The consequence of breaking Rule #1 is that the cheat will be so straightforward that it can be distributed by wizards to muggles and 50% or more of your players will be using it. The "fix" has helped with PR: now the muggles are afraid to use it, so they don't feel so bad. But guaranteed the wizards are still using it. This shenglong guy has zero credibility with anyone who has ever cracked a game. Judging by his inability to understand the programming issues, its entirely possible that his claims of "spies" are equally delusional and that Guild Masters are now telling him "No! No new cheat here!"
