The problem is that we have gotten used to the early, broken mechanics that were caused by the neighbor issue and geotable corruption. It may well be that the current way the feature works is how it is supposed to work, but we don't know for sure. This particular thing had survived all the way from Dominions PPP, or from whatever point it was introduced and nobody has had experience with the current setup prior to 3.14.

Therefore it is not a given that it will be easy to curtail this effect quickly. I'm sure IW will take a serious look at it, but this may take some time. In the meanwhile we're going to have to live with it. I for one am glad the scales bug in its original form is gone. This is a whole different ball game.
