Final Compensation - For All (12.12.13 UPDATED)
Comments
-
How long do you keep the entire game in limbo while you consider what you will do. Please consider that peopel have quit farming for fear if there is a roll back they will lose what they have farmed. They have quit refining gear for fear the will lose refines. They have quit leveling for fear they will revert to previous levels. Please GM's do something to aliviate the fears people have an fix situation post haste.0

Probably a 3 day ban like the goon glitch, where as .ini before they made it legal was like....a perm-ban.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

so the people who got nothing get screwed over great job pwi0

so they will get banned for 1-2-4 weeks and saved 1-2000 dolars ...and then they will come back ...
desperate time requires deperate measures ...and dramatic also

- We will not be rolling back the servers.

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 than intended 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 worldchat.
This is the reason why there will not be a rollback.
What about those on non-arch servers that didn't get to use the "everyone" code at all? "Accidental" abusers get 20 orbs, honest users got 3, arch server players get yet ANOTHER reward, and the rest of us get nothing?
You've got to be kidding. 70% of the players want a rollback. You decide against that. Of course. Fine. But this is the best alternative you can come up with?
You need to hire me to run the damn thing, because clearly no one there can make a legit decision to save their lives (or more likely, their livelihood).
What a bunch of0 -
So after the punishment...let me guess, they get to keep the free stuff?0

All the people that did this need to be removed from the server unless u can un refine their gear back to what it was before their code abuse they dont deserve to be allowed to play anymore and ruin the game for others.
As from which it's very clear: PWI REALLY listens to what their players want ... Just look at the number of % of players asking for a roll-back, even the ones that DID get orbs ....
Thank you PWI .. You really know how to keep your customers happy0 -
What about people who haven't used it at all? Don't you think it's unfair and VERY biased?
So as of now, the chain of advantage is:
1) Abusers (Most advantage, 'eventually' they will get some bull**** punishment)
2) Accidental-Abusers (Good luck mind reading them, as bad as Absuers)
3) Non Abusers (Ones who were lucky enough to be able to use the code before it expired)
4) Others (Didn't abuse, honest players, didn't get anything at all)
This is the most pathetic and unprofessional issue resolution I have ever seen.0 -
I propose that the abusers should be captured, striped down in the local square market and taken down with rocks so they wont return with +12 gears.b:thanks0

very smart PWI
u will ban 70% of pwi for 2-3 days and let them be refined +10/+11 and even some +12

YES..it all went wrong and an uneven distribution... so whats for them who didnt even got a 10*????????? b:angryb:angryb:angry0

That's exactly what you said about the goon glitch abusers.DefenderofDreams wrote: »- We will be punishing legitimate abusers of the compensation code who received far more than is possible from redemption page lag.

Now waiting for next message saying you could not identify the abusers and are giving up on punishing them.
And what about those who never got any orbs?

Probably the best middle of the road solution they could of came up with. Abusers get punished (hopefully), Unfornuatley those that where not awake or present for the code get left out in the cold. I guess PWI is going by the risk/ reward managment style. Not worth the risk doing another code give away to multi servers. Sorry for those that got left out in the cold.0
-
So legit players who followed the rules get NOTHING again just like after the goon glitch?
Or are you going to make the code work?
I am out of here...seriously...and I shall tell all my gaming friends to avoid your games. Absolutely amazing level of fail.0 -
some honest users got 3-10 orbs cause of the lag ;o ijs and thats just 1 single click tooMinrothad_ii - Sanctuary wrote: »What about those on non-arch servers that didn't get to use the "everyone" code at all?

This is unacceptable. Given the fact that the "glitch" was simply abusing server lag, mostly via handheld devices such as smartphones and ipads, an "accident" and an abuse will be identical.
No one need be PUNISHED. What needs to be done is have the orbs REMOVED and the refines REMOVED whether the "abuse" was INTENTIONAL OR NOT.
You are essentially saying that a portion of folks who got 30-50+ orbs will get to keep them, while another portion will suffer unspecified punishment. The rest of us, who only got 3, or 0 orbs, will be out of luck.
This. Is. Unacceptable.0 -
so disappointed in how this was handled and solved

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!

UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.
UPDATE:
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.

The first code u guys sended by email just gived me 1 orb, i sended a ticket and the response was a massive code, redeem page was colapsed so i couldnt pget the reward, now the code expired.
Result: u rolled back the server, as compensation i got just 1 orb.
Will u fix that too?
And as this case, im working on my wifes account, she never got any kind of code for mail.
im very disapointed... i couldnt make my reward and some ppl have like 20-30 orbs atm.0 -
You did not mention if those of us who were not able to get on the web page to redeem code. What about us? Are you going to send us a code via e-mail? b:surrender0

a. Whoever didn't get any Ocean Orbs won't get jack.
b. Due to the fact that you failed to make the code one-time redeemable, whoever clicked it twice gets "punished". Nice going.
Downloading gee doubleyew two, cya.
That's not what he said. lol. They don't mean to punish anyone that clicked twice by accident.. they'll be going after the people that clicked it multiple times in a row, deliberately abusing the glitch.0 -
I call bull. I was able to log on for only a few hours, and there were more then a few dozen on dreamweaver alone. Meanwhile they disabled the code as I logged on, so I got nothing. I would of least liked to be able to redeem one code.0
