I was specifically talking about glitches. The original double-speed glitch being the prime example. Of note: the latest video out there (from Disney) shows them giving up on trying to fix it, instead, offering special potions that allow other people to match the glitchers in speed...thereby destabilizing the servers further.

...the tone of your posts reads like the way I feel about the game. But it's not going our way mate. We are relics. To properly tighten up the game play experience of POTCO and make it more compelling for mature players simply would require too many development resources. At this point in the product cycle it's all about ROI.
I will not ever condone the current programming/management team's approach, of destroying the family game so as to remake it as a too-young children's game. Just accept that it is becoming a lame infant's game? Not I. It has too much untapped potential, still.

And no, it is not about return on investment. The entire game is supposed to be a loss-leader promotion tool for the movie(s). Will the Pirates 4 movie have Jack Sparrow playing mini-fishing-games in outer space?
