You're just making a lot of assumptions is all. If they sat there for a week racking up loot before making this known, then I agree -- punishment is in order.

It all comes down to their openness with GMs. And obviously I'm assuming they didn't disobey any orders from GMs.
It comes down to information we don't have and will never know for sure. If they petitioned immediately and GMs said cool, thanks, we'll fix it soon, then it's the same as any other non-classic error pending correction. If they were sneaky about it and camped it for awhile before petitioning, or didn't petition at all, then they should be punished. By the way, they might have been punished for all we know. That kind of information isn't released. I imagine it all depends on how they went about petitioning, and whether or not they disobeyed orders from the GMs.

Sure if a GM said alright go camp it for 2 weeks while we fix it then don't punish them because they asked and its all good.
But to think they asked and the GM/Guide/Rogean/Whoever's in charge of this sort of situation and they responded with "ya its a known bug but go ahead and farm it while we fix it" is pretty messed up.
If they announced to everyone on the server "oh by the way we messed up and lockets are dropping again, farm them while you can" right after Divinity petitioned then I could see it maybe being ok. But they didn't, no one was even really aware till it was already a week into the bug when Eccezan posted the thread in RnF.
I'm not looking to out Divinity for this, I'm not even really pressed on them getting banned or anything like that.
Im pressed to see why a GM would let this go on.
When VP dragons were being pulled to some spot that was not allowed, Amelinda went and put mobs up there that had the names "Don't pull things here" or something to that extent. It would be incredibly easy for a gm to say oh ok they are dropping and do the same thing. Name them "destroy your lockets that drop or face the banhammer".
Either way its done and over with and for all I know they were banned or reprimanded in some way
This thread will get lost by tomorrow and we all go back to not caring.
