I'm going to say I agree that cheating on dragonvale should be stopped and does bother me but not so much that it ruins the game for me. Maybe it's because I do have a competitive side of me and maybe that's the only reason. The competitive side adds an element of enjoyment to the game and a reason to work hard playing the game to get better: in order to have something to show off, for example. Even though everyone plays this game differently I think the same can apply. We work hard playing the game to get this epic park and what not and go see someone who completely destroys ours because they cheated. It's like... well why bother trying to get better if you simply cannot beat this group of people who cheat? So yes, I find that there is irritation from seeing these cheaters.

Despite that, I don't let myself be bothered much by it. For one, I delete these people from my friends so I don't have to see them (of course, they still come and brag about it on the wiki.) But if you ask me I find that cheating this way ruins the game. Generally, for just about anything, it always is so desirable to have something better than what is currently owned whether in a game or reality. But once one gets the better thing, the bar is raised and that current standard is set as 'normal' and not so exciting, and then a better yer thing is needed to bring the happiness. If you cheat your way to the best on dragonvale, it becomes less exciting and then there's no way to get better and the result is... boredom. The game isn't so fun anymore.

So I conclude by saying although it's irritating and they should be banned from the game, they're probably doing more harm to themselves as far as the game is concerned than they are to us. And ... I won't be too bothered by it.
