A Guild Wars 2 exploit which allowed players to generate as many prized ectoplasm as they wish has resulted in permanent bans. The exploit was introduced by the MMO's recent Wintersday event and has since been patched, with ArenaNet enforcing a relentless, no-excuses-accepted policy. In a thread on the official Guild Wars 2 forum (spotted by VG/247 ), ArenaNet Support Liason Gaile Gray justified the policy.

She signed off her post with the following words of wisdom: "Exploit closed. Worst offenders terminated. That's what has to happen to make things right for all of us."
