The one thing I'm angry with Nexon isn't the fact that it's banning the wrong folks, but the fact that it's banning at all.
According to nexon, "abusing the bigfoot glitch" is the cause for banning. But that's such a broad term. The problem is that, the fact that bigfoot is abusable stems from the fact that it isn't classifeid as a "boss", and there are PLENTY of ways to "abuse" that. For example, today I killed a bigfoot - I used my eagle to keep it stunned and whenever my eagle unstuns and bigfoot gets close, I DB it out of range again. None of those actions would've been possible if bigfoot isn't "glitched", or classified as a boss. Should I be banned then? Probably not, given how Nexon nerfed Bigfoot's exp rate rather than releasing a patch to make it a boss again, which combined with the things NXProse said about bigfoot gives us the impression that Bigfoot is meant to be able to be killed that way, and the "40 seconds = 2.5m exp" is just an unfortunate side-effect
Furthermore, BECAUSE it was most likely a side effect, there was nothing that warned us about this being a bannable offense, other than the "common sense" of the fact that 2.5m exp within 40 seconds is just broken. Common sense is important, but I don't think it's grounds enough for banning.
In my opinion, they shouldn't have banned at all, but instead just fix the situation as soon as possible. Banning is most likely just a way to appease angry Yellondians, which is a questionable motive.
