[UPDATED JULY 12] IMPORTANT NOTICE: Known Exploit and Abuse of Exploits

Commanders,
We have recently become aware of an active bug that has the potential to be used as an exploit in some of the most difficult content in the Game, making it significantly easier, compromising the integrity and challenge of these game modes and content.
This is not a situation that we can allow to continue and must address as quickly as possible.
Until we can fix this bug, we are going to act quickly to ensure that nobody can gain an advantage in the game and tip the balance through the use of this exploit.
We will also be taking actions to ensure that Alliances that knowingly used this exploit will not be able to profit from this in Alliance Missions by removing them from eligibility for Rank Rewards in this round of Alliance Missions.
We want to reiterate that the use of exploits in the game is not okay. Exploitation of a bug, regardless of the situation can result in some sort of disciplinary action. These disciplinary actions can range from actions like the ones we are taking today, up to a lifetime ban. Exploiting bugs unbalances the game for players that do not use these exploits or are unaware of them. For a refresher on our policies towards cheating and the use of exploits, please read this thread here: http://forums.transformersforgedtofight.com/discussion/482/on-cheating-and-using-exploits
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but this is a necessary step in mitigating an exploit that we cannot allow to continue to exist any longer than it must. We will be working to fix this bug as soon as we can, and look forward to returning the game to its regular state as soon as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.

While looking further into the use of this exploit, we discovered that this exploit has been used in more game modes than just Alliance Missions. It had been used in some of the most difficult and rewarding content in the game, including the Rulers of Kaon.
To reiterate, the intentional abuse of an exploit is strictly prohibited by the rules of the game. It compromises the accomplishments of Commanders that complete difficult content legitimately, and unbalances the game for everybody. We want to inform all of you that we do not take this lightly, and will be acting accordingly. Any players that abused this exploit to defeat the Rulers of Kaon Special Mission will have the rewards that were awarded from the Mission taken away, and any Bots that were ranked up using the Sparks awarded from the Mission will have their rank ups reverted.
