I doubt any action will be taken against the exploiters.

Bioware need all the subs they can get, hence the ridiculous x12 XP.

That's not the point.
The point is that people abused an exploit that could potentially do significant damage to the economy and they did it despite repeated warnings not to do so.
It's not a minor issue, btw. And it's not the same as the slot machines.
The slot machines were something that not everyone could use (you had to either get one yourself or get invited to someones stronghold that had one, and even then you might have to wait in line) not to mention that it took substantial time to use.
With this exploit, you could make millions in an hour. Billions in a day.
Not at all on the same level.
And as I've stated, there is no witch-hunt going on here.

In case you didn't notice, this thread was not created by someone asking for the exploiters to be perma-banned.
It was created by someone asking them to not do that, and people are simply voicing their opinion on that matter.

So stop pretending that there's a whitch-hunt going on and stop pretending like the punishment doesn't fit the crime because it does, and it's up to bioware to decide who gets what. But a perma-ban for serious offenders is certainly well within the boundries of punishments fitting the crime.

Said the man who compared a perma ban to killing a child?

I would attempt to extrapolate, but your English is flawed, so I shall not attempt to assume.

If Spanish is your first language, I can happily read it in that translation as well, if that helps you. Other than that, I cannot help you. :/
Really?
He misses one letter at first, one period and then uses one abbreviation and suddenly you can't read it?

"To much exploiting is bad gl with the punishment."
Let me "translate" that for you:
Too much exploiting is bad. Good luck with the punishment.

Can you read it now?

There is no way to spin this as having been done "accidentally." One person did say "I bought a stack of 99 then sold them back because I was trying to 'unlock' them into my decoration 'bank' and clicking on a decoration with the vendor window open sells the decoration to the vendor rather than 'unlocking' it." That is at least plausible.

This is a perfect case for "zero tolerance," IMO.

Money has been removed (so I've heard) as well as some being banned, whether its perma ban or not I can't say.

Lets be Honest here tho am in no way supporting the people that did this. If people Left the game because of a bad economy ... then Who cares tho people were bored of the game and just needed a reason to leave.

Am bored out my mind at the moment only reason I stay is because of my friends. thats it

The only people asking for leniency are the guilty, or alts thereof.
