There is no way for the player to know whether the pods purchased are made from exploit or not and you can't penalize the player for buying. If the pods are created from the exploit then at least refund the gold used to purchase.
Tell me, how is this any different from stealing? and why should I not chargeback my credit card for the thousands of dollars I've spent on NCoin under category of "merchandise never received"?
Actually, I encourage everyone else who's bought trove or converted any other sort of real money purchase into gold to charge back their credit card because we've effectively exchanged ncoin for gold then purchased items with this gold. Now that this gold is being stolen from us by NCSOFT it is the same as never receiving our purchase. Time for NCSOFT accounting department to get flooded with charge backs for stupid actions.
