So why are so many posters here exploiters?

As can be seen in most of the recent Neverwinter exploit threads approximately 30% of the posters it seems say that the exploit was known for 3 weeks or more. Well, known to them anyway. Which leads one to ask if these players knew about it why didn't they report it?
Obviously the mostly likely reason was because they were exploiting it themselves. But if this is all the case why do they post so agressively in the Neverwinter threads that cryptic should be punished for a exploit they used or at the very least didn't report for some reason? (A logical explaination here would be nice)
Now don't try and say you did report it to Cryptic and they did nothing as thats BS, if that was the case why not just send a message to Bill here at MMORPG.com describing the exploit so MMORPG.COM could blow the lid off of the story?
I could be wrong but it seems the only 2 real reason are those posters saying the exploits been known for the last 3 weeks either (A) were the exploiters exploiting with it and now are pissed because they are banned, or (B) simply didn't know anything about it either till this weekend and now are saying "Oh yeah well the exploits been known about for weeks because i heard about it from some unknown poster on the internet yesterday.!" (always a good honest source of factual information... Not, but lets jump on the hate bandwagon anyway because obviously Cryptic knew about the exploit and wanted their game to fail from it rather then fix it.)
Am interested in seeing what these people that claim to be in the Know have to say.

It's a puny vocal minority... people always remember the bad over the good.
actually been known about for months...

t was reported tirelessly and they didn't care... why are you making these troll threads? Are you offended that people have a rational complaint against your love interest?
How many games you beta test and know the bugs were there and the game was unpolished, but the Company went and rush it out the door....Even though people reported it.It IS THE TIMELINE and the money thats counts...Here a good one...If you pre order now we will throw in what ever and what ever..So you rushed and bought the pre order and the game became a epic fail...Ouch!
I retired retroactively..Haha
Let me sum this up for you:
1. Exploits should never be made public if you find one. It should go into a bug report only. There have already been people who said they reported this exploit and got banned for it.
2. Cryptic and PWE did not react to fix this fast enough. By not acting on the issue earlier, they set a new standard for player behavior. Any behavior that an authority allows to happen among a group becomes the new standard given enough time. This is the way social models work. The use of the exploit reached a point where its acceptance grew exponentially and caused the crisis event.
3. The exploit was a result of a really lazy coding and testing process. If you are running a business, the first thing you always make sure works correctly is the cash register.
I didn't use the exploit. I didn't know about it. I promise if this was my game though...this would have never happened.
I heard the dinosaurs spoke of it, and that's why they were wiped out by ninjas. I'll link the forum thread that offers proof to this later, can't find it right now.
you can find proof of it in the STO thread explaining how they knew about this bug because it happened months ago in STO.
