Regarding exploits, Ubisoft has said the following:

Identifying and fixing bugs before releasing new content is one of the most important steps in game development… Unfortunately, we cannot simulate the experience that millions of different players will have and how they will play the game. As a result, some bugs may slip through bug testing, and may be introduced when an update is released. If it happens that a bug reaches the game and can be used by players to gain experience, we need to be able to react and solve it, but also discourage players from exploiting this bug until it is solved. This is why we will begin to take a stricter stance against players who abuse exploits.
