What is Arenanet's Policy on Exploiting?

Back around launch there were mass bans for the karma vendor and snow flake exploits.

I have seen several exploits come and go now, and all that happens is they fix it as quickly as possible.

Nothing else.

What this teaches me as a player is that I should exploit whatever I can whenever I can because I will get to keep all the spoils of my activities with no punishment.

I don’t think banning is required for my satisfaction, but I would like to see Arenanet taking back money or items from players who use exploits to acquire them.

Can anyone refute me on the following point?

Arenanet’s recent behavior in regards to exploits (patching them out of the game and doing nothing else) rewards those who exploit.
