this one gave me eye cancer b:shocked0 -
I just want 1 of the code to many alts dragging the system down with the code give some of us a shot at the code.0

most of these posts want a rollback. I think thats probably the least worst option.
PWI should either eliminate all the items they added as compensation for the accidental rollback except the ones they gave in the initial codes via email to the people actually logged in on the archosaur server OR
they should roll back all the servers equally and as compensation for our troubles this week i suggest that they can give us all $10 worth of zen to spend on whatever of their games we chose to spend it on, and make this apply to all accounts whether or not they happened to be here during this week.
I hope they take the time to think this over and don't rush to fix it but take the time to make a sensible fix that cannot be exploited by abusers.0 -

same here
does anypony know when this is getting fixed? With the living avatars of friendship by your side and the orbital friendship cannon at your back, look the wraiths in there soulless eyes and ask them. "will you accept my friendship undead scum?"

Personally i think the developers came from Obamacare which means give them two years, and after 100 other probs they will get this one fixed.
For example some of us dont even have avatar pics for the forums, which they said they fixed ages ago0 -

The problem with hunting down said abusers, is that you won't be able to tell those that actually purposely abused versus those that just did what the site told them to do. I've got guildies who were doing as the site directed and ended up with 3 sets of orbs. Should they be banned for doing something they had no clue they'd actually get items for? That seems a bit unfair for those that were only re-doing the redeem since the site said wait 10 minutes and didn't ever tell them the code was used...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Actually, I only got one from the original code sent out, and never received a code for my other two orbs. Still would rather just pick up the pieces and move on rather than have another rollback, that's just another huge pain in the ***, especially as this goes on longer.0 -
A rollback will just compound the error, and people will be screwed again from the first one. Ya, it sucks if you weren't able to take advantage of the code and really what did people expect with a reusable code I mean come on now. As far as losing money....if people are going to spend money on one thing they will probably spend it on something else. I got a whole bunch of fashion from the event gold and I'll probably splurge on dye >< Dont judge me I want ballet dresses in all the colours of the rainbow :P Besides now people need to buy +11 and +12 orbs to be even more OP lol PLUS gems/ DOD's etc for their gear.
If you were effected by the rollback and weren't able to use the code, I do really hope you get compensated. Really what was the worst part of the rollback wasn't so much the lost items/etc but the time spent working on ones toon which honestly Dragon Orbs don't really make up for. (Though all the fashion from event gold sorta did :P )0 -
wow i just got home from work. and hear about this pack we are getting. just to find out we cant get it.f:cryf:cryf:cryf:cry0

Don't roll back again due to a few stupid people. b:sad
We're tired of letting bygones be bygones..it's time for pwi to step up to the plate and do something about this! We all know they won't tho!0 -
Slivaf - Dreamweaver wrote: »Personally I feel that the abusers are at just as much fault as pwe/pwi... sure pwi/pwe basically just asks for things like this to happen when they don't enforce their rules, and make examples out of people, but still even if we know we can just get away with it... it is still our lack of scruples that allows some of us to abuse something everytime something new comes out. Not to mention it is true that their faulty codes or w/e allowed for this to happen. (Though it can be ridicolously hard to account for everything that might go wrong) Still I believe that the gaming community as well as pwi/pwe are at fault.
(Again I didn't abuse it, but I did get the first set)... So sad that it was abused.
if 99% of players were scrupled and refused to take advantage (not exploit) of shoddy work...
we would still have goons glitch and every other glitch... simply because it was not being done enough to elicit a response or draw a flag. shamelessly taking advantage brings an issue to the forefront. if the dreamchasers were not being used by so many (like if the small group who figured it out just shut up) then nobody would really have known it was being taken advantage of.
why make a restriction you can't enforce? they knew because of the dreamchaser fiasco that redemption codes were not being coded properly, yet they failed to test this code to make sure it wouldn't happen again. if it was not so clearly and fully abused then nothing would have happened and a few new +12 r999 ppl would pop up overnight and nobody would be the wiser.
either stop playing the game so much, to show them you won't consume a shoddy product...
or suck it up and plan for a rollback, because your continued support ensure that they won't need to do better. all they need to do is rollback and do x5 exp/drop/spirit until new years... so more people can be 105 in order to migrate more players to those new zones and using reincarnation....
notice how glitches seem to perfectly align to future content ......0 -
I paid for mine and don't really care if people get for free will be new gear with expansion and wont transfer so all new then anyway . Yes was a problem some got many some got none but as with the sfc some dint get some did and game went on same way with the MOG glitch that so many used to get r9 and so on and so on.
Was a nice jester and helped some but what I'm seeing is most complaining are ones that were OP and some that though they were. Get over it and continue playing in reality I see same people gank pvp at west and silver as before nothing has changed.
Many quit when rank gear came many on archo server quit with roll back, if want quit go head it was more then just this anyway.
Boo hoo ya spent a fortune and now others can compete against you.
Is a damn game quit taking it so serious and have fun.
Thank you pwi for at least trying ,0 -

but the problem is uber-abusers now have their gear upgraded with up to 20 10* orbs.. how are the rest of us on the server who have worked hard on our gears for years going to deal with that.
The only solution is a rollback or pwi going back and deleting ALL the orbs except those awarded to the people on the archosaur server.0 -

Lets just point out the math people have been doing bout PWEs losses is **** exactly for the same reason as lawsuits against piracy tend to be, regarding the compensation part. Every single item is considered as its full worth as if people would of paid for them had they not gotten it for free. Yes, PWE lost money but they lost far more with giving out the code to everybody than with people abusing it to death.
As for rollback, I rather not have it. Only marginal portion of playerbase abused it, minority of those abused it to the point of 20+ orbs. Rolling back will only cause major issues again and its only gonna annoy everybody. And honestly, only real problem that was caused with the abuse is people who went to +11, +10 really isnt all that terrifying.__Sami__ - Archer - 105/104/102 - mypers.pw/1.8/#135691 - Active

There is no need for a rollback, you all forget we had this same problem last year if im not mistaken, with maiden kissed chests. PWI banned those who exploited the glitch for week and took all the items away. So good chance thats what they will do this time.0

Just going to point out that PWI gave away 75 gold worth of oceans to each of us. That's $75 worth of free stuff. Not to mention the Charms, Event gold and Apo. And half the server abused it. In a way, it amounts to theft. PWI literally cannot win. They just tried to give all their players that much free stuff (what gave have you ever heard give away $75 worth, Riot had massive server issues and gave its players $4 worth of RP, and an IP boost), and they still are getting lambasted by the players. As an entire player base, we're an ungrateful and undeserving lot.0

Don't throw accusations around without having the facts. For all you know "they" may have been redeeming codes after checking their email for the first time in a while i.e. using yesterday's codes... in addition to using TODAY's code.
Just because you see a particular name more than 3 times, does not necessarily mean they're abusing the system.As soon as you're born you start dying... so you might as well have a good time. b:victory0 -
wtf ppl spam getting 10* on sanctuary like hundreds of them.........0
