According to the claims by those who have reported the issue online, the New World November patch appears to have begun randomly compensating some players with 300K gold coins. These massive handouts have been reported by players with no relation with the war declarations that the patch’s compensation program was meant to address. This has been met with criticism, especially after a response from Community Moderator Pneuma that some players have seen as making light of a bug that may disrupt the in-game ecconomy.
