Sales must have been hurting with the constant negativity coming from the "top" creator and others (you only had to read the comments from regular players to see the bad sentiments) for Pixonic to come up with this scheme and I think it is a smart move on their part. Sadly, I feel that it is a slippery slope for creators. The "glass half empty" style creators will need to change tact and move to a half full style delivery if they want to get that reach around from Pixonic. Videos like the ones showing the lousy drop rates from event chests and ultimate schmuck style games will become "Oh I really needed those 500 components to get close to building X" instead of "500 components of a useless bot that has been nerfed anyway".
The events drop rates changed in percentages ... and I didn't save the data from the last event to check it but there's a post from me somewhere in General Discusison here on it.
Now the argument needs to be "I've got all these partially completed weapons, so more parts are better than new complete weapons". Legendary rate dropped, epic dropped, rare increased. Rare, my 「bum-bum」.

Is that a fact? Sources? If true, that's a big piece of the puzzle that makes the big picture clearer now. No wonder so many wanted to burry the petition. It was bad for business. As juicy as it sounds, I think the scheme came out slightly before the "wolves" got a taste of Banni's prime cuts (as mentioned above). Either way, time will tell how this incentive might lead to some thinking twice before providing negative feedback on videoes.
Yes, the earliest video I know of where a content creator had posted their web store code on YouTube was round about the 20th January. The petition group was formed in early Feb and they only found out about the Ban in early March.
So everyone was already getting a bite of Pixonic's cake before and after the event. All except for the one not invited to the party.
In the final scene of The Lord of the Rings Return of the King, Aragorn's heroic charged inspires everyone else to charge with him. But in this story the fellowship disbands because they were only there to deliver a petition and not fight a war. Aragorn can't defeat Mordor by himself and Pix-Sauron wins. There are no wolves in this story unless you count Wolfblood.

LoL. The fellowship threw the "ring" back at Aragorn and said stuff that, you're on your own bro. Still a better love story than the Twilight saga though.

Its been a lose-lose for the community. With the loss of the petition, the apparent co opting of the content creators, I expect Pigsonic to be even more emboldened and the grift machine turbo-charged.
I dont expect much of anything from the big creators now other than glorified infomercials. I'll be happy to be wrong though...
Luckily some of the smaller creators who arent in Pigsonics pocket are doing some good videos showing all the BS.
