    The PVP pomander thing was definitely stopped and according to people who know much more about how it was done than I do, attempting to do it again gets you an instant ban.

    The pomander thing was a little more involved and required the use of third party software to "send" pomander data to the server outside of allowed instances. This on the other hand can be done from within the game by just inputting the specific limit break command. It's more oversight than exploit, as far as player abuse goes.

    Different games and all, but in SWTOR there was a bug where some usually non-sellable lightsaber crystals could be bound into cheap, sellable weapons and vendored and people made billions of credit in minutes. None of this was outside of normal means - it wasn't unusual to vendor these weapons when you upgraded - but anyone caught using the method was banned. Some temp, most perm. I even got an email warning, although all I'd done was vendor one of my old weapons I wasn't going to use (I just didn't get banned because it was a one-time thing).

    Not saying XIV will do the same, but I'm pretty sure that an exploit counts as an exploit, especially as you have to go outside of the standard interface to do the thing.
