That is unfortunate. Without harsh consequences for exploiting, individuals will just weigh the risk vs reward and take the slap on the wrist.
They shouldn't have done any bans to begin with. This whole thing in general was just handled in such a pathetic way by ZOS. They should've made a statement about it when it was going on, they didn't. People warned them more than enough, they didn't care. And now when all is said and done, they just ban some people as a show of power.
The bans were RNG, there are more than enough people who farmed many millions of AP and didn't get banned.
AP removal was RNG, some people got their AP removed from one character, some from every character, and some from none.
Absolutely pathetic.
No this punishment will have huge effects for the future as any who does something which could considered exploiting will think twice about doing it

The mass ban on people using CE, the mass suspensions on people abusing the writ survey exploit, even the suspensions on the BB exploit had little to no affect on the resource flipping. If ZOS wants to have a lasting affect on cheating, they need to be timely and consistent with suspensions and bans. ZOS also needs to be up front and communicate what they consider a TOS violation. During the double AP event, resource flipping was all over the forums, ZOS should of clearly spoke up about it.
