Just like all the people who abused garuda got away with that
Just like all the people that botted all their crafts to 50 got away with that (And I know at least 20 people on my server who openly admit it, have been reported to the GM for it, and still have their char. I even have screenshots of some discussing which bot is better and how to use them)

Why would anyone want to play a game that essentially turns into a competition for gear when the majority of the player base is openly exploiting/cheating, and where people make a day free every patch so they can make sure they get to exploit whatever screwup there is before its fixed.
