We are still waiting for an Update from Staff, there has been no comments or turn over since the "Discussing"

Probably going to have to wait until after the release of the new region.

Looks to me like Pearl Abyss is taking a step in the right direction for handling the issue, they've at least delivered on step 1 of resolving the exploit; Removing the bad actors exploiting the system in unintended ways. I must say, great work! Here's hoping this means the devs are getting close to publishing a storage update, although I suspect they may not need to now. Is there any chance that we'll hear which of the community's suggestions for a new guild storage or permissions format have been taken into serious consideration, or should we just be waiting to see something on labs?

It was an ongoing issue, with more than one person doing this. 

The player banned was the only vocal one
