    Yo, before all this QQ get out of control...people are paying 10-20m for codes on Archo, for orbs that most will use on G15 gear or below...they are NOT getting "free" +10 orbs unless they were affected by the Archosaur rollback...otherwise...they either bought it, or a friend gave it to them (and who's to say friends can't give w/e they want to others?).

    I understand how ppl get angry if they miss out on free stuff, but imo don't you think the ARCHO players who had to suffer from the rollback can at least choose what they do with their prizes? It's 2 dragon orbs, not free R9rr +12.

    I wouldn't mind if they deleted all the orbs that people "bought" though.

    ok again...

    it CAN be used on r9!
    they DONT play on archo, they just have coins left there and use it to get advantage on other servers. or in other cases they just randomly logged to check tw map and stuff and still got them.

    1. the orbs work on G16 gear
    2. the fact that people can use it on servers that were not affected (aka people can go to archo server and buy codes for a cheap +10 orb) is rediculously stupid
    3. the entire fact that they are sending out multiple +10 orbs is stupid in general, as if everyone magically lost their refines.

    That being said, personally I don't care much about it, but the fact that this is probably one of the most absurd ways of dealing with anything is just... to be expected from PWE really.

    People are being reimbursted (though it seems it needs some spamming of tickets and being a tad aggressive in their tone in a ticket to get it done), so why is this compensation needed in the first place?

    We are seeing a lot of 10 star orbs being gotten by the same few people over and over on Dreamweaver too. Now I am sorry about the problems the rollback cause for the Archo server but I do not think that these orbs should be showing up on server not effected by said rollback. I have read from many posts that people are selling and scamming these codes and using them on unaffected servers, how could PWI be so stupid as not to make sure those codes could only be redeemed on the server that was effected! Srsly PWI, you really need to hire people with some brains and let the monkeys have a few days off!

    I think you should remove any orbs that people have redeemed on other server then Archo. Fix this or give everyone the code to even the playing field!

    when it is stuff that u have to buy with creditcard, or farm for a long time, should not be given for free for only a part of players. if they bought it for 10-20m doesn't matter. it's cheap like hell and nothing more than a scam.
    as soon a game offer items to buy than it is no longer *only* a game, it's a business.
    how many players of the whole game community on archo server lost realy stuff worth for 50$+?
    lol and again just lol

    Don't you have maxed out gear and a lot money? Why would it matter that others can refine a little bit more cheaply? b:question

    first off, this is not about my archers gear or my money. (and my armor is +10, not maxed)
    secondly, just because i farm more than others, doesnt meant i deserve less free stuff.
    thirdly, i have alts.

    and in my opinion, everyone should have the same chances and obstacles to get their gear done. making it super hard and expensive for one group and then giving the same stuff out for free to another group is kinda unbalanced. but was this game ever balanced? :P

    I think if you read the post about the rollback it reads, "the codes can be used on any server" ...why is this post here? I don't think complaining will help, but RT server experienced some major upset during this time also, where the heck is our compensation is what you all should be asking for realz!

    I still can't understand why people can use this code on others servers! It's ridiculous.

    You only lost something with the rollback if you farmed/played at Archosaur server, so why would you be able to use the code on any other place?

    And even so, they should only be able to use the code on the same account that is registered on the e-mail. Otherwise people with multiple accounts could (CAN b:angry ) get dozens of 10* on the same account for free, and that's completely insane.

    Even worse if you remember that, right now, GOLD is extremely expensive, and the last 10* sale was at August - true, we had a fake sale some weeks ago, but better not remember 10* for 50 GOLD b:shocked

    I know that some people lost a lot with the rollback and I know it's impossible be completely fair with everyone - some people lost more than others - so it's fair enough that people who play at Archosaur receive something for compensation...

    But 2 wrongs don't make 1 right. PWE made a mistake to fix another mistake b:surrender

    Well, my english is not very good, so I hope I have expressed my point b:bye

    PWE decided to make the code useable on all servers, so why in the world is this thread still open? Just so people can QQ about NOT getting a code? b:surrender

    No I didn't get the code but the QQ is really annoying.

    Yeh if they ment the code to be used on all servers then its no point to QQ, but if its to compensate players from Archo why i see so many ppl using in DW, quoting a friend from my guild "I dont get it".

    PWI Suggestion: Make a toon lv1 on all servers, next time you will receive something, trololololol.

    They only gave it to people that actually played, so that wouldn't work. I have a toon in Archosaur (a lvl 11 wiz) and didn't get anything.

    Seems there's ppl with several toons glitching it, or i miss read, to be honest i don't understand why a code to reward Archo players can be used like this on all servers, doesn't make sense to me.

    I do actually agree that this was poorly thought out. They are compensating for time lost on an Archosaur character; characters on other servers did not lose 4 days worth of anything. If people want compensation for time/items/etc lost they should get compensation on the character that lost said things. However, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to take the time to alter the redeem page so that it could only be used for one server, so I'm not surprised.

    I just find it sad when I see people complaining that they logged in once to do JJ or Roll Call and didn't get any orbs. I wouldn't have expected anything unless I lost a big sale/purchase/refine and ended up worse off than before the rollback like several people.

    No, it was actually 3 orb, they sent 2 e-mails, one containing all the goodies plus 1 orb, then they sent another mail with 2 extra codes, each for one orb.

    If those people that used the code on RT or any other server then Archo don't feel the need to use it on Archo why MAKE them use it there? It's a compensation code for Archo but if the people that got the code wanna use it on another server, let them, i mean wtf is wrong with people nowadays.... If the orbs were tradeable i could understand the QQ...but they aren't...
    And no i didn't get the code, and still i think its up to the person effected by the rollback how they use it b:bye

    Agreed, it's their code to do with as they like. And no, I don't have a char on Arch server that got a code. I had someone link their BOUND orb and I don't see it as a problem, for several reasons:

    a) the code is only good for +1 refine (up to +10)
    b) the orb is bound and can only be used on bound gear
    c) it can only be used on gear up to grade 15

    Get over yourselves! Find something better to do with your time.

    Those orbs probably have a typo and mean to say "G16 or less" instead of "less than G16". Small nuances like that are often lost in translation.

    They gave 3 Orbs per e-mail.

    b) the orb is bound and can only be used on bound gear
    The Orb is bound, but people are selling the codes, or using the multiple accounts and sending all the Orbs to the same account.

    c) it can only be used on gear up to grade 15
    No, it can be used on G16 gear. But it would be unfair even if it was used on G15 only, if you consider the amount of Orbs that some people with multiple accounts will receive.

    well niether ToS nor the GM's in our mail confirmed that the codes cudnt have been used on different server, nor was it said that 1 account can ONLY use 1 code or not more, and that NO1 should be able to sell those codes.

    All the time when we were down in sht with huge loses, yo dudes from different servers came down to us, saying how things were fair and stuff cause the tos says this and that, Well now, tos just doesnt say anything on this matter.

    So kudos trying to get our orbs away from us XD

    These efforts are not directed towards those who did not log into Archosaur during the rollback period.

    Also, the code can be redeemed for any character on any server, provided you meet the above criteria.

    I don't see the problem (no I didn't get a code, I don't have a Archo toon anymore xD)
