Just making this to raise awareness. There was a major bug with the last th promo that allowed you to endlessly force purples that could even be multiplied. Essentially you could endlessly spawn 200-800m...

The bug was up for 12 hours and a huge number of people exploited it. It seems far too late to rollback and far too late for bans to actually have any effect other than punitive.

We should be outraged at this, mtx is one thing but th bugs this stupid that break the game... Just wow.

Hello Everyone,

This is an unfortunate bug and timing for the issue to occur - with it hitting right smack in the holiday season. I take responsibility for this! Our escalation process was used to get the issue hotfixed as quickly as we could. I will review the process with the team taking a look at our QA efforts prior and our resolution, find out what other improvements we can make.

Additionally, when things like this happen I want to make sure we are careful with our remedy. That we can identify the offenders as accurately as possible, and apply consequences accordingly. Would hate for us to make a problem worse.

Myself and the team will keep you posted on what we learn about this issue, impact and the remedy.

Regards

Mod Warden
