The problem here is not if they meant to cause the exploit. It's that they noticed the exploit, acknowledged its effect, and kept at it regardless. That, in itself, warrants a temporary ban.
Regardless, Blizzard has more information/logs than any of you scrubs can possibly have. Ensidia members are obviously biased in this matter. The decision does not lie with us, a bunch of uninformed individuals and/or tainted jury pool.
The mod sums it up very well: the matter is not up for discussion. It's the same as a judge does not have to answer to every scrutiny, especially not to an uninformed public.
End of the line is that Ensidia abused a glitch KNOWING it is there. It made the encounter easier, and they knew it. Yet, they pushed onward. The penalty might have been too severe, but it is an otherwise sound decision by Blizzard. Ensidia is at fault here. The penalty itself is not exactly up to questioning.
