Nyzul Isle Assault Bug

That is the difference between foresight and aftermath, choices and consequences. Goes to show that just a "simple dat swap" has created more hardship than it has created positive results. These people knew what they were doing when they did it which is why is should result in reprimand. You're reasoning is like comparing the reason why a person stole from a corner store to feed their family. What about the person they held up? What about the strangers they inconvenienced during investigations? It wasn't because it was the only choice, it was because it was easier than going about it the responsible way and correct way.

So no, I feel no sympathy or see no reason to show mercy on those who exploited something in the system because they knew full well when they started doing it that it wasn't something the developers would allow. In fact, there was an update in the past that tried to stop this by moving some of the data server side, but people still continued to do Hex edits and dat swaps to circumvent it. Am I a bit hard on something so "trivial?" Maybe to you I am, but I work with individuals that have the same train of thought as these people, and oddly enough they have the same reasoning...or what I like to call "excuses" you are now using. Funny thing, that none of these "excuses" stopped them from doing it before hand, but somehow are very important in the aftermath of what they have done and should be reasons not to punish them for doing it. Please, get over yourself if you think not reprimanding people for obviously breaking TOS rules is the smart thing to do. You're only inviting these people to do it again then cry crocodile tears again when they get called out for it.

To assume there is a victim in this case is to assume several things. That the Development Bros are not only diligent and capable enough to monitor success and failure rates of Neo-Nyzul Isle excursions, but also that they would respond in any way other than saying "We did this and this is what we meant to do," after noting the low success rate.

My opinion of them is not as such.

To me, this seems more like stealing something out of a mall's trash dumpster. Technically it is illegal to take the stuff in there, and for that sole reason somebody shouldn't be surprised if he or she is fined or tossed in jail overnight or whatever. That doesn't mean anyone has been victimized or that anything has been taken away from anyone.
