No, balance of the game is about every parameters that maintain the game achievable, to prevent it to be too easy or too hard.
The balance of any game is absolutely not affected by the players at all, otherwise you are implying that any mental unbalanced player with any regular game would make the game development faulty.
Due to the inherent aspect of VRMMORPG, mental assistance isn't surprising, but absolutely not compulsory at all. It is aimed basically for players convenience, but has nothing to do with the difficulty of the game or the aspect of making it complete.
A system is more than simply regulating the balance of the game: various elements are to be taken care of, such like latency, spawning rate etc, which means a game system requires a lot more than just game balancing.
You never hear developpers addressing issues with in-game abuse etc when they talk about game balance, do you? That's exactly the point: it is irrelevant.
