If SE can't handle exploits now, why will they be able to in 2.0?

The first question before all of these is...
How do I know it's design to play that way or it's cheating?

A little common sense would dictate that game mechanics probably WEREN'T designed for you to spend a lot of GC seals on an item just to vendor it for gil. Whether SE didn't anticipate how many seals people would accumulate or it was never intended that people were able to get more than one cluster isn't really known, but they dropped the ball.

No its not, because exploit would assume you have an advantage over someone which there is no advantage in this case when like I said, the event is available to everyone, hell I see low lvls all the time doing nothing

You mean the people that have more time to play don't have an advantage over those that only have a couple hours a night to play?

Who's fault is that though? Not the players farming the seals. That's like saying I exploited my darklight because you had to work IRL and I didn't. Even then though you can't say it was an exploit because it was readily available to you, you just chose to not do it because of work

But there was never anything wrong with darklight. (besides it had a crapass droprate) This is something that was only available for a certain window of time and the people that play 10 hours a day instead of 2 made out good from it. (see person who vendored 10mil worth of dawn drops)

By the way, don't take me too seriously. I was kinda poking fun at the OP with the whole "casual" argument.

I don't think what went wrong in this event is people use GC -> gils. it's GC seals per hour rate is way too much. That's why the ninja fix is cluster/crystal drop rate not blood drop npc price.

There are lots hard workers, crafters, gatherers, escorters(?) /chuckle, constantly at 50k/50k seals, and they probably have every single useful GC item as well. what if they still working on Caravan Escort? They get extra seals! should they buy more meanless stuff to clog up their inventory? No. They sell Throat drops at ward, sell blood/dawn drops to npc (so they won't need to have an default no option on caravan npc), and they can continue gather more, submit more, escort more.
