Just to play devil's advocate here-
If someone gave you info on how to build a stud, you're saying you wouldn't take it? Actively seeking out, bribing people for the info, etc is one thing, but he only said people were giving him info. If a friend of yours PMd you and it said "I just found out via the test server that xxxxxxx....." you would ignore that and from thereon deliberately make your player not the best he can be?
