Pluto Studio changes vKitty related airdrop standards to combat bot accounts, and the lack of communication has caused player dissatisfaction
ChainCatcher news, after the announcement of the Catizen airdrop allocation information, some players expressed dissatisfaction with the changes to the token distribution model and allocation standards that were not communicated. Developer Pluto Studio admitted that they did not disclose the changes in standards in advance. After the CATI airdrop interface opened, several players expressed disappointment on X, as the rewards they received were lower than expected.In addition, the Catizen team had previously stated that the vKitty income rate in the game would be the main determining factor for airdrop allocation. However, earlier last Sunday, after revealing the airdrop allocation to players, Pluto stated that it had actually changed the design of the airdrop upon discovering that some players were artificially increasing their income. It stated: "During the review of the data for this CATI airdrop, we found that many bot accounts were exploiting this public rule by using scripts to increase their vKitty profit rate, attempting to obtain a large amount of CATI tokens.In this case, adhering to the original airdrop standards would severely harm the interests of genuine players and community supporters. Therefore, the airdrop standards were adjusted to minimize the vKitty profit rate, focusing instead on 'factors that more accurately reflect real player activity, such as: on-chain interactions, task completions, fish coin purchases, and consumption.'" Decrypt sought comment from Pluto Studio, including why it did not ban cheating players but instead changed the standards for all users, but did not receive an immediate response.
