Just did a Google earlier today and not 100% sure I found the right terms and conditions, but the terms I looked at -- which were pretty OK -- included a so called catch all provision. I am on the phone now, but basically something like cheating and acting in a sense that violates the "spirit of the game", in the eyes of Nordeus, is not legal. I looked through this very very quickly, but that was my impression.

There is a limit on farmable Rests and by these methods these guys get unlimited resources, definitely a clear circumvention of limits for other players. Also, if we compare the VPN method with this, why should one be banned and not the other? I think Nordeus just is following protocol and that does take time. Like I am sure it actually is "easy" to stop from many perspectives. But TE is huuuuuge, nobody want to do something I a hurry and accidently wipe out the game for a couple of weeks because they made a mistake...

I get the idea to be able to Rest loaned players, BUT I don't think that it's a must. Very far from it. And considering the cheating possibility it enables, I would vote in favor turning the possibility to rest loaned players off if it's the fastest action. Sure, if it is easy to limit it to like 3 Rests per week, or something like other have suggested, great. But otherwise, turning back the clock would for me just be a very marginal loss.
