So how has this coin exploit effected you?

-nonsensical rambling mess of insanity goes here-

"Well... Again I chalk all this up to "un-intended meta-game"
You don't even know what a meta-game is, do you.

"It's like you had a bunch of stock in BP right before the oil spill..."
Useless comparison. You're comparing people deliberately destabilizing a game's economy to a mechanical fault on an oil drilling platform. what.

"Acts of God", are part of the game man..."
This isn't an act of god.

"In the end we can still kill snails and whatnot...."
We could always do that.

"So don't stress!"
Why not.

"You guys are stressing yerselves out."
We have every right to stress ourselves out.

"It's un-needed."
True, it isn't needed, but if you had worked your butt off in order to legitimately obtain X quantity of item Y, in order to make enough money to upgrade equipment Z, you'd be upset if suddenly, due to exploits, thousands of item Y were being introduced to the market, driving down its value to the point where you'd need to work your butt off three or four times as long as you had beforehand, just to get back to where you started at. And THAT, is one of the main reasons why people are stressing. Due to the actions of a bunch of selfish hackers, their hard work has become meaningless.
