Someone said something like "leeching exp is not a glitch so nexon shouldn't be allowed to ban for it".
They can ban for anything they feel like.
And not just that, but they can even justify this one. If they don't like that people can gain ludicrous experience without working for it, they can push that under the category of playing the game in a way not intended. The feature being abused to do this is NOT in place so that people can sit afk and gain experience, the feature is in place to make partying worthwhile for party members. All they have to do is say "we don't like people abusing the party experience feature in this way" and they're justified in banning anyone that does it. And even if they don't warn you before. Using a feature in an undocumented way (that is to say, they don't explicitly TELL YOU that you should do this with the party exp feature) to gain a competitive edge is listed in the rules.
That all said, I doubt they'd actually ban people for that. Probably just a mistake in their method for sorting out things, although I doubt they would just ban people who got a lot of experience. I would guess that there was some other flag they used to identify it, and that flag gave them false positives. This explains why some people are guilty of getting large amounts of experience yet were not banned, this explains why some people are guilty of abusing Nexon's mistake and are not banned. Basically their method of detection was faulty somehow.
ps Nexon's automated responses are activated when certain words appear in your message. Don't be so pissed off about receiving an automated response, when you're the one sending them a message on a topic they're already flooded with. And no, if you send them a message asking to be unbanned, they shouldn't have to even justify it with a look at it. As far as they're concerned, you're banned, you did something wrong. You're not worthy of their time if you're going to do something abusive with their service that would result in you getting banned. Try sending messages with less obvious words that would require a person reading it to identify what you're talking about.
