> Originally it did look like this issue was caused by Kris Kringle’s map giving ability and the way those rewards are logged on the server, however, a key factor ended up being Maps earned over not just one battle but over a number of battles - which made the problem grow exponentially as time went on regardless of whether you were using Kris Kringle or not. Kris Kringle basically exacerbated the issue but didn’t cause the issue. This is also why the issue wasn’t picked up when we were testing Kris Kringle.

Sounds like a combination of hypotheses #1 and #3 (mostly #3?) that I speculated over [here](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/known-issue-bans-for-everyone/78221/172), then?
