Firstly, SE set the vendor price for Dawn Drops.
They've been at the GC since...forever so no SE didn't expect people to buy them even at all since mobs rarely debuff you, let alone sleep you.

Now SE adds the Atomos NM event, where you can get over-aspected crystals/clusters and exchange them for Seals of your Grand Company
Which was a good way to rank up and get your gear, especially newer players.

The NPC that gives you seals for crystals wont let you turn in anymore if it will put you over cap. So any player that has everything they want from GC and wants to get that 500k seal ach, has to do something about it.
That 500k seal achievement could be obtained normally even before this event, it was a long term goal for helping out your GC. Can you explain the logic of people who got the achievement and still gaining seals and vendoring drops?

Its not an exploit, its something to take advantage of while it lasts.
THAT IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF AN EXPLOIT.
