    Don't be so misleading, as an unpaid volunteer to be a mod you reap many in game bonuses. No one works for free even if your volunteering.

    Now on topic, do you have any info for us on this code/ orb fiasco?
    No... no we do not.

    Unless you consider having people who recognize us asking for information we can't provide, criticizing us in any event where we don't play perfectly, or expecting us to solve their problems as an in game bonus.

    No moderator in any game works for free.

    They either get fancy gifts, bonuses, free premium items, free monthly paymeny like gold or get payed in cash (WarGaming and some more big companys do that).

    Now idk what you get but i know u dont waste your time with so many overwhelming problems for free.

    The only thing the mods get that regular players don't is an open line of communication to the GMs. Just because you aren't someone who would ever be willing to donate their time helping others without pay doesn't mean that everyone is.

    I volunteered my time too, in a different area than moderation, but in the end I found it too frustrating dealing with fickleness of the company and the lack of communication, and gave up entirely after Val left. I have a huge amount of respect for the mods for continuing to deal with the players and company on a daily basis when they are treated so poorly.

    Thank you, Anna.

    Makes me really miss Val, all things considered.

    By the way, since this topic is still active, wouldn't it be better to edit its title ?
    I mean... some people (including me and probably most of european players b:surrender) didn't get any compensation at all, so always seeing that makes me quite nervous b:sad

    Well then, pwi is the exception to the rule.

    And you said "open line of communication to the GMs" which raises questions in itself.

    I'm done playing devils advocate though. b:bye

    I don't know of any game that compensates the forum mods, it's purely volunteer! I've been gaming since mid 90's and not seen a single game that pays the forum mods!

    No one is going to be punished for this abuse and as for any compensation b:laugh it's never going to happen either . PWI has always allowed the abusers to go unpunished so you may as well just go with it and remember " Its not cheating , it's creative glitching ".

    Val was working Hard to keep this game as it was and support it going into the future... Sadly when he left the PWI side took a big downhill dive and is still going that way in many areas. A few people are trying hard to keep supporting this.

    Sadly for now i find my time would be put to better use on something else rather than PWE who dont seam to want to do the right thing or listen to its customers. No customers = no Buisness.

    Good Luck PWE your gonna need it.

    And i expected u did not banned Cash players... so, we got a roll back, a "compensation" that goes wrong (sadly i think is fault of your workers and not us... u always could make that code for just one time... but u did it wrong idk why).... and u obviously u wont do anything about those players who use to spend real money on game....



    YOU GUYS REALLY MAKES ME SICK... ALL OF U ARE JUST THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    why dont you just accept your ineffectiveness and leave us play the game in peace

    Still seeing people with all abused orbs online every day since the bug happened. Would be nice from the GM's to give some kind of estimate on when the measures against the abusers will be taken.
    I'm not (yet) judging their choice of banning people for a periodic time. It's possible and more than likely that if they will be banning the abuser they will remove all the made refinements and roll the individual back to a previous state. Individual rollback + ban seems a good punishment imo: they don't gain anything from the abuse, and are set back to what they were before abusing along with a periodic punishment.
    Only banning and not removing the abused gains seems an impossible measurement as a company to let that slip.
    But as I said, that's just my idea and still awaiting for PWI to undertake action as NW and other events are worse and people are putting +10 refinement requirements more and more.

    Oh and ofcourse, give the same compensation-code to the people that didn't get it thanks to the abusers and code-disabling. It's the least they could do after getting their *** handed to them in all sorts of PVP related events, and missing out on possibly their one shot at a sure demon/sage event card with DQ system going down.

    theres really no point in banning them now since all the money they farmed while not being banned was probably sent to an alt account so they could just start over again with no loss.

    A few game friends sent me an FB message saying they got a year's ban, while others got 2 weeks...I have no idea the tier of severity involved but the only IRL friend I have that plays PWI also got a year's ban as well...

    ..I missed out entirely on the glitch, I was at the gym while this happened b:laugh

    Uhmm,. yeah that dragon orb issue should eb handled quick no matter if they got 1 extra orb or 30, for what i have seen in recent days people are still recieving them by the masses yet nothing is happening to them. All the arguements that have risen from them the ppl gettin large numbers of them and seeing no consequences for their actions. GM's if you truly keep ur word leave non not temperarily banned but no matter if they recieved 1 extra orb they need to learn that abusing the game has strong and adament consequences. Ya say in december there wil be even better rewards or thigns to come; the ppl that abused November are here in December enjoying the lack of real action you are suppose to be taking. let all of them know they arent safe and they need beware!! NOW!!

    Trust me.. they don't care at all about all the ppl that didn't get anything.
    If they did, they would atleast post an update about this even if they still have no further info.
    But instead they just ignore all of us and hope ppl will just forget about this.

    Have you people forgotten already that game companies are about business. Stop whining about your money. I don't care and they don't care, deal with it. All game companies are pure business. Don't think that there are any game that wouldn't care about money.

    I didn't benefit from the glitch. I want nothing added to my account in the way of compensation.

    I can't possibly get what I want out of this situation. Y'see I worked my butt off to get my gear to +10 and get some of the other advantages of hard work and farming. Now I see a number of people whom I used to be able to readily kill, 1-on-1, who have surpassed me with a few keystrokes. That discourages me.

    Since the glitch, I've still been building my toon but I find myself skipping the work a lot more often. Not as a protest. Just because I don't have confidence that I'll get to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I'll +12 everything, get full of JoSD and Deity Stones, finish upgrading the last few pieces, just in time for someone to exploit a glitch and pass me again, sit out for a few weeks ban, then dominate me with their unearned power.

    I still enjoy the game, but I've lost some of the competitive passion. There are too many usurpers who can kill me with their glitch-borne gear.

    If PWI can/will roll back their ill-gotten advantages (e.g. roll back the refines) then I'm satisfied. I suspect that the process is too complicated and too much bother so the non-cheaters must quit or suffer.
