Can we have an official thread about it where people will ask legitimate questions and GMs will make it a point to answer, then just edit the main post to include the questions that have been answered?

Because my main gripe really is how did the dev team ensure the server's integrity

It was said that X amount of coins was removed - how was this done and how are you certain that you removed ALL the ill-gotten money/wealth/items? Because even some of my friends who have already bought stuff from their tons of coins got to keep those items. That is NOT fair.

    I do have a personal question too for the GMs or mods even, but more sidetracked

    How do you feel about the players that actually gained 800-1000M today? If they are not the ones who originally exploited the bug, then in a way, they used the economy VERY well to gain it through the auction. In technical terms, they gained the coins fair in the game. In logical terms...800-1000M coin profit using the economy at a bugged crisis? Its a questionable matter. It would be nice to have GMs opinion on this.

    If they are smart and should be rewarded, what can you say to those nice players who didnt try to benefit from this bug as they fear of getting ban and expect a rollback? are they at fault not to exploit the game and should watch those who did spend the money?

    They did not, they removed the most obvious ones, but there is still tons of dirty money floating around on the servers.

    I too have a few questions.
    First, why did the Valentine patch suck?
    Second, why did your emergency fix suck?
    and Lastly, why is the Valentine event such a suck?

    Okay, I feel like being immature today.
