Im not blowing it out of proportion, I know these Lockets aren't going to cause a huge fluctuation in the market and ruin everyone's day. I know they are rare so its not like 100's of them dropped. This situation isn't what I'm concerned about.
Im concerned that people were abusing a known bug. This isn't up to debate to say it was intended for these to drop. Divinity/whoever knew this wasn't supposed to drop, and they stayed there knowing that. This is a direct violation of the rule I posted.
I don't see how this isn't against the rules.
Yes this may be similar to the Gem Encrusted Rings, but as you said this wasn't a high priority item. But if Pre Nerf Fungi's were dropping again you know everyone would have their panties in a bunch.
Just because it didn't cause a huge problem in the market then it's apparently ok to do this? Any bug that doesn't cause a huge problem in the market is now ok to abuse for a little because it's not that big of a deal? Thats a pretty bad stance on cheating/exploiting

You're just making a lot of assumptions is all. If they sat there for a week racking up loot before making this known, then I agree -- punishment is in order. But if it was petitioned immediately and they were in contact with GMs, then what are you punishing them for? Camping Chief? They're playing the ball as it lays. It all comes down to their openness with GMs. And obviously I'm assuming they didn't disobey any orders from GMs.
It comes down to information we don't have and will never know for sure. If they petitioned immediately and GMs said cool, thanks, we'll fix it soon, then it's the same as any other non-classic error pending correction. If they were sneaky about it and camped it for awhile before petitioning, or didn't petition at all, then they should be punished. By the way, they might have been punished for all we know. That kind of information isn't released. I imagine it all depends on how they went about petitioning, and whether or not they disobeyed orders from the GMs.
