As it stands, nearly all problems in collecting data on MTurk can be solved by 1) using proper qualifications 2) paying enough.
If anyone is having trouble, feel free to reach out.
Source: Working with MTurk since 2013, including a 3 month internship in the belly of the beast. Starting a related PhD this fall.
