Using multiple AP resets is a bannable offense? Uh-oh

I was reading the Nexon forums, and one of the moderators mentioned that with this SC, they might be banning anyone who used multiple AP resets. Apparently, the fact that each character could get one was a bug. I personally thought that it was 1 set per character (in prep for the Big Bang). I had heard that someone found a glitch that let the same character generate them multiple times, and that was obviously a bug, but wasn't it ok for say your Aran to get a set, and your I/L mage? I looked back through the event announcements for the dual blade patch (many pages when you actually cut and paste it all into Word), and guess what- there actually was 1/2 a line of text buried in the announcement that said 1 AP reset per account, not 1 per character. My reaction- uh-oh, I messed up! The stupid message kept popping up on every character ever few minutes, so I accepted. I used the things on characters that needed them, and characters that didn't need them I just left them there in the Cash Shop. (Not all, most of my builds were ok). Am I the only one that made this mistake? Did anyone else actually use SP or AP resets from more than one character, or was I the only 'hacker' that apparently decided to abuse a glitch that I didn't realize was a glitch? Man, too bad they don't go after DC hackers and mesos sellers spamming in the FM and via SMegas as much as they go through people just trying to have fun with their events. Edit: For those that are wondering, here's the text from the moderator/volunteer in the Nexon General Discussion forum (thread title is "To -Hime's- Server Maintenance 27/07/201 ") As for the AP/SP reset thing, that should be fixed too. Though be aware that if you benefited from the glitch (getting the resets on multiple characters) you may end up banned considering the announcement for them specifically says that it's only for one character per account. Edit #2: Please note it was just a random discussion/thought from a Nexon Volunteer, not Hime or something. At this point any ideas of perm-banning are still speculation on behalf of a "volunteer"- the ones with the special symbols under their usernames in the forums. Edit #3: The fact is that it appears some accounts that got the AP resets and used them on different characters are glitched/banned (I know my 2 mains are- I can't get past the PIC entering phase), so Nexon's obviously taking some sort of action. Whether this action is a perm ban or not, I guess we'll need to wait for. There's a couple threads on Nexon's forums dedicated to people that also can't log in after using AP resets, many of them seem to have used it on multiple characters, so that could be the cause there.

Wait, what? 1 AP resets? Not 10,15 or 20? o_o or did you mean 1 Set of AP Resets. lol. Anyways I didn't get that glitch... or even if I do, I didn't accept it except on my Spearman, which is STILL glitched. Anyways, Nexon is evil.

So people are being punished because they wanted to get rid of the stupid pop up that kept happening? Genius.... I really doubt it could you link to the post. Edit: Ok so i read more into it and someone said it's because people were generating infinite AP resets on 1 character now that is a glitch and you can be banned for that.

I used multiple, butif you ask me it's a huge mistake on Nexon's part. Why making people who were unaware of this be banned while Nexon didn't implant their stuff right? I wasn't sure whether it was per account or per character but since I got more on other characters, I guessed it was per character.

Hopefully Nexon won't do anything that stupid. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure they'd be banning thousands of high levels, and I don't think that would be good for them. I get how it's a bannable offense cause we're exploiting a bug, but it's a stupid reason, and yea like someone else said, how are they going to track it all.

I dont think they'll be banning people for it. They would be banning way too much of their population for something that was, as usual, their fault.

Lets say I didnt read this post about the AP/SP giveaway...logged in the game and "YaY I got free AP reset"...went into CS took it out...a couple days later went in again and saw more AP reset...should I not be using something I was given? this is the most unbanable occasion i have ever seen. if they ban anyone for this,they will face a big number of court days.
