Um, what? How did they exploit terrible design? They got a really high up guy to defect, and he happened to have the keys to a lot of stuff. Why would CCP roll that back? That's exactly the kind of metagaming they whole-heartedly encourage. You must have ties to BoB if you're going on about this "fair fight," e-honor stuff; this is how the game is played.
But really, what's most confusing is that you say a massive war was ended in seconds. BoB was highly entrenched in Delve and things had basically stagnated, there was less of a massive war going on than trifling skirmishes on the outskirts of their fortress. This singular event created a massive, chaotic free-for-all that injected a ton of life and activity into the region, and got a lot of people excited about the game again. Sorry for your loss.
the design is bad in that there's not good granularity of controls. You have to have someone holding pretty much all of the keys so there's not a way to even try to protect yourself against such actions.
