They won't permaban p2p's for this. Can't afford to lose subscribers.
On the other hand with f2p's... there's another story
Possible banwave after the talents exploit.

Of course you can. It's still his territory. You were not allowed to go in. It were his posessions. You will get prosecuted by the police.
If you think that this isn't theft, you should question your moral ideas. Period.
Same with blizzard. The talents weren't meant for you for good reasons, they just left the store open accidentally (or retardedly) and lots of people ran in to take the OP jewelry.

I think they will ban P2Ps anyway for this exploit. They have to. It's about time those P2Ps no-life (along with te F2Ps no-life) get a really check.
Anyway, if they permaban P2Ps for this exploit, many of them will be dumb enough to buy a new account and restart from the scratch.

these days blizz doesnt even perma ban p2ps when they use bots (atleast when they get caught the first or second time) so dont think paying customers will be perma banned for this

Never knew people still associated me to those actions, but that was 2 years ago, I am sorry if I killed you while doing it. I guess people don't forget.
Morals change over time, is all I can say.

The jeweler would go to authority and ask for help and everyone would laugh at his stupidity. I don't see what your getting at.

I'm not a thief nor never have been but if one of the biggest mmorpgs out there can't fix a little talent glitch then yeah i'm going to have some fun with it.

But your post said you cant get banned for it when you actually can.
I honestly don't care who does this and I wouldn't report them for it, but you're one of the guys that's always crying about balance and sportsmanship. But as soon as you got a chance at an "edge" you grabbed it like a fat kid in a sweet shop.
/run for i=1, 9999999 do time() end
That lag macro has worked since mid cata. Go use it. After all it's not you're fault it isn't fixed is it...

If anything I'm losing my edge, most of the classes I play lose tons of mobility for a cool looking talent that only does a small amount of damage or cc, I don't need the edge I just like experimenting with them.

Yeah, I forgot level 15 talents are better than 90 ones, my mistake. Just looking at your sig calls BS mate. But nevertheless, your point was it's not bannable because it's shouldn't be there in the first place. Well that's wrong.
I'm a blizzard hater too, but would you run a hotfix when there's a major content patch in 4 days?

There is also the notion of the attractive hazards, such as swimming pool in your backyard with no fence. Neighborhood kid drowns in it, the owner could be found liable somehow. Blizzard bears a good part of the blame on this one (not to take away from everyone's personal responsibility), and their neglect of their API has directly led to this. They should have known something like this would happen, again.
If it were my game, I'd take the best features from all the addons and macros almost everyone uses, put them into a standardized UI for everyone, and then remove all addons and macros from the game. There are just too many ways to abuse the system, and they don't have the resources to police it. This would take considerable resources up front, but in the long term it will save them time, money, and headaches.
You say, "How would I play without them?". Well, there are myriad modern games without direct access to the API in the game (I have yet to take my programming class yet, so my terminology might be incorrect). For example, Guild Wars 1 and 2 didn't have macros or addons, and they are very playable and the UI looks good no matter whose computer or account you play on.
I guess how this relates to the jeweler example is: if that jeweler left his doors open, and some goofball kid walked in a cut himself on some of the jewelers really cool looking, and insanely sharp tools, the business owner could be found liable for injuries. Probably wouldn't happen, but in this broken justice system, just about anything is possible.
