This is no longer just a bug, its now an exploit. If you are a Commander, you must know of this problem by now. If you don’t, I would expect you to react in a responsible way once your are told.
Exploiting this bug is the same as exploiting any other bug. It is the wrong choice. We all agree that this must be fixed, and its unfortunate that the Commander feature is not an option until it is fixed, but that is the reality.
It would be really awful to get banned after spending 100 gold to get the Commanders manual. I hope that those people have the ability to discern their priorities.
