Nexon's entire paragraph:
Quote:All players that abused this exploit will be banned, however we understand that some players may have simply made a poor decision, so all players will be given until 5/15/2011 to voluntarily remove the exploited items from their accounts by selling them to an NPC for 0 mesos. If all exploited items are removed in time, you will not be banned (please note that you must remove the items from ALL of your accounts.) Once our investigation is complete and all applicable bans are issued, we will return the items that remain to normal. We hope that most players will do the right thing and remove the items if they know they are exploited.
In the highlighted sections, nexon is also referring to the players who "mistakenly" purchased or received the exploited scrolls.
Nexon's statement reversed:
Quote:If all exploited items are not removed in time, you will be banned
Quote:If all exploited items are removed in time, you will not be banned
Either way, it was clear that they intended to ban anyone who still had the exploited scrolls regardless of whether or not they were legit by the 15th. This was why there was a number of questions regarding the announcement on the nexon forums/basil with players asking if any anniversary items they held could get them banned.
If they only meant for the exploiters to be banned, then why include the section after "All players that abused this exploit will be banned"?
