Uhh … that’s not fear mongering, dude. Blizzard has a long history of removing ill-gotten gains. Granted, I don’t know for sure what they’re going to do, but I’m thinking 80% chance that after they apply a fix they remove all materials acquired using the exploit. They’ve done that sort of thing in the past. No reason to believe they won’t do it here especially given all the panic over it.
So anyone who’s been taking advantage of the exploit. Enjoy your shinies! You probably ain’t keeping em, lol.
