The same applies to Boomers some years ago in NLC, Nexon has coded them to be like that, but in a day, saw that it needed a nerf. It wasn't really something about abusing a glitch, but enjoying what you had by the moment.
Glitches are more likely the OPQ glitch, that was really an example of glitch abusing, since it was a bug, players found out and started abusing it. It wasn't a bad choice, but an accident that it happened. Things like the tokens, and boomers, didn't require ban because Nexon saw that they wanted to implement it that way, but it caused chaos.
But this Rex thing? Sorry, but i doubt someone thought that it was normal to get that much of EXP on high levels, to go from like 120 to 160, and thought abusing it couldn't be a reason to be banned. It's just too much naivety. Though i don't really think they're going to do a mass ban this time, because such thing could be easily reverted with a rollback, i won't be surprised if they do it.
Nah, this is all exploitation. Any attempt to rationalize it is worthless. Even the example I provided. Like I said, it was technically wrong, I just don't regret it. It didn't benefit me in any way besides getting some halloween costumes which should have been more easily obtainable (and were the next year)
Boomers is a really bad example. "Enjoying what you've got while you've got it" is like the glitch abusers motto. If that were an effective justification than all glitch abuse would be okay.
