However do raise awareness with thread(s) in the forums so devs are fully aware of any on going issues. It's not the players' fault for congestion, but SE for not being better prepared.
I doubt the developers had in mind visitors locking out people from that own server and then yelling "Not my fault" while not leaving and giving way to people to be able to get in. They also probably had in mind people coming from other servers to help out servers lagging behind in the even due to poor participation, not people trying to multi-dip in the scrip pot for their own selfish purposes. Lastly the gathering part of the event barely has any cross-server representation given nodes are inexhaustible, you can't sell materials on other world besides trading them directly with players and you don't need to step into the Firmament to buy materials from another server.

It's partly the players fault when they abuse a system that has cooperation in sight and they abuse it for self interest. Being allowed to do something due to an oversight doesn't mean it's alright to do something up until the developers fix it and/or outlaw it. You have the Ungarmax exploit as an example. And you can't call it a valid feature when most likely what will happen is the ability to contribute to other servers being taken away, which wouldn't have happened if people weren't greedy in the first place.
