During the recent 50% off everything in the Zen market sale I went hog wild (way way overboard) and bought myself 6 of the "50 Enchanted Keys & 1 Month VIP" packs and far too many other items to list (I don't want to think about it).
However to my utter dismay when inspecting my VIP level I notice that it has not changed at all from the level 9 that it was at the start. I'm also fairly certain that a few of the VIP tokens didn't register as by my math the days remaining are a bit short.
I'm hoping that this is an unexpected error that will be addressed and that the purchased VIP will be added to our VIP rank.
If the 30 days of VIP in this pack was intentionally not meant to increase our VIP rank that's pretty cheesy
Has anyone else had issues with these packs?
Comments
The VIP Zen Item specifically states that it gives an X amount of VIP Points to increase Rank:
While the 50 keys + 30 Days VIP does not:
In any case, I have asked for them to clarify this, whether a rank increase is intended or not with the key+vip days pack.

> Yes i confirm is Just 30days extension... You guys know if 50off zen market pop again be4 event done ??? Tt
>
No
I'm not sure I see the problem....
The item did exactly what it says it would. You guys assumed it would do something it didn't say it would and we all know what happens when you assume.
I'm not sure I see the problem....

Following that line of logic the item in question didn't state that it wouldn't increase the VIP rank either.
Clarification was needed by me and and many other players on the topic and that clarification was given by Zeb.
It would be nice if it stated "This item will not increase VIP rank" right in the description then folks wouldn't have to guess.
There's is no problem, there was a question and an answer....
Thanks for your input though

Thanks @zebular for the clarification and prompt response
We are looking into how we can update the bundle in the future so that the VIP token will provide ranks but we have no specifics or ETA at this time.
> Honestly you guys shouldn't complain. You pretty much bought 80 keys for 2500 zen. All you need is vip 1.
Actually, I purchased 2 packs (100 keys) with the same expectation that it would bump my Rank 10 to 12. I was flabbergasted to discover that it did not. Obviously, if you are a seasoned player you understand their descriptions, but for a noob like myself who is only familiar with purchasing VIP through the normal tab, I honestly did not think there would be a difference when i see something else offering "VIP". This is not the only thing they are unclear on in their descriptions as i have had this happen to me on other occasions thinking i was getting something but nope i was wrong. A simple line stating "this pack does not increase you VIP Rank" would have made all the difference and NO, i would not have paid 5000 zen for 50 keys alone, the thought of increasing my rank to 12 was the seller. So disappointed that even after making a ticket for this item, they basically spat in my face and said your an idiot. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING IN GAME EVER AGAIN.

I am so glad to hear that i am not the only one that misunderstood this. I purchased 2 packs (100 keys) with the same expectation that it would bump my Rank 10 to 12. I was flabbergasted to discover that it did not. Obviously, if you are a seasoned player you understand their descriptions, but for a noob like myself who is only familiar with purchasing VIP through the normal tab, I honestly did not think there would be a difference when i see something else offering "VIP".

My brother sold me on this game promising that they care about the community and value their players. What is so disappointed that even after making a ticket for this item, they basically spat in my face and said your an idiot. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING IN GAME EVER AGAIN!
what this game needs is a "CS ticket" emote - where you character gives everyone the finger ala "office space," Only earned after dealing with customer service.

@Odinar " I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING IN GAME EVER AGAIN."
I agree with you.

> All I can says is it kinda feels like I was cheated. Granted yes we got the keys for 100 and each but come on, it should have been staged it didn't increase rank. Not sure I woulda bought it still
Says in plain English it extends current VIP. Key word "current". Cannot blame the devs for ignorance.
