You are accessing areas you are not (yet) supposed to be able to, by means that were obviously not intended, thus gaining an unfair advantage and ruining a good game.
exploit

— n
1. a notable deed or feat, esp one that is noble or heroic

— vb
2. to take advantage of (a person, situation, etc), esp unethically or unjustly for one's own ends
3. to make the best use of: to exploit natural resources

You are confusing exploit with shortcut, though if an admin sees the Pyra one, I think they would act on it.

The SkyRace shortcut was intentional.

The LegoPyra one I will need to be told about.

Sorry you feel that way, but if you're going to throw all your toys out of the pram just because you've been banned for doing something which it's completely obvious wasn't intended at all, then good riddance and good bye.

On Legopyra, On the way to final obj, if you have the correct speed on the bumps it makes you jump high enough to go through the sidewall of the bridge and you may land on the bridge itself.

After watching the video, I wonder if this way to glitch was intended or not. Ok the first part of the glitch (climbing on the trees...) is to get around the map; but why is there a chimney allowing you to go down once on the building? Why is there no gate? Did Socio think about it?
Its all about the game, and how you play it
All about control, and if you can take it
All about your debt, and if you can payit
Its all about pain and whos gonna make it...

The chimney is for the aesthetic benefit of the vent passageways - somewhere along there is an upwards vent which allows you to see the sky. If it was intended as a route, Socio would have decorated the area nearby.

Just like Aza said.
That vent is there since v2. Hera v2 was flat terrain and the area was surrounded by cliffs so getting on top of that building was impossible, through the time when I was improving the map visualy there was lots of changes made to that area. I generaly tested it for possibilities iof glitching, but people will always seek to find new ways of glitching.

Zoliny, why you get surprised that if I ban you for the same glitch once then you get banned again?

I still say one of you should have just put a grill / invisible wall over this vent and been done with it the first time it happened :D
