    It's a problem on Microsoft/Xbox's end, but they have to give us the procedures.

    It's like they'll get yelled out or tsk-tsked if they don't.

    Basically ignore the ambassadors since they can't help us.

    Microsoft is aware of the problem, and they have notified that it has been resolved, but due to the number of complaints the problem continues, unfortunately only Microsoft can fix the problem, it is necessary to wait.
