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.

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

I LOST 1000 ONE THOUSAND OF GOLD I CASHED IN, GETTING DRAGON ORBS AS INVESTMENT AND NOW I CANT SELL THEM ANYMORE TO TARGET PRICE

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.

And OP never said anywhere that these abusers would keep their items. Don't jump into conclusions blindly.

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.
