Well, the problem with this is this:
Once a cheater / exploiter has gained illegal points and / or items, then they will obviously use these to gain other points and items, more and faster than they would legally be able to, because these let them take on MOBS they wouldn\'t usually be able to tackle when not bugged, and kill others quicker. Thus, even if you later on take those original illegally gained things away, the balance will
still be severely shifted to the benefit of the cheater / exploiter. Therefore, only a complete reset can fix this, given that, just as with the crystal hunt, nobody will ever be able to approximate what was illegally gained by whom and where it ended up, including secondary effects.
Edit: BTW: kudos to KillNnikk and Ekelios! Even though the name \"KillNnikk\" does suggest a really bad PL, the act of reporting this instead of exploiting it deserves a lot of respect! :tup:
