Then later, you read on the forums that the wall glitches present in almost every scene (I haven't noticed any in Rambleshack, but everywhere else, yes) are not even planned on being fixed. Only the most egregious glitches are even considered for patching. The realization sets in, that the various "Easter eggs" may in fact be intentional..."KH invisible & invulnerable" being a good example of a glitch that couldn't possibly be accidental.
So, at that point, knowing that some glitches are out there, just to be exploited, you learn that some people use glitches (ok, all glitches) for competitive advantage. You can either abandon POTCO at that point, or start to learn how to combine the glitches, so that you can pinpoint their weaknesses. Learning useless poker glitches teach you how to combine even more glitches, possibly into something useful.
Getting onto the dock is only the combination of two glitch types/methods. The KH invulnerability is three. The old patched boss battle mountain glitch was just one.
Do I "like" finding everything wrong with the game. Honestly, yes, it is partly amusing. Recent experiences like SvS leave me with a desire to learn how to do the cannon 360 glitch, to see if it can be undermined. But the most important reason to pursue glitches, is so that they can be identified, reproduced, confirmed and reported.

Amusing?
Telling me you want to find everything wrong with the game tells me you are only playing to exploit what's wrong.
If you use glitches to get farther in the game taht also tells me that your weak. By weak I mean not experience, you need to do glitches to get ahead in the game whiles others would rather do it the hard/right way.
That last part you said is my favorite part.
When I find a glitch I report it.
While playing POTCO wouldn't it be more fun to go out sailing and sinking ships than glitching? If you're on a game just to glitch your wasting your time.
I'm not trying to be a bad guy here but if I were a dev and I knew people glitched I would try my hardest to fix that glitch and then laugh to myself when people get mad when they get fixed.
I never have and never will approve or like glitching. If it was up to me to get rid of all glitches then there would be no more wall glitches, flag ship glitch, etc...
