First off, the difference is that ST has given up on Europe in my experience, but they still quite carefully look after the much more legit Japanese community. If you read again with this in mind you'll probably see what I mean. The Japanese community is not sour, YET.
You've labelled hackers and dupers without actually knowing anything other than hearsay silent shadow. Generally in my experience, hackers and dupers are doing one of two things.
1. Trying to make the game more interesting by giving themselves something else to do.
2. Trying to make a game that is more advantageous to them. These people tend to get bored as soon as they realise that they have everything, at which point they either turn legit and play honestly, quit claiming to have "beaten the game" or turn into a number 1.
But I agree that you need to know the difference between hackers and dupers. It takes a good deal of intelligence to adapt a code to a game and then alter the existing one without doing major damage to it. Hackers are generally very intelligent people who don't want to play the game ST made for them. They think they can make it better with a few differences. This is why I do not like them. ST made the game and ST police the game. If they do not want to play the game ST made then they shouldn't. Instead they choose to alter it, having a serious affect on other players.
A lot of new players become illegit very easily, this is true. I am glad that I was forewarned by Poo_Fly about the community before I stepped into it playing on his BB account. Generally I wouldn't have fallen for it anyway. If a player has any experience in online gaming then they are aware of dupes and hacks. Like it or not.
I like what you say about "Hacker" and "Hackee" however, and think you have a valid point there. There are those who hack and there are those who simply benefit from Hackers. I think the Hackees are the worst personally. :'(
