Hey Sorceyy,
No, unless it can be proven these people are using hacks or exploits, they will not be given any penalties for using this method.
This method is an intended feature currently; there has been no statement that it isn’t one. Feedback on this, in combination with high spawn rates and user experience, has been posted by other users.

New servers in general will be added when there is enough demand for them.
In the beginning this is mostly determined by whether all in-game servers for a given server type and region are full most of the time -or always-, or only a few servers and for a very short period of time each day.
I adjusted the name of this post to better reflect its contents.
