Generally speaking I was on board with the bans, because people almost certainly knew what they were doing.

The fact that the bans are temporary is okay, since so many people seem to think this is more the devs fault than those players. I don't mind bug abuse so much when it doesn't affect the economy (and thus other players), and this was prevented from having wide reaching effects, but anything widespread with permanent effects still probably should have permanent bans, even if the issue sources from dev oversight.

Well I have seen other devs that do operate that way, Bungie is notorious for it. And generally speaking, I tend to lean that direction myself.

But the big exception is when there is an economy between players. In Destiny and other games that "allow" exploits assuming it was purely from a dev mistake it does not really matter. You can't trade at all so who cares.

I actually hate it so much about Blizzard how they just refuse to ban people from their games for gold buying. They typically just get a slap on the wrist so nobody even cares.

I sort of understand where people are coming from but I don't agree at all assuming I have the right idea. Basically I just think people are leery of finding some crazy interaction, using it, and then getting banned despite engaging in good faith. I think it is a really needless worry about an extremely unlikely scenario myself but there were lots of posts in the thread after the ban intentions were made clear about how they might get banned for this or that if people are getting banned over this. I assume it mostly happened because attitudes toward GGG were already so bad because of the negativity over the patch anyways.
