While I sort of agree, doing something that the game doesn't allow you to do (in this case, choose the bonus so it fits better your class) is cheating, by definition.
in most of the showcase videos that I watch, the only thing I see is a char with blinding speed and godly attacks, decimating anything in his/her path without breaking a sweat..
Now, I understand how people may find that completion bonus system flawed and unfair, since many bonuses are generally useless. For example, who is crafting Blood of Ares for a mediocre poison DoT?I guess this is the grindy part of TQ. Every ARPG needs one. PoE has six-linking. GD also has his set of artefacts.
edit: in TQ, bonus is just bonus.. you don't complete an artifact because you want the bonus
the game does actually allow you to tamper with completion bonusses, by reloading an earlier save
Are we expected to endlessly farm Normal Nessus on our first character?
but anyone who played it may confirm that only the bosses fights are actually harder.

besides, how can xmax be considered cheating? it's a mod that increases difficulty bla bla bla.........
Also, regarding Xmax. I wouldn't consider Xmax cheating,
This isn't cheat, but just a non-honorable way to play the game.
cheating is something you do to make things easy for you right? xmax is the opposite..
