Not at all.

They can ban you for exploiting a bug. From the User Agreement:



I don't think buying what you normally would would be considered "taking advantage" of the bug. But doing all you can to buy as much as you can while the price is glitched probably would be.

But how do you prove that someone is intentionally exploiting a bug though? What if a person decided to do a lot of it... not trying to exploit, but just doing it... SE can't ban someone for that! How do you distinguish someone who is intentionally exploiting vs someone who just happened to be doing a lot of it?

Also, we're "guessing" that it's a bug because of our experience and because of how we know Miner and Botanist should be equal. But somebody newer may not know it's a bug. And what if, it's not actually a bug? We can't prove it's a bug or not either until SE changes it...

Back in Patch 2.4, when we first found that Bridesmaid Shoes can be desyned into Fieldcraft III, a lot of people thought it was a bug. Some decided to not do it to avoid bans. Others did over 10 hours in a row... At the end, it wasn't a bug after all. And those who did 10 hours of desyn earned over 10 million overnight (it was a lot of money back then).
