    If usage of a bug provides an advantage over someone who is not using bugs its called exploiting. It does not matter if this bug is new or old and well known. It does not matter if everyone else can use it. The only thing that matters is advantage over someone who did not use bugs (no matter the reason). If there is no advantage- its just a bug, not an exploit.
    If a bug gives advantage over someone who does not use it - its exploit. Simple as that.
    The panalties for using exploits are:

    • First offense: warning
    • Second offense: temporary suspension
    • Multiple offenses: permanent ban

    Have you ever played an online game before? Probably every single MMO on the market has exploiting as a bannable offense.

    Programmers cannot anticipate everything, and even once found, bugs and exploits take some times to fix. Meanwhile players can cause quite a lot of damage using it, either by distorting leaderboards, getting strong loot etc. That's why exploits are usually taken pretty seriously in online games, at least by most developers who also take the integrity of online player environment seriously.

    It IS a form of cheating, because clearly it's not intended by developers to work this way and it provides unfair advantage. Every player who ever played any MMO should be aware exploits like this are not ok to use and using them may be penalized.
