"The developers are now working on adjusting this system to prevent abuse, which will be implemented during our next maintenance on June 21th.
We would also like to thank the players that reported this to us, which makes it possible for us to take swift action against these issues."
It'll be dead today. Hopefully along with the accounts of those that abused it.
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

Ban ???? hahahahaahahahaahahaa
Kakao proposed to players to manually adjust their time clocks in order to fix another ingame bug related to journal.
Sooooooo sorry m8 but no banhammer for an exploit that was advised from the devs.

Expect for games like Destiny 2, their amazing client P2P un-exploitable *cough* gameplay, hmmm just you wait

I've NEVER seen such an easiest exploit in ANY mmo I've ever played.
They game is literally going down the drain fast, with super LAG issues, Server instability and exploits like this which gives an enormous advantage to the exploiters, while leaving them unharmed from the banhammer.
― Terry Pratchett,
This seems to me like the skill casting exploit, they couldn't find and ban it, the countdown timers were client-side hence they were exploited, they have since moved those to server-side to gain control over it.
I'd say the now billionaire exploiters will get away with this one. I wouldn't see the company putting too much effort to damage that was already done and money that already went deep though the game's economy.
You can use the Guild Wars 2 colossal drama with the karma exploit with the company personally hunting down and permabanning thousands of their players in a row in one almost vindictive act as one of their developers did a typo in a price.
Gross increases outside of normal patterns are easily identified and can be challenged.
Now will they bother to do so? Depends if they think its necessary to rebalance the game. (or save face)

Let them cry on the internet afterwards...
If they really wanted they might want to go see how much some have earned out of the normal, but this is that sort of thing that fix the issue and move on, if you saw GW2 with the Karma exploit you'll know it would gave them negative press as they took a rampage against cheating that perm-banned too many innocent people (including me, twice --'), didn't do much good.
We need to mind there's exploits open in any MMO you can think of, the big BIG factor is that those smart will prevent that such exploits and schemes will not be of public knowledge, we just hear about them once the information leaks but just imagine how long it was being exploited quietly and how many more are around nobody knows about.
If this exploit was possible,it means they were not even monitoring and collecting the relevant data,otherwise they would have seen the irregular patterns of players gaining materials from workers at an extremely high rate.
"Online gaming can be a whole lot of fun, but there are two problems that always seem to ruin it: Cheating and personality conflicts. I don't see solutions for those coming anytime soon. So the entire point is moot as far as I can tell."
By the time you are old, and you can overlook the cheating, you may find that the personality conflicts have spoiled the other half of the game. Indeed you may find that cheating arises from personality conflicts. If you could die in MMORPGs, these exploits would mean much less than they do when things enter the world which can never leave it. Bots, exploits, and RMT mean much less in a game with death. This reminds me of another quote:
" The very concept is broken to begin with. You can't have Lord of the Rings with everybody playing as Gandalf or some such. It's ridiculous. "
