How do you expect players to make assumptions about content when a large majority of them do not know every single mechanic of WoW 1.12? You're developers and testers themselves do not even seem to know how things worked correctly as there are multiple inconsistencies with the function of things on the server when compared to videos of encounters from the original game.
I dont know for certain that those numbers are 100% accurate, but the point is there.
They should have acknowledged this was a server-side mistake, fixed the issue server-side, removed the items/gold from the player(s), and simply moved on to another issue.
Perma-banning players who put this much time into your server to "send a message" is pathetic, and will definitely not benefit anyone in the long-term. Banning these players will do nothing to cut down on the amount of "exploting" happening on Nostalrius in the future.
