This and similar exploits (silver ruby veil) weren't even that bad, compared to some of the others I've seen. Silver ruby veil added about 1 million plat to the economy in the 6 months or so it was botted. The really bad ones were several million/billion plat+ in minutes.
After you've dealt with this stuff for a while, you see the same things, over and over, there are patterns in the people and circles you deal with. One truism I've found is that if someone disrespects the server in one way, they're not going to respect it in another.
What I mean by that, is the people you see raging out on the devs, are usually running mq2, 2boxing, scamming, RMTing and all that. Someone doing one is inevitably doing another. You all might think I out people posting from troll accounts for the lulz, and while that's partially correct, it's also because I'm probably going to bust up some shady shit in the process.
But yeah, the majority of all of the excess plat floating around (or the expensive items they purchased to hide it) are sitting on accounts that were banned for one reason or another. Not perfect, but it all averages out fairly well.

Well I'm glad you weighed in. I knew there were a few out there, and the more obvious ones got banned. Especially when you look at a guy whos got a million + plat banked it's pretty obvious especially back then when the server was only up for 6 months that he didn't make it from selling sets of Bronze armor.
It is funny however to see that even though it made an impact on the way things are today, it's really not a huge gamebreaking deal.
