Unstable ISO-8

Hmmm...

The last time something like this happened, they pushed out the change to the 5E node where it went from the second hit giving 3CP to giving 1CP for the second third and fourth hits. It was a planned change, but it was accidentally pushed early.

I am very worried. 

I will say that if this is the same thing, and the plan is to simply increase the number of clears, I'm done. I know nobody forces anybody to do all the clears, and I know nobody cares when a single person leaves the game, but this would have a gigantic impact on alliances, not to mention the individuals playing the game, and I'm 100% certain that I would not be alone.

I honestly can't see them upping the number of clears. Even 6 (or 7) clears is considered a lot by most, which has been voiced time and time again. Now, the devs certainly don't listen to all we have to say, but the number of clears has an enormous impact on our playing (time) and would certainly affect the number of players, so I'm pretty sure this was a mistake, not a preview of things to come.

And here I was thinking this was the devs response to our complaining about needing ways to get more resources. Here--grind these nodes 5 more times for a few hundred ISO...

Should it be renamed Unstable MPQ?

For players who (like me) got the 4 clears in under the temporary 12-step program (hey, maybe this was a subtle hint.  MPQ Anonymous has a nice ring to it) and now have 2/6 rewards gathered and 3 clears tomorrow to hit optimal points - and are not sure what they might miss if they leave that 6th reward unclaimed - I reviewed the rewards again.

Basically if you stop at 5/6 you will not collect a number of iso and riso rewards.  The 5E has an Elite token tucked away at the end if you feel like grinding it for a couple points and a likely 2*.  It's likely you won't really miss the rewards, but it's your call.

It seems unlikely that I will clear 6 on all nodes... right now Im on 4 and points bar are really low. I will not clear 5E for 0 points.
However I think I got 1 cp for second time. So we gained something on this fail.
