    "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"

    what do the peeps who NEVER got a chance to get reward get? Vaseline in the inbox? Kiss on the cheek? I do like to be kissed before I get screwed! and now that you are doing away with the DQ system rewards and the school teacher when at the end of Nov. I have less than a week to go before I can acquire mount (kiss that buh-bye after over a year of logging).....is the game now run by the federal gov't now because you ARE rewarding bad behavior .....and ANYONE who blatantly abused this is a straight up PARASITE! hope you get a big kiss from KARMA!

    I take my comment back.


    I ONLY got the initial 3 orbs, and ONLY on my main acct. I've deemed those to be saved for the day when I eventually become R9RR. They will sit there in my bank until that day.

    Right now, I'm +2 R8R and G16 on my main, with that Epic Warsoul Weapon.

    Punish the ones that got 20-30 packs and lets get on with it. Many people got invalid code message so tried multiple times I don't think they should get punished. Something for the ones that didn't get a chance to get anything would be nice too. Thanks PWI.b:victory

    Hello Perfect World citizens!

    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.

    You know what, I don't believe you. This is a repeat of those chests, some people got 1 others got 100's. Nothing was done about that either. Screwed the mirages up big time.

    So are you gonna perma ban them or just a rap across the knuckles and go sit in the corner like a bad toon. Will you remove all the extra orbs and stuff they received and the money they got from the sale of all the unwanted items they got. Will you remove all the +12 they did on their armor? What about the rest of us who didnt even get a chance to get 1 pack because the system crashed. facebook said it was a happy holiday gift but now its compensation for Archosaur rollback!


    Am I angry? You betcha. Just another reason NOT to play PWI

    I realize this post will very likely get lost in the sea of anger. (reasonable anger I might add)

    Still this post is towards pwi.

    I implore you all at pwi inc to NOT let this become like the goon glitch fiasco because if you do (I am not trying to threaten you here, and you likely know this already) but still if you do... there WILL be hell to pay. As I said then those who abused the glitch are all just at as much fault as pwi was... then and even now. Granted that your all's lack of punishment that has been quite.... laughable to say the least/even gave way to some of the willingness to abuse things that you all have put out... it is still their lack of scruples that allowed them to abuse the glitch even after you all telling us not to abuse it, and report those you see doing it. (this last line was meant more towards what happened with the goon glitch)

    Now I am not going to threaten you with "I'll leave if you don't do anything about it" and again I do agree with you all that it isnt as bad as it looks as not many people got to abuse it, ergo I feel it is easier for you all to stick to your guns this time around so to speak... but if you all do not... well as I said before their will be hell to pay. As that old saying goes "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" so yea if you do not do as you promised and make sure the abuse is handled in a rather decent way, you all may very well have pandemonium on your hands to deal with, and it very likely wont be you all dealing with it, it will likely be the hard working forums mods who have gotten quite a extraordinary amount of grief for defending you all/just trying to keep the forums in order as MUCH as possible. To be completely honest with you I fear that even the forum mods will take a step back and just let the chaos reign over the forums, even worse than now. (I am not saying they aren't doing their job... it's actually quite to the contrary... they are definitely doing the best that they can)... but still if you do go back on your all's word to dish out punishment, there will be pandemonium on these here forums... of the likes we have never seen before.

    EDIT: Let me put it another way.

    We all very rarely get a second chance in life, to 'fix' a mistake that we made in the past, I feel this is your all's second chance, so please do not "****" it up as much as you all did with the goon glitch. :$


    ---

    Also if you all are indeed reading this, please if you can indeed get the code fixed, and keep people from abusing it, please do reactivate it for those who were unable to get the 'goodies' from this whole debacle. (I am sure this is actually your all's plan, but still if you all aren't planning on it, please do reconsider.)

    *goes back to waiting patiently to see if my giving pwi the Benefit of the doubt was justified or not* but again if it wasn't ill be joining in on the hateful angry posts about your all's lack of punishing/doing the right thing.
    Ah, Mistakes are so easily made. ~ laura resnick

    I can't believe it...... GMs found a solution and made a decission, i think the way they wanna go is just fair (and yes, I say that even if I'm also one of those who redeemed the code more as one time), but peeps still complaining and QQ... Why not just leave if you dislike it? The decission is already made, you can't do anything against this! It's so senseless to disciusse more here!

    They have made a decision, not found a solution. Which is probably why this thread is still alive. The fairness aspect is arguable though and by their track record, it's very likely they're not actually going to "punish" the people who abused it.

    What most are worried about is the impending imbalance to the game. Before we know it the standard to getting into most squads will be +10. Turn the corner and it's +12. NW and TW this weekend are going to be a fun experience. As I walk around Archosaur on my server, I count 75 players that are full +10. Many names I recognise from what can only be described as REDCHATMAGEDDON2013! yeah, I named it. It was bad enough to be named..... oh come on. Don't give me that face. You chuckled a little. Come on now, you know you did!

    Hello Perfect World citizens!

    We've finalized our compensation efforts for the past month of various issues that have affected many of you this holiday season.

    -Redeem the following code to any character on any server for a collection of goodies including bound dragon orbs! The code is redeemable once per account.

    6JMMAAB

    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!

    -PW Team

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

    Is that poll that is on this thread legit from PWI? If it is, it says that it is open until 12/2...wouldnt that make it so much worse to wait that long if you did decide to rollback?

    Trolling aside, biggest mistake PWE can do is listen to the whiny kids who only know how to whine. While punishing abuse is needed, starting to permaban people is ridiculous. The lack of punishment is the reason why people abuse things as otherwise they are left behind. Going from lack of punishments to permabans isnt reasonable, increase them step by step and you`ll see the willingness to abuse glitches decline in playerbase. All in all PWE can look at the mirror over guilt tripping players, your lack of management caused this.

    Ps. Wants info on archo compensation V5.10 or smth.
