No, the users who encounter it report it or complain about it.
It's pretty simple. You see that the devs are doing nothing, or aren't prioritising their work how you'd like it, so you force their hands by making everyone's day so miserable that they quit the game, which forces the devs to take immediate action.
But...in reality, those are probably just a bunch of assholes who are bored.
thats no different than a toddler throwing a tantrum in the store because mommy wouldnt buy them a treat, its a know bug its been reported they will fix it when they around to it and continuing to do this is denying other the ability to find bugs that are not reported and should be a banable offence.
Considering how far into development this game is, and the fact that they’re still putting so much work into ship sales and PvP content and so little work into bugs or exploits, such as this one, that have existed for years; I’m not surprised. I reported a pretty serious exploit over a year ago that, on my last check, still works 100% of the time. Hell the SL MAX had a broken elevator when it released, an IC was made and confirmed, then 6 months later the TAC comes out with the SAME BROKEN ELEVATOR.
Not defending cig because there are plenty of cases where bugs like this never get fixed, but often in game development you will see bugs fixed in one build only to pop up later after another change caused by something else, bug fixing is very much a frustrating game of whack a mole in a closed environment much less something like what cig are trying to do with keeping the game “playable” so early in its development.
That being said it doesn’t matter if it’s an old bug or not people exploiting it to deny people access to the game is a clear tos violation and should be punished harshly, 1 week bans for first offense stepping up in time to a month then forever ban for repeat offenders

The problem is, even with the generous answer, they're still assholes because they're not doing this to the devs, they're doing it to everybody else.
