I know people like to get on their moral high horse on subjects like this but the bottom line is that's it's a matter of personal choice. Either you choose to compromise your race, or you choose to risk a suspension.
It's no different from speeding or coasting through stop signs in real life. You choose between convenience and the risk of a ticket. Except in real life you also have to factor in safety.
But this is just a game, and the game has an exploit, and all it takes is one person to take advantage of the exploit to make it a problem for everyone. Of course, someone always does. It's strange that anyone would pile on those who decide to be competitive rather than to play fair, but not criticize the game flaw itself. Barbagallo could have been designed with curbs there, or an earlier pit entry line that engages the pit limiter, or some other solution. I'm not blaming the modders, they chose to make a faithful reproduction of the track instead of one that factors in the challenges of moderating online racing. I respect that choice. But there is a consequence to that choice and it's what we see here.
Until someone can point me to a society or even a species that is always 100% good and fair, I will continue to insist that exploits like this boil down to a matter of personal choice.
