not sure how it was abused in masses since it was after wave 90 and you couldnt get that far with playtimes running and the mean reason they said they were taken was that people didnt report it again not many people knew since wave 90 wasnt achievable unless you had a beta key, and were lucky enough to not crash, and lucky enough to actually get people in the game to play together most of the time it only allowed 1 person in, and then you had to be lucky for your cannon to not stop leveling sometime it stopped at lvl 3 or any random level and you basically had to reset or play extremely hard mode with 3 people and cannon not leveling up for ammo. I dont care that the items werent functional i actually have spent less time on fishing at 20 than cd and i had barely gotten my ram and fishing just rained free famed on me. The devs themselves said that it gave a " astronomical " advantage. I just think them taking rams away and saying they are gone someone people abused a bug that people didnt know about and we are taking the ones from fishing then saying they are gone deal with it and in this instance they dont care at all.
