Time for a statement?
It’s been plenty of time since the yog buff came to light.
The economic damage the yog buff has done to the game is big, Jun 17, 2020 was the last update we’ve had: https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forum/index.php?threads/yog-pet-buff-issue.272776/. Here you stated the following:
It amazes me that DannyO who used an official TP chip to make some skills was banned within a week and stripped of all MF skills without ANY form of communication to him but people that have potentially abused the yog buff for YEARS receive no punishment AT ALL.
So we're roughly 2 months further, no statements, nothing. Why was DannyO so severely punished but this big group of players can walk away? Money talks? If you set an example by punishing someone like that doing nothing makes no sence.
I honestly try to believe you and your team have immense passion for this game. It's not just a cash cow for you. But undeniably, it's that too. And, frankly, that's just business, which I can respect. MA is a company, they have to finance servers, development, etc. I get it.
But you gotta understand that when we're going for an extended period of time with these concerns and then not only are they ignored but we're given some half-baked, half-empty statement instead...well, then statements like these... (AMA statement posted many times)
...are a massive understatement.
The recent statements about communication say it you listen to theplayer-base and I'd be interested to hear what the community thinks. Is there a solution to this problem that doesn't hurt MA financially?

“We will be conducting this investigation over the next few weeks, with the intention of increasing the prize rewards for any participants who were pushed down in the final standings due to another higher-placing participant benefitting from the unintended pet buff.”

No one would use a mining pet in mayhem for the full duration, easy to spot. Check how many times the same pet changed hands (by the same group of players). Easy to check.“ MindArk has decided it would be unfair and impractical to punish participants who directly or indirectly benefited from the unintended buff.”

We want to avoid making similar mistake by revealing plans before we are certain that they will be implemented in a certain way. As with all of our design decision, it always comes down to a question of allocating our limited resources and manpower to the most important projects that benefit the greatest number of participants
