Holy shit the lack of context you all lack here is unreal.
Do you honestly think a player like Mannercookie who has contributed way more to theory crafting (for barbs and saders) than 99% of this forum ever will did it because he was not capable of doing it "fairly"? FFS on the stream he showed the exploit, he did it for shits and giggles on a wizard NOT his barb or crusader. Do you think he was gonna play the wizard for the rest of season with whatever gear he got rather than his barb or sader? If you watched the stream, he clearly did not do the exploit as a way to get a head because he half-assed it with a wizard in order to bring awareness to it (like he mentioned in the op). If you are the type of person to lose "respect" for someone over something meaningless like this then your respect is worth shit.
Ask any other pro streamer and you will see that the overall consensus is that it sucked that MC got banned. MC is the barb/crus "guy" that everyone looked to for the latest information.
