PSA: Egg Coloring Glitch

1) Does it really matter if it's poor design? Fact remains is that the issues exist, and exp exploits only worsen them.
2) You could also argue that hackers and dupers have such a large impact on the economy because of poor game design, considering that Nexon could actually give half a pomegranate and implement Eos' fix for duping and an actual functioning autoban system.

1) Are we using arbitrary numbers now where normal paragraphs would make more sense?

You could argue that the issues created by hackers and dupers are similar to an issue caused by what can only be labeled as "overpopulation".
You could also walk around in public wearing a fish on your head and telling people that chicken nuggets are made with the ground up bones of babies.
In both cases, people are probably going to think you're an idiot.

Overpopulation is an issue of content design while hacking and duping exploit poor system design.
They aren't the same kind of problem.

So, to sum up:
Because there is a problem and it will only worsen, we might as well contribute to the worsening of it?

Nexon is just generally extremely unresponsive to everything. Look at HT.

The best solution is to remove the source of the problem. In this case, the solution is to either prevent any more people from leveling or to make the supply match the demand.
Excusing Nexon's poor response time is not a proper solution.

Once you exceed a certain level range within the monster, it won't drop the item botters would be aiming for, meaning they'd have to make another character to continue farming at the same place.

Actually, what they do is move the character to a level-appropriate map as there isn't anything worth botting for at lower levels besides the Angelic Blessing Recipe which can be infinitely mined by Cygnus Knights.

Sorry. It's just that most frequent posters on Southperry tend to be pretty damn ultralegit (apologies if I lumped you into that group erroneously), and the fact that a couple of those frequent posters were abusing the exploit, and others, while not participating in it themselves, completely ignored the legitimacy issue this raised up (condoning). Just seemed a bit hypocritical to me.

Clearly you aren't paying attention because I can think of plenty of frequent posters who have all but out-rightly said that they hack regularly.
In fact, the number of frequent posters who play the "saint" role is actually in the minority. Most work in shades of grey.

Overall, it seems that you're trying to say that the game sucks, so it's not really the abusers' fault if the exploit affects the game, although I may be getting completely the wrong message here.

Don't worry, you were wrong.
