If someone did it once maybe, but anyone who did it 3+ times knew exactly what they were doing. No world boss has worked this way when current.
Now I know why someone was asking in /1 if he was “still giving bonus rolls” earlier.

By why should people who pay $15 a month suffer because the billion dollar company cant release something without bugs ?

People who knowingly take advantage of an obvious exploit are basically saying “it’s worth the risk!” when doing this sort of thing.
If nobody got a penalty everyone would do it.

So just delete the ill-gotten gains, this is like a government putting a bag of money somewhere and saying “only one bag of money per, person” and if you take two bags of money you go to jail.
It should be obvious that it isn’t something Blizzard intended.

Just because you can do something, even due to the mistake/s of another, doesn’t mean you should.

I didn’t get any items from Ivus, should I be banned for killing him more than once? cool that blizz makes a code error and I should be banned for doing new 8.1 content.
If the bank messes up and credits you $100 you don’t have, and then you go and spend that money, guess what? You owe the bank $100! That’s how things work.
Yes but I woudnt be banned from using the bank. LOL
Let them keep everything RNG sucks in this game anyway.

You would if you refused to pay the money back! Also they might blacklist you depending on how much of a hassle getting the money back was.
Think of it more like using an ATM glitch to take out more cash than you had, that would get you in loads of trouble for exploiting their systems.
Showing yet again that you are intentionally being obtuse about the topic. If the money was a large enough amount, you absolutely would be banned from the bank (account closed) and they might even press criminal charges.
“I tried to exploit the bug but I didn’t actually get any loot! Please don’t punish me!”
That’s all your post says to me.
Yes that is what it says
if people got badly earned loot, delete the loot.
why should they be banned? isn’t losing your loot and time enough.
A good example of what may happen is to look up the story of those that abused Dragon Soul’s LFR loot bug at launch.

No that’s not enough. They shouldn’t have intentionally exploited a bug.
Using a very simple analogy, if you cheat in a game of monopoly by taking extra money from the bank having to give the money back isn’t a punishment. That’s just putting things back to the way they should be. It’s just undoing you being a cheater. The penalty is when everyone else tells you to piss off, that you’re not allowed to play the game anymore because they don’t play with cheaters.
Except no it’s not enough, simply removing the loot doesn’t guarantee they won’t do it again the next time an exploit like this is available.
If a kid puts their hand in the cookie jar and get caught, but only scolded do you really think that’d stop them from doing it again?
So the kid deserves a ban from treats even though his parents offer up treats and didn’t store them away properly.
Yes. Welcome to real life, where your actions have consequences even if someone else made a mistake that you’re trying to unscrupulously capitalize upon.
Thats bad parenting
don’t offer up the treat unless its controlled.
This isn’t about bad parenting or anything else. This is about a conscious decision to deliberately abuse mechanics in a game. You should accept the full consequences of your actions. You can’t just go “Oh no, it wasn’t my fault. They made it so accessible and easy.” You still made a choice to do it.
