There's a major difference between exploiting omnipresent known bugs while they last and working hard to CREATE new exploits.

There are degrees of severity. For instance, all the consumables (food, drink, buffs, etc...) of the game replenish after server reboot. Everyone on the server knows that and benefits from this bug and even though it creates a hole in the economy, it can't be considered an exploit. It doesn't make someone OP (the way duping items does for instance )and it will hopefully be treated soon.
Each case must be treated individually. Stricter punishments doesn't mean generalizing penalties and lifting the ban hammer on every moving player.

Speed hacking on the other hand requires the player to install and fiddle with third-party programs or tools. It's a completely different level of action.
And no matter the whining and justification you may add to the discussion, it is now a first category offense. Live with it.
