In all honesty, exploiting a bug publicly like this does eons more towards getting it fixed than simply reporting it. Not saying I condone the action toward a legit village (although WF dudes have given off a certain haughty attitude on the forums), but we will most likely see the exploit fixed somewhat soon thanks to this happening.
Sad that that's the way it has to work, but simply reporting a bug doesn't mean it will get noticed or addressed in a timely manner.
