The news of Bigfoot spread like wildfire, even before the servers were reopened after the patch. I'd wager that the majority of people knew within 30 minutes of logging on, either from sites similar to this one, their guilds, buddy lists or random people in game.
Also... 2+mil exp in 40 seconds = OBVIOUS glitch. No one should have killed more than 1 bigfoot with ice demon/fire demon/mist/web before realizing how broken it was.
To me, whether or not it was abused before or after the announcement is irrelevant. Before the exp fix, it was blatantly obvious that no one is supposed to be able to gain exp that fast and anyone who killed more than 1 with the enemy-hp-based skills was purposely abusing it. Even the smallest shred of common sense should make anyone realize that, but instead people chose to feign ignorance because it happened to suit them and gave them an easy way to level up.
Also, in regards to the law, ignorance is not an excuse. Similarly, the ToS states that anyone purposely abusing a glitch is subject to reprimand... For the first bigfoot, if you didn't know, it wasn't your intent to abuse the glitch. For your second bigfoot, there's no excuse whatsoever.
Also... this literally made me facepalm:

They completely forgot about poison when designing that monster. They never meant for F/Ps to be able to crash a channel at will or get EXP that fast.
