It comes under the heading of "too good to be true".
It's not exploiting a glitch or oversight in the coding, like the Bounty Hunter thing, but it is taking advantage of faulty design.
Obviously nobody intended for this dungeon to replace all training areas of the game, even for a month. It was just meant to be a fun event, with nice exp rewards for tedious quests (low drop rates, random maps spending forever looking for a specific monster or NPC, etc).
They made a statement about looking into it, and also "We are discouraging the use of these maps in this way, as this is not how they were intended.
I'm guessing there was no-one around with the authority to forbid, permit, or even temporarily lock it. That is sad.
Edit: OK, this is weird. I did the Mr. Lee quest yesterday. Finished all the quests, got the buff, fixed all the vehicles, and left via submarine. (Racked up 3% on my level 210 Hero in the process)
When I logged in this morning, the "Moldoves Vacation" quest is back in my star notifier.
I will accept it and see whether I can really get another buff and mount. Shouldn't take very long. I stand on the portal and just keep pressing up until I get the map I'm looking for (e.g. hyenas).
If this event is a daily repeating one (Update Notes don't say so) then it's OP in yet another way. 40 Hunter's buffs (+100 att for 30 minutes, non-expiring)? Who came up with that idea?
Will report soon.
