Double AD weekend Issue!

In regards to the... difficulties... of being one of the people NOT getting further AD bonuses.
1. This completely ruins my desire to play a game that can be so one sided with literally, and I mean literally, no customer support.
2. An in game currency, such as Astral Diamonds, that are so important to obtain, especially in a free to play environment, needs to be regulated and maintained correctly and in a fair manner for everyone who plays the game, both paying and non-paying players alike. This is not the case and frankly, I'd like to hear some official news on changes to this and definitely some ideas on compensation for those affected by this.
3. Bugs happen, and I think we all understand that. What is so frustrating, is the lack of care to not only handle these situations, but to right what has been wronged. If I had continued to play this game completely free of charge, I wouldn't be quite as frustrated. But, when I am willing to invest my money into this game and into your company, which is NOT required, I feel I should be treated fairly with everyone else. This is not the case...
I am not the only one dealing with this and it is not fair to see those abusing the bug getting massive quantities of the hard to obtain currency. I would like to see something done about this, soon, or a loyal customer will be lost.
Gotta pay the overhead, and when you lose customers, you can't quite do that very well.

In any event, it only doubles rough AD, which you can't get "massive" quantities of anyway. Dailies, Invocation, and Leadership don't produce that much even when doubled. And even then, you've got the 24K daily cap to make it useful. I've gotten far more AD in the last few days from selling stuff on the AH than I have from refining AD.
It makes a huge difference to those who don't play the AH.
This is a massive bug, but typical of what we can expect from this game (incompetence all round).
You're one of the people NOT getting the bugged bonus time, and frankly, you're at a major disadvantage.
Where is it said that the event's been extended?
Both true but
Never going to happen. I would be surprised if the exploiters who made 1000 times as much as this are banned, so Cryptic are hardly going to bother about something like this.....
Moradin's balls! Let it go already!!!!
Well, that explains why one of my friends got 2000 AD from a skirmish chest while everyone else got 1000.
Heck I intend to spend more money! I'm totally enjoying myself.
If they are paying any kind of attention they have to know about it by now. I made a post in the moonstone mask section asking if it was a bug or some hidden buff on Monday. Tuesday I saw a post by someone else with the same issue. Responded there and made an in game bug report. Early this morning saw yet another person making a post about it and replied there as well. Now there are tons of posts about it.
I didnt saw any post but i usually only check general and cleric forums, i tryed to report ingame, but its not working, so i send an email. Im not really sure if they check forums at all :S.
And they check the Forum, well the community mods and admins do. Than they relay the information to the Dev's.
I'm... not trying to be snarky here, even though it's going to come off that way. They're not going to compensate the vast majority of the player base every time there's a bug, glitch, or exploit that benefits some people, and that's especially true of ones like this that only generate a few thousand AD. It's just not going to happen. If that's something that really, really bugs you, you should not play any MMO within the first month (at least) of release.
If your enjoyment of a game depends on whether or not other players "deserve" what they have, then online games in general may not be for you - but this is especially true when a game is new and at its most exploitable. Take a couple days off, chill out a bit. It happens. If this is the worst thing to happen to you all week, you've had a pretty good week.
That said, the problem is still in place. It does need to be fixed. And an update from a dev or community manager would really go a long way towards unruffling some feathers.
