Rules are the guidelines by which the game must be played. Especially in the context of an MMORPG. You can't have a subset of players decide that they don't like the rules, and ingore them, while the rest of the game continues to play by them.
If you don't like a rule, then you take it to the forums and file a feature request to try and get it changed. But until Tom changes his mind, then you *must* continue to follow the rule IG. But you don't get to just ignore it because you think it shouldn't apply to you.
