Cheating

since WoW is an online game with millions of real human players playing at the same time there are not really any cheats similar to the traditional ones that include a series of buttons. i have found that every once in a while i will hear about a company over general chat that is selling gold, gear and other services. i wonder if it is cheating to use this service to change, modify or enhance your gameplay? at first i thought that it was cheating. but then i realized that the focus of this game is not educational its aimed at entertainment. maybe its not a cheat if the game aspect you are skipping or changing is not educational. at the same time though, all the classic game cheats that we grew up with do not help us skip educational aspects of gameplay and yet they are still considered cheats. but is it different to buy currency than to do a cheat that makes you invincible? i think it is not cheating if you are making gameplay more enjoyable when the point of the game is entertainment rather than education.
