If anything a clear message has been sent by Evony. If you see an exploit use it. Make sure you have more than one account using the exploit in the unlikely event one of your accounts gets suspended, the other will be fine.

Researching this to get the most eggregious violators would take 10 minutes (you have mysql dump a report of everyone above X resources with Y transports as of Z time when the exploit was fixed.) Then you run a report of everyone who sent more than X transports around reset time. If they did it more than 3 consecutive days, you bane them. All done. Wow - that was difficult. It would require a junior DBA and a spreadsheet. In a day of work, you would catch 90% of the biggest cheaters who used it. Would some others get caught unintentionally where it was coincidence? Sure - 1 in 100 would fit that profile. It's worth it to clean up the game.

If you don't ban them, at least reset their accounts to 0 troops, level 1 heroes, and 0 resources. Let them build it up legitimately.

I agree that very little will likely be done, though. Continuing these conversations helps, though. New players read this stuff and decide not to play the game or people on the fence of quitting see it and save their time and leave. Ultimately, that is what would force Evony's hand if this were being paid attention to (sorry to end a sentence with a preposition.)
