exploits and what not, and I have definitely not done any hacking.
However, I'm a bit peeved at how you keep throwing legitimacy around, from what I've seen, at least, because while you say you aren't trying to put yourself on a pedestal, it just seems to be a vehicle for you to look down on other players and persecute them. It's what's reflected by your poll options, while you may wish to change them, the first option is basically Super Ultra Mega Legit, and everything else is pretty much has a rather huge negative slant to it. There might as well only be two options (or three, rather, the first, the middle two as one, and the last one). Hell, even the title of the thread is pretty bad, because you single yourself out and question if there's anyone else like you. I'm not trying to attack you or anything, I'm just pointing out what I see, and I apologize if this offends you.
Personally, my philosophy is, you know you, your morals, feelings, whatever, and ultimately, you know what is right for you, so you shouldn't be so concerned with how others see you. If you know you're playing legitimately, there's no reason to flaunt it, people rarely ever get recognized for just doing what they're supposed to, nor do I see a reason in pointing out the wrongs other people have done. Take pride in that and not in how, comparatively, you're a saint among sinners.
And, though this line has been said to death, it is just a game, and it's definitely not the right battlefield to be waging a war of morals, so just have fun with it.
