Recall few years back there was a patch that broke merchants so you'd dupe simply by selling items on them. Ton of geniouses hurried to buy diamonds/black sapphires in EC (high value vendor items) to make the most out of the situation. Mass bans followed after the rollback.

One of my friends got banned in EQ for buying something in Thurg, running to another guy in Thurg and selling it, not sure the exact scam but you could make a hell of a lot of money from it, friend made a few million before being caught.

My favorite part of these stories is how people just become totally consumed by their greed and abuse the hell out of the exploit, which in turn probably contributes to their getting caught more so than if they kept quiet about it and only modestly used it.
