The issue is a) it is not part of game design - if it was fixed tomorrow then players who rely on such play style would find it very difficult to survive (such as when the Grapple Hook Sailing Glitch existed, once fixed many new pirates did not learn techniques to get higher level ships) b) Game balence - the game already has issues with storylines vs. overall Noriety, by taking a 'shortcut' you only make it more difficult on yourself later in the game c) such powerful Glitches tend to be used against other players in SvS and PvP - making it unfair to all players and d) Playability - the goal of the game is to adventure as a pirate
There are many guides that show how to get the most REP for your time spent, and though 'god' mode may save you a few hours overall - you're playing for 100's (if not 1000's of hours) already - a few extra hours isn't going to make a difference
The program will always have glitches, but when the larger ones are exploited the entire game world goes 'out of balence' (players begin changing their playstyle to match them which causes 'bunchups' and 'bottlenecks'). So while learning some glitches are fun (like secret locations) those which may directly affect other players is harmful to all.
Edit: As a side note - this "is" a glitch thread, so feel free to post any of the glitches
The discussion of reasoning of using them or not has been hashed out many times on other threads, so we'll just leave the answer at that and carry on posting cool finds
