I agree wholeheartedly the company should take responsibility and work on eliminating these loopholes as they become known.
However since there is no real 'competition' (ie for prizes, etc) among players, I dont think its fair to penalize those that have used these loopholes/glitchs. It is thier jobs to report them so they can be fixed.
There have been times, I have played the game for quite awhile before realizing that I had somehow become glitched in someway, often announced by an eventual game crash, or inability to TP or something. Should I get penalized for playing the game fairly.. unawares of any advantage the game may have dealt me?
Attempting to penalize/reverse progress made while 'glitching' would also bring up the problem of who to penalize, and how much. How would they likely review and determine how one achieved thier "rep'. How could they determine what "rep" was earned through normal game play or by taking advantage of a glitch.
Glitchs happen, unfortunately once people figure out how to repeat them they often abuse them instead of properly reporting them. Find ANY glitch? Do your duty, report it. Glitchs that can be abused to further your character, although nifty perhaps, are cheats once abused.
Appears to be standard process for glitchers: Encounter, Identify, Amuse, Abuse
Reporting to the game developers SHOULD be there in the middle, but to most it is unfortunatley not.
Those that love finding/using glitchs should hail glitchs being fixed as progress towards new content which will likely do what? Introduce MORE glitchs for them to investigate!
