Has this been fixed? I've only played a few sessions since WCOOP so I haven't had much time to observe the exploit since making the OP.
I tried to continue discussing the issue further via email with Stars because I didn't want to feed the moronic trolls who came out in full force when I made the OP, but Stars has failed to deliver anything but generic responses to me. I want to reiterate that this is a serious game integrity issue and that the people who have exploited it have gained a big, unfair edge on everyone else.
This is the other point that I want to address:

As I mentioned in the OP, a friend of mine, an extremely prominent and high volume player inquired about this issue with Stars MONTHS ago and was brushed off. By the end of WCOOP it was very clear to me and my friends that this exploit did in fact exist, and following my trip to UKIPT IoM, where I had multiple discussions with various Stars staff about the exploit, it was clear to me that fixing this was not a major priority. With that said, I find it disingenuous at best for you to say that you were only aware of it "a few weeks ago" and that my OP was irrelevant in regards to your "desire to make a change."
