Is taking advantage of in game glitches cheating?
I say no. There are no "rules" for this games therefore cheating can occur. Is it unethical, well that's a different questions, but no I don't think it's unethical either.

I think there is a difference between a glitch and an exploit. A glitch is where something has an unexpected result, an exploit is where you find a way to FORCE an unexpected result.
Personally, I feel that this game generates a LOT of income for EA, they have a development team and testers working on it - if they miss something and users can exploit it from their device without manipulating the game's code - I don't have a problem.
I do have a problem with people hacking and deliberately altering game files to circumvent the way the game has been designed to generate revenue. All that will happen as a result of people hacking games to avoid paying for content is that the content will become more expensive to cover loss of revenue.
House farming, in a way, is a bit of an exploit. I don't really have a problem with it, i just think it makes your town look ****
