Do you consider using popular mods (ex: No Forced Rest) or Fast Mode to be 'cheating'?

Hello all!

 

So first of all I love the Mods which the community has made, and I use them . However, as I consider trying an Ultimate run, I know that mods are not allowed.  I want to be able to perform in the game well without going against the spirit of the devs. That being said, I also enjoy a lot of POTD solo runs, or casual runs (uscaled-all), and I really find forced rests to be annoying, since I lost my nice permabuffs. On the other hand, I wonder if i am 'breaking' the balance of the game by abusing the no rest options. Even so, with some metagaming, I can easily avoid resting, aside from a few key moments in the game (such as creating WoTEP, quest moments). 

Also, I do not use SoF exploits, even though I know this really can open up the game and make some builds really viable. 

As for Fast Mode, I know it is not cheating. What I mean is using fast mode exploring the map, the world, and so on. I feel like I miss the gameplay experience and environments when using fast mode n dungeons, even though I have played this game for years. Also, I wonder if it messes up my brain having everything move so quickly lol. What do you think? 

 

So, do you use No Forced Rest Mod?
