A real life comparison is this:
We know crime is present, and we know it will be present even if we try to do something about it, so we will just let go of policing and defence, because wth..

If you want to be the best or be better than other players by your coding skills, I strongly recommend you Codecombat and similars.

Sorry I'm not into that
H&h is more like a funny social game, I have no interest in doing such things.

Haven and hearth is a sandbox based in another kind of gameplay, it's not about coding.
If you change the subject of your writting to Battlefield 4 or Rust, you are justifing using wallhacks and autoaim, just because you have acces to that kind of knowledge. Coding those scripts its very creative and allow a bad player to get the same level of a good player and kill a lot of other people etc etc etc

Wallhack and autoaim in those games would be more like getting infinite stamina, 10k str, agi, ua and mc here.
There are other ways for a a bad player to beat good players, they can pay to get game time, pay to trade tokens. Even if the game is not P2W, I hope you won't deny that paying helps somehow. Also custom clients, alarms, auto-curios, less memory consumption, hide trees, improved combat interface, etc ... if you want people to be equals you will also have to ban custom clients

The issue with bots in most games I've played (the pay ones) is that they use stolen accounts to do it. Then the account gets banned, and the owner is screwed.
