I made it clear that it existed and that to remove it now would present a disadvantage to those who are over the 75 mil limit and planning to ascended compared to those who have already used it. I gave an idea that would make the broker manipulation not needed, but he is still debating upon the best course of action to take. Until then though he will not remove the 'bug' or 'broker trick' because it wouldn't be fair.
Isn't that the case with all "bugs" though?
Most people go on using them, sometimes unaware that what they were doing was ever a bug, but in the end, it gets stopped as it was never meant to be implemented that way.
2 "bugs" come to mind. Training bug, many many moons ago, which everyone was able to use, but only a hand full found it and were using it to their advantage. And then more recently, a planet bug, which many people used, but one group decided to use on a larger scale to wipe out a seemingly unbeatable player. The bugs all were fixed up, even though it was unfair for those who didn't take advantage.
If the game admin is aware that it's actually a bug, and people are still going out of their way to exploit it, knowing full well it was never the intention of the creator to have the function, then they should be faced with whatever punishment former bug exploiters were privy to.
