I know this has caused some controversy on Guild Wars 2. They had a glitch where you could buy a weapon for half the regular price and sell it for full price and make a boatload of money. They banned ~3000 people who were using the glitch extensively to make money (meaning buying and reselling the weapons hundreds of times or more). Personally I think this is an acceptable ban, especially because all they had to do was send a ticket to the IT team saying they deleted the items/money and their ban was reduced to 3 days. In an MMO you have to very carefully protect your economy so that makes sense, but a lot of people were upset (even if they didn't take advantage of the exploit). It'll be interesting to see how complicated Bungie's banning policies have to be.
