Final Compensation - For All (12.12.13 UPDATED)

Nudimmud - Lost City

So, because I wasn't online at the time this happened and was unable to abuse the code, about half of the top people on my server can now face-roll me without a moments notice, oh and they have a mountain of event gold to buy more charms with.

Thanks PWI, you will not be seeing me again.

You will get >NOTHING< You missed the boat and now PWI is flipping you off like they always do. PWE is like obamacare, a big **** up and unable to do anything in a proper way.

Considering this was originally planned to be Archosaur based compensation, if you were not on during the original time ON ARCHOSAUR SERVER, you will not be compensated. The answer as to why is simple.... why would you get something for nothing?

Don't like it? Either shut the heck up, or move on.

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. 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.

I do understand your reasons and political decisions.
I dont see how you will punish thos people.
a 1 day or a 7 day ban wont fix anything.
a 1 year ban may does.
but i am pretty sure that the people who paid the most in the game are pretty high on the abuser list. so 1 year ban will hurt yourself more than them.
for my part i dont see that it is going to be better anyhow soon.
you didnt mention anything about compensation for people who got nothing.
you didnt said anything about the kind of punishment.
and i dont see a fix at all about this damage.
you had the same trouble with the dreamchaser code in the past already and still wasnt able to fix it.
you really should rethink how you spend your money on your employees.

for me the game reached a broken point i almost cant accept it anymore.
i will play less and wait for the update.
and then i may stop playing after the update destroyed more.

History repeats itself.
No one was set back in lvl after the goon glitch.

I will be really shocked if they actually start banning ppl this time.

FirstJustice - Lost City

I didnt take anything, specifically because i didnt want to abuse the glitch under any circumstance, so being a nice and honest person, gets rewarded with a biitchslap?

Well, many friends of mine are gonna quit right now. Thank you very much.

So no roll back? Enough is enough. After this I'm quitting, and most of my in game friends too. I spent real money a lot of time playing this game and after all this ppl who abuse and who got by "mistake" will just keep those itens. And we're supposed to move on and pretend it didn't happened?.. doesn't seem fair at all.

^this

they are threating this issue, like "lol we derped again", allright lets ban some ones

Well if your talking about fairness, technically it wont be fair to excessively punish someone who were given something and used it in an unintended way unless they forcefully changed something to **** it. <_> ijs fair is fair but it goes both ways.

i want my orbs just like any1 else who got them!
Expire date is november 24th, so make the ****ing code-page work as is should be

Alex_Gantz - Dreamweaver

Lets make a stand here, the no re-roll thing is a slap in the face to all of us who had worked hard in our gear, we can t let this happen, we all know that if anyone gets a punish it will be what? 1 week bann? lol for +10 all my gear gimme that 1 week bann in exchange. We deserve respect a rollback was the only fair solution to this and we msut stand against this. Any ideas of how we can make PW feel that we really want a solution to this is welcome on this post.

I would tell this my boss too...

If you want to punish the cheaters properly:

* Let all their gear which they refined last 24 hours reset to 0.

* Remove all their event gold.

* Remove all items which they bought last 24h with event gold.

* Remove all their coins which the got last 24h. Don't forget to track where they try to hide their coins/10m notes (on other accounts, accounts of friends and so on).

* Start to bann them now! Every day they can stilll log in they can abuse their advantage.


Then did already benefit a lot:

* They got a lot of HP charms which they can use for pve farming or in pvp (NW and TW).

* You can sell refining service by buying a lot of tishas and tienkangs with all the event gold you got!! Or refine the gear of your alts on other accounts!

* They can farm as hell at the moment: it's 2x drop and they have at least full +10 gear and weapon. They can e.g. farm the mirages packs in Twillight Tempel which will get removed after release of next expansion.

* If you JUST JOIN a battle in nation wars (and DO NOTHING ELSE!!) you get a way higher reward than everyone else with lower refines. Just because you are there (it's the soulforce that mainly matters, not your skills, kills or strategy).

* They have high advcance in TW. Even lower geared factions are active atm because of recent map reset. Full +10/11 matters!

* and so on.

Better be fast.

Beleni - Dreamweaver

So, after you had your meeting about this and came up with this soloution. You have forgotten about the players who have not redeem the code.

Should probabaly go ahead and flip that Redeem code back on.

all in all

Im not angry with you, just disappointed.

So, that being said, there won't be a rollback? f:confused

Arent you suppose to get banned for breaking the rules regarding TW? Fake bidding and using an alt faction to make bids. I think you should not get your gold back but get a permaban instead.

Didn't say what punishmente would be either. Probably they'll just wait long enough, until everyone forget about it and do nothing. Like always.
