Almost any game can have an exploit, some game developers leave them and others take action against the players that are using the exploit.
When it comes to Carbine's MMO Wildstar, they're not taking prisoners.
An issue occurred within the source code of Gardening Plugs in WildStar, this issue opened up a gold exploit to players. In order to prevent any further misuse of the Garden Plug Carbine has disabled all tiers of Gardening on Live. To those that made use of the exploit Carbine "will not hesitate to lifetime ban accounts that have been caught abusing any exploits."
There is a way around a lifetime ban, if you know you did wrong and love the game enough to take a more mild punishment, you have the option to contact Customer Support. Your exploited items will be taken and a reduced punishment will be given. This offer will not be made by Carbine again.
What is the appropriate reaction to exploits and bots in games?
