That's the point; I'm not competing against them. I refuse to play, period. There's no fun in playing when being legitimate means being 'underpowered' and therefore 'unwanted'. There's no fun playing a game where you can't do anything without looking inferior, where you can't do anything without being overpowered, where you can't even hunt in peace without some cheater coming along and taking the map from you because they want it and are willing to break the rules to take it. I quit because the game had no content worth playing, and won't come back for the 'new' content because doing so means being surrounded by people I can't respect and don't like.
So basically you are refusing to play because they exist and there is a chance that they might come and interfere with you. As for the looking inferior who are you looking inferior to the people who are cheating or the people who are playing the way you are. I look inferior to plenty of people in this game yet it doesn't stop me from playing I could care less if they can solo cht in 10 minutes or do whatever I could care less because they don't concern me. You are competing with them. You basically came to the conclusion that "I can't do X effectively as Y can because Y uses Z which is cheating and I wont use Z". I guess what was fun for you in this game was doing Y better than most people and since hackers can do it better, you see no point in playing.
