They should remove the news then about permanent banning of accounts.
What I find weird is the inconsistency of punishments. For previous bugs, no actions were taken against players who benefitted from these glitches. I don't think it was correct for Haypi to leave these players untouched or no actions to reverse the unfair advantage. However, because there is a precedence, their actions right now seem harsh and unfair.
Two reasons for their immediate and severe action from their perspective:
1) The effect of the level rush bug is too much. As, advanced skill books, exp, gems, and money were all rewards of doing the attempts several times. Lots of advantages for those who discovered the bug. So, the quick action on their part is good IMHO. I'm more embarrassed that I didn't report the glitch as I should have.
However, I agree with what Swift said, the frustration from the respins and drop rate of advanced book chests contributed a lot to my behavior. And I was under the assumption that they'll fix it immediately anyway so I exploited it for several hours.
2) I think it was fairly easy to detect who took advantage of the bug compared to say, PVP championships dual account use. Therefore, it was easy for them to track down the players involved.

While I think those two are the biggest reasons for their quick action, I also get the feeling they have a different priority on addressing player concerns. When it comes to them losing a lot of money, they do enact on it very quickly. That's perfectly understandable but, I wish they'd do the same for our concerns.
That said, the update is a testament that they listen to the player's feedback and suggestions.
I think the news was just misleading and I think the decision on banning accounts for AT MOST 3 days is fairly reasonable.
I think pvp duol system was left untouched, mostly because some players can say, oh, that's my mom's phone and her account. She doesn't mind helping me, so she agreed to fight and lose to me...
Then..very hard to deal with this situation.
