    GMs did **** up that's why they did this "nice thing" for us to begin with! They know they **** up and have been **** up for the last month or so. First big one was the all day server maint. for East Coast servers. 15-16 hours we couldn't get on. Did they give us anything then? Nope, not even a sorry. BUT then they had to rollback the Archo server, again a big **** up by GMs, only this time they attempted to make it right and **** that up too! Nice of them to give the guys on Archo Server stuff to help compensate for their foul up but they had to let them use that stuff on other server that didn't have a rollback, people got pissed and rightly so! Should of let them only redeem on the server that was effected, stupid move to let them use on any server. People sold the codes and scammed them from some players...yeah dumb move. Way to **** that up GMs!
    Then this "nice thing" they did with the orbs. Well that was to make up for people getting orbs on server that shouldn't have gotten any to begin with! Did they think this gift through? Did they test to see if they code could only be redeemed once? Nope! So people got the message they could use the code again in 10 minutes, so they did. Normal behavior for most people. It prompted them after all to use it again, so they did. And the punsline is this happened before so the KNEW it could and would happen again! So their you go another **** up!
    So now they turned off the code and are not let those that didn't get orbs get any, which is another **** up if you ask me. If you're not going to let them have orbs at least say so! Or if you are then say that and that they have to wait. Not saying anything that is ANOTHER **** up.

    Rant finished. b:chuckle

    Getting orbs on other account doesn't make any one particular character OP. You can only use them on bound gear anyway. Getting 3 orbs on each account isn't that OP, getting like 30 orbs on 1 account is pretty BS.

    The code has expired because:
    UPDATE:
    We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.

    As in it was abused so they took it down to prevent further abuse and deal with those who abused it.

    And no, they wouldn't bring out a new one right now as that would lead to the exact same thing at this point in time.

    code was prompting people to use it
    i dont know about all that what i do know is that i did get an error report the first time i tried to input the code so i did it again again same result i was then kicked off the page due to slow resopsn from upstream server
    so i decide that it was prolly for all the people legitimately trying to use the code I was like ok ill just wait no biggie well i decided to log on to my char and play him a bit



    guess what i found duplicates of the gift in my mail box
    is that abuse i dont think so

    so as far as people getting prompted to use it again i say bs but i could see having two as ok it was when the found out and went and emptyed there mail box to get more from the error that made it abuse and caused the ones that were legitimate to not be able to use the code i say ban them they were the same ones running around scamming people
    in my opinion i would have to say that i was right i knew that if people started to sell then the gms would cease to want to compensate further and that last bit
    prolly pissed them off slap in the face kinda thing
    so if you are going to ban some one pls dont pick me but
    i recomed -removed- and all accounts related to his ip
    just saying dude was a massive scamer

    oh and what the hell is qqing

    Stop your naming and shaming, if you want to report something put in a ticket. Nobody here wants to hear your complaining.

    Basically whining/crying/complaining in general.

    And it gets stretched out to apply to anything people dislike half the time.

    such a witchhunt, started by those that did not get a single orb, for something that pwe messed up.
    it was their fault to not set up the hard and software properly but everyone just talks about "abuse" instead of the actual problem.

    Ad hominem is generally frowned upon in civilized discourse. I would advise you find another argument.

    Meh, when someone shoplifts, i don't blame the store for not keeping everything locked up so that it's hard to shoplift. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. PWE should've fixed the code to not be so easily exploitable, and they are not totally innocent. But that does not excuse the actions of the people who abused and exploited it, and got the code taken away from everyone else. They are just as much to blame and are in no way innocent regardless of pwe's action or inaction, as it were. And no i'm not referring to the people who got multiple orbs through legitimate problems with the webpage. The imbalance from that falls solely on PWE.

    It's gonna be a bitter pill to swallow for the people still playing when they get the next Ocean orb sale and have to pony up $25 for every orb they want.

    I doubt PWI can ever have a legitimate Ocean orb sale again without people remembering this.

    So obviously to get anywhere on the game, we should abuse the system and jot follow the ToA, because those who have are getting it worse than those who aren't.

    thats exactly my point. there were problems with the webpage. major problems.
    people got 15 orbs already without trying to exploit or whatever.
    and this got reported very very early of the entire case.
    so even without the exploits coming along with it, this would have been very imbalanced for the community. disabling the code "asap" was the right decision but then going to bed and letting us wait so long, just to come up with a witchhunt instead of admiting the own mistakes or fixing the imbalance was just not very professional.

    what would be the point of banning or deleting someones account?
    to make an example?
    sorry but when i see the same bots running arund on my server since 6 months now, after multiple repots, when i see players getting full r9 just by npcing a few thousand dreamchaser packs and so on, i cant take such delayed examples serious anymore.
    especially for something that happened unintended for most of us. we all just wanted to get our gift, the result is known.
