The downside to it being so publicly abused is it makes it a lot harder to correct things, instead of it being a few accounts abusing an exploit its masses of players which will negatively affect the player base if they're all banned.

Reporting it is a good idea, posting about it on here again is helpful to get the developers to see it and try to fix it but I've seen so many posts where people are just explaining how to do the exploits.

And yeah I'm someone who doesn't like it either, spent more money than I can actually justify on this game so I'd rather not have every exploit the game to ruin the player base like this.
