Quest Return Exploit Friday 1st of July

Hi guys, Friday evening,
as you probably know, between server restarts, there was a bug causing all quests to be permanently completed.
I was in Dragon Wake in the warcamp and tested it at the NPC Yilia Kinslayer. I could hand in the 25 killquest , retake it and hand it in again immediately. I got 2 times 74 silver out of this. So I suppose I owe that amount.

(This exploit is not possible anymore, otherwise I would not have written about it here.)

However at the aforementioned time the 50-50-50 Kill quest NPC Maraden Netherflame in Dragon Wake RvR warcamp was swarmed by destros who were obviously massively retaking this quest, which rewards 3 gold. In the time between server restarts it would have been pretty easy to gain not only a prominent amount of gold but also some people were most probably also profiting from the 80.000 exp the quest rewards.

I just wanted to put this out here as an appeal for you to find out who exploited this bug on a serious level and to maybe undo the damage or hand out some punishments as you seem fitting.

Thank you for this server, lets keep it clean :)

I'm innocent I tell you! Innocent!!!

(I wasn't on at the time and wouldn't have exploited anyways.)
I'm not stupid, I see that yellow x has been banned by y for z messages.

we are aware of this and are activly looking into it.

The worst part was beeing able to get medallions. I do not have any authority to decide on anything but I am all for a wipe of gold and medallions for any exploiters of this (major exploit)

I saw a lot of lvl 20 or so characters running around yesterday in nothing but the starting gear. I wonder why that is. :P

This exploit/bug merely existed for 10-15 minutes, i doubt that there is any serious damage done by it.

So the t4 quests give 3gold per hand in. A person can, at max speed, hand this in close to 10 times per minute. 10mins = 300gold. This is before the thought of a script that could've done it at a much faster speed.

T3 quest gives 1 officer medallion, 10 medallions a minute, not that great tbh, but the amount of people that apparently did it could add up.
