Am I the only one who thoroughly enjoyed every single spoon in the game?

stuck between a rock and a hard place! I started playing this game a month ago, and the most frustrating part of the game for me was the running back and forth from fardungeons to the towns to sell your loot.It would've have been nice for the makers of this game to include a scroll of town portal, sure the mark and recall spells are nice, but they don't usually teleport you to the town that you are familiar with. I hate when i get transported to vivec and have to run around to find someone to barter with, then when i finally find an item worth alot of money, which saves me from alot of running around, merchants don't have enough gold to buy it!
I found a cheat which will give me as much gold as i want, so i just gave myself 30k, the amount of the item i wanted to sell but merchants couldn't purchase due to lack of money, and i just threw the item somewhere and not used it, so i figured fair exchange right? but then i feel like a cheater, and i hate cheating.
what do u guys think, is this cheating???? u guys better say no.

nay, i think that's alright. The important thing is that you are enjoying while playing that game, right?. If not, what's the point?. Anyway, if cheating too much, then you would spoiled the game.

When I noticed that merchants didn't have alot of gold to buy all of my loot I did notice the word 'barter'. When I loot my fallen foes and only find six pair of common shoes instead of going to a merchant to convert said shoes to cash and then using that same cash to purchase that new lockpick I need I just 'barter' those shoes for the lockpick. If I have something more grand I picked up on some quest like a rare piece of armour that I don't need I could take the merchants money and use the merchants other goods to make up the differance in price, like cure disease and blight potions, and divine intervention scrolls, can't be too short on that stuff anymore. This type of economy is what I assumed Bethesda had in mind. Bartering won't work for every situation, but I think it was done to give Morrowind a little bit of color.

From the following story you can detect several serious flaws in my personality which probably need years of psychotherapy...

I got all my spare expensive items and sold them to a merchant who kept regenerating vast amounts of spark arrows for some reason.

I wound up with about 40,000 spark arrows or something.

Then I sold them back to him about 600 at a time, waiting for 24 hours between each sale.

(I did this while watching TV)

Note that I could have used the console to give myself the money but "that would have been cheating".

Then I took all the money and enchanted myself a suit of armor that can give about 130% chameleon.

Now no-one can see me and I can kill anything but the game isn't much fun anymore.

However I'm reluctant to downgrade my equipment!!

What I am thinking of now is enchanting a complete set of armor and clothes that will do nothing but improve my jump ability, so I can leap around Morrowind like Icarian Flight.

Oh my God, I am seriously sick.......

OMG Scrivener!, i did almost the same things as you! = I got all my spare expensive items and then sold them to a merchant who kept regenerating vast amounts money, then i waiting for 24 hours between each sale, & i did this while NOT watching TV!, just wait patienly until i able to pump up my money passing 1,000,000 gold!. Note that I could have used the console to give myself the money but "that would have been cheating." Then I took all the money and enchanted myself Daedric shield that granted me strength that allow carry beyond 1,000 weight!, & even enchanted a "Flying Pants" letting me gliding through sky everywhere on Morrowind!.

Arrrhh!, that would make me sicker with brutal flaws in my personality which probably need relentless & many more years of psychotherapy!.
