getting 50+ orbs by pwi mistake or getting 50+ orbs by abusing the code for me its same thing f:fume
even if u got loads of orbs by pwi mistake ...OF COURSE every1 would use them anyways
they could of roll back 1 day...just to get the damn orbs away
and knowing pwi NO1 will be banned
every1 will say they refresh page only because page didn't load/Congrats title didn't appear/ And other reason which r blamed on pwi redeem page
So those who didnt got orbs(100 EVENT GOLD,CHAMRS....) and those who WORK SO HARD to get that refine now can suck on stupid 5 hyper stones...TY PWI..for ...nothing f:poo
every1 is still soooo mad about this...but who wouldn't be? unless u r the person who got the orbs/event gold and everything elseI clicked on redemption page cuz it was not loading, went in game, got no mail, still click on redemption page again, went to check mail, got nothing so I tried one more time.
Ended up getting 46+ orbs and a bunch of other stuff.
Did not mean to get so much I will send in a ticket stating what I did and it's unfair if I get punished because none of it was intentional. Should not get banned be cause it was ur page that glitch out not my fault.
this is why no1 will get banned...they all will blame page0 -
f:sleepYou mad? f:grin0

But, it is your fault if you opened all the mail and used them knowing you were supposed to get three orbs. Can't you just delete all the extra ones? Honesty for honesty sake? I tried several times also because I didn't get any. I am not mad that I didn't get them, but if they would have filled my mailbox, I would have utilized the delete button

damn u PWI. ur company is really bad.0 -
While I am very satisfied that DefenderofDreams has actively answered question on the forums as he has, there are still at least two questions that remained unanswered.
1) What is time frame we can expect the bans mentioned for the code abusers, or will that not be released at all?
2) If a person that gets banned, but only receives a temporary ban due to not abusing the code too bad, will that person have their refines they got by abusing the code removed?
I for one would like to hear that the answer to question 2 is a yes, that the abusers will have their orb refines removed or even reduced to 0 as punishment for the code abuse. While some may say this is a bit extreme I would counter by asking, what is the point of only temporarily banning a person that got extra orbs by abusing the system just to allow them back into the game to use the gear they unfairly refined? In the end I know that PWE will do what they want to do but these two question in particular are still important to many people. I personally know a few people who have already quit PWI completely due to how upset they were there was no Roll back. I don't want to see more people leave due to them thinking PWE isn't going to do what they said they will do, so having a time frame known to us of WHEN the people that abused the code will be banned will put some people at ease.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Ty pwi this is what I needed after getting all +11 from code...150G for +12 orb is too much tho...
Can you pls mail me a couple free +12 orbs just asking b:laugh.0 -

Response to a thread in which involves the compensation situation:
_________________________________________
UPDATE (11.25.13)
Questions and Answers
What is the punishment for players who blatantly abused the compensation code?
They will be banned.
I heard from Customer Service tickets that you are only banning players who are from Archosaur. Is this true?
No, I was confused about this when I heard about it. The customer service representatives were mis-informed on the punishment issue, and we're making sure everyone is now on the same page. We're banning players who abused the code no matter the server they are from.
What about the "targeted" compensation efforts for Archosaur only? Is that still happening?
Yes. We are getting everything set up now and verifying that it will go smoothly before we start sending in-game items to players on Archosaur. You can expect yours within the week.
Why is it Archosaur only now, and not all servers, as it was initially, when I missed my chance at the code?
First and foremost, Archosaur players were the ones we've wanted to make sure were compensated for the rollback, to the best of our ability. It was because of the rollback that we started focusing on a compensation campaign. We have 5x EXP going on for Archosaur, something we've never done before, as well as 2x EXP/SP/Drops AND Coin for all servers (also new).
Players on Archosaur now have the opportunity to gain more experience, spirit, drops, etc than they could have during the 3 days lost from the rollback, as these modifiers will be lasting into the next month. All servers were included in this decision because we wanted everyone to feel compensated for November's server connectivity issues as a whole.
(The initial compensation code for 5x HyperEXP Stones is now available for everyone: 3HTYJKE)
Following these initial actions, we still thought that for a rollback, our actions were not great enough. Many players lost refinement and thus power during the rollback, and so giving more exp/sp/drops/coins if you play wouldn't resolve their complaint.
Thus we came up with the compensation code that we all now are aware of.
Unfortunately, because of it's abuse we've had to cancel the cross-server compensation and refocus back on the initial goal of compensating Archosaur Rollback players.
Is there anything I can receive right now?
We've re-activated the initial compensation code that gives out 5x Hyper EXP Stones to players. It can be used once per account until NOVEMBER 30th
You can redeem it here once per account until NOVEMBER 30th : 3HTYJKE
There is no shouting with this one...

Mod edit because it appears people refuse to scroll down enough to read:
UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.
^This is the reason why the code is saying it has expired when you try to enter it!
Hello Perfect World citizens!
We've finalized our compensation efforts for the past month of various issues that have affected many of you this holiday season.
-Redeem the following code to any character on any server for a collection of goodies including bound dragon orbs! The code is redeemable once per account.
6JMMAAB
Code ends on Sunday, November 24th @ 11:59 PM PST
We thank all of you who have stayed with us during these turbulent times, and please continue being awesome!
-PW Team
UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.
UPDATE (11.22.13):
Here is what I was able to get:
- We will not be rolling back the servers.
- A highly focused and targeted Archosaur-specific compensation effort will be enacted.
- We will be punishing legitimate abusers of the compensation code who received far more than is possible from redemption page lag. We will be doing so in a detailed, focused manner which will make progress on punishments slower but more precise. So do not worry if you are one who got more orbs unintentionally. We do not want to penalize those who did not intend abuse of the system.
Regarding the level of abuse, from the data in front of us, it was not quite as widespread as many believe. It was mostly a few dozen or so who abused the code from means other than lag/timeouts. The perception of it being widespread is due to the unintentional in-game message spam distorting the situation, and nonfactual boasts in the forums or world chat.
This is the reason why there will not be a rollback.
I have 2 accounts. I was not able to use any code at all on either. When will I get the dragon orbs, event card, charms, etc.???0 -

If you read his most recent update he CLEARLY stated at this time they have things in plans for December but can not tell us exactly what. You just need to be patient for that.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

DefenderofDreams ~ Please pass my thanks to the {PWi} event staff members who have finally been able to have sent me my 3-'10 star' Dragon orbs to my server characters on Archo server (I was seriously beginning to feel like I'd never receive them and was quite relieved to find them finally put into 1 of my characters mailboxes>b:victory)
> Even though I still have not been able to receive any of the rest of it yet, I'd like to thank you for you guys atleast being able to finally be able to pull through on atleast that part of it so far > Though if possible, please try and see to it that some day soon I can still hope to eventually get the rest of the stuff aswell, with the 'event gold, charms & etc.', once this nasty little mess of a situation has finally been able to have been cleared up enough for you guys to be able to finish up on handing out the rest of the stuff we were all hoping on receiving....b:thanks0 -
I play on Heaven's Tear and quite a few people got those free +10 orbs. So I have few questionsDefenderofDreams wrote: »Will the people that has gotten nothing from this code be given any sort of compensations for having nothing whilst some got the right amount or even more?
or will they be given nothing in compensation and just have to bite the sour apple?
At this time, we have some things lined up for December which we are taking another look at how to adjust concerning the recent events. Will we be reopening the code again? I do not know as that has never been up to me, but I can say December will not be a boring. I will be updating the main compensation thread when I have details. I'm expecting new info next week following the holiday weekend.
- Will those people see their +10 orbs/refines taken away?
- If not, what's with other players who got nothing on HT server?
- If you ever do a compensation for this compensation will those players who already got free +10 orbs be able to get that new compensation too?0 -

I would just like to remind you that if a compensation in December is given to everyone then it will be meaningless again. What we have been asking for is the same level of compensation given to only the players that received nothing.
If another compensation is given to all players and not targeting those who got nothing last time then the meaning is completely lost and the PWI Team is yet again insulting the players who got left out.
Please keep this in mind at all times when releasing the next compensation.0 -

Doubt they'd actually go through the trouble to pick each and everyone who missed getting the orbs...it's easier for them to just release a working code and give it to everyone.
I'm sure they won't give us 10* orbs again but I don't mind if its just charms/event gold.0 -
They already have that info, with people who received the gift, so it's something pretty easy, one simple excel file that's going to be used by the server mailing system as exception for the accounts receiving the e-mail with the gifts. very simple and easy, if they would want to do it lol. But since they don't... they thing loook people got pi**ed off they didn't get anything, let's try to make some money, put the orbs on sale.... i highly doubt it...Suprprutty - Lost City wrote: »Doubt they'd actually go through the trouble to pick each and everyone who missed getting the orbs...it's easier for them to just release a working code and give it to everyone.

This is proof that the initial statement PWI made that "it was not a widespread abuse", and that "Abusers will be punished" are completely FALSE. It's obvious that the sale is targeted to them.....
