Cheating on certification exams is actually much worse than "gliching" in online games. In games, other than a high score, there's nothing tangible or material to gain from cheating. But when a person undeservedly obtains a certification by cheating, it devalues the reputation and worth of not only the certification itself, but also of all the people who fairly earned the certification.

Absolutely, It was just a few years back that many people thought that the MCSE was worhtless because so many people cheated to get the cert that they became "paper mcses". Certifications lost meaning for a while. It took some real effort to get the reputation back.
