New thread, old news.
In short, why weren't all the abusers banned? I met a person the other day who claims that he duplicated 800+ bomb vendors from the glitch. In speculation, that's 1.6 million gralats, which is equivalent to around 581 Canadian dollars.
A friend also told me that countless people abused this glitch, and few were actually given a suitable punishment. I'm not sure whether this is true or not, as I was inactive during the time.
I don't buy gralats, I actually try to earn them by farming, catching bugs and whatnot. Players who abused this glitch to its maximum potential can easily earn gralats just by selling their glitched furniture.
Point is, it's really not fair for the people who have actually spent money on this game.
