Coin collecting is NOT something that is part of a game. Which in all reality breedables are a game to a degree which makes it an exploit and the way KittyCatS handled it and didn't give one person an advantage over another was purrfect in my opinion.
Yah, still disagreeing with those calling this an 'exploit'.
A game exploit is using a flaw in the games construction to cheat,
and thus create an unfair advantage to the player using it.
Utilizing an exploit is an intentional act.
However, this anomoly could have happened to anybody,
without their direct involvement or manipulation,
and nobody could have brought it upon themselves.
An equal opportunity malfunction.
Luck of the draw so to speak,
that dropped a kitteh on your lap wearing a tiarra.
Therefore not an exploit in its true definition.
It was a random snafu.
It created a rare item.
Rare items, like error coins, are collectable.
Collectable items are bought and sold.
Here the collectable has been rendered moot.
So much for that.
If you want a better example of an exploit,
remember that guy in SL who found a glitch to bid on properties
before they were available for sale,
and thus got a bunch of sims for cheap?
He knew it was cheating, yet he intentionally committed the deed.
