The only glitch I ever use is the X-ray glitch, and only because it doesn't really feel like cheating to me. I only use it in Creative, since if I'm flying around scoping the map, I might as well be able to scope out the underground as well. Duping seems pointless to me...I'd rather just use Creative if I'm building something huge that requires a crazy amount of materials. Screw the leaderboards.
That old classic saying comes to mind; "Two wrongs don't make a right."
There will always be a duplication glitch of some sort. As soon as one is patched, another pops up. This happens in every game where duplication is possible. Even if completely eliminated, there is always the inventory editor, though it will not allow you to obtain items in another's world.
I don't personally care about this glitch. I feel no need to dupe blocks/items since the creative update came along. The last time I duped or modded was in the good old days of 1.7.3.
Actually, breaking obsidian with your hand takes, according to the minecraft wiki, 4 minutes, 10 seconds to mine. And that's constant mining for ONE BLOCK. If you mess up or even slightly let go of the trigger, you have to start over. Could you imaging doing that and, at the last second, messing up? Then having to do it all over again?
Duping really does ruin minecraft, I duped once back when minecraft first came out and it just ruined it for me. I ended up starting a new map and completely starting over. Something about finding real diamond is more rewarding than just duping diamond blocks.
This is exactly the reason why I cannot play Minecraft with my friends who an Xbox360. They think the game is just so fun when they have a billion diamonds. But now they just use Creative Mode.
