I recently sent an email to gree asking about the speed goal item from the last ltq. I finished the ltq, received the items but the modifiers don't stack. I also mentioned in my email that the accomplice thing hasn't been straightened up yet and mentioned that the epic boss was a little to much. They suggested asking you guys for "insight and tips". Do you guys have any insight or tips on how to make the stacking items that don't stack...stack? Are you guys withholding info on accomplices? As I'm typing this I realize what the sender of the email has done! They are going to make you guys tell me that they don't give a crap about me or my money instead of doing it them selves. So, I guess it's time to ride the refund train and then be a "server space taker upper" Thanks for reading, if anyone made it this far.

Items didn't stack.
They can make them stack retroactively.
They did it with the daily goal items from last war.
They won't make them stack anyway.
Something about trying to curb stat inflation.

Accomplices are still in your inventory.
They didn't take them away.
Consider them like weapons you got last week that are obsolete.


The short version is get a new account until it is obsolete.
Rinse.
Repeat.

How many henchmen do you have?

534. I was hoping they would help more after I broke the 500 mark.

Those are probably just ordinary mafia members. Henchmen are special.

Ha. There was actually a henchman reference when I first started typing. I took it out prior to posting. I wasn't around for the henchman era and it seems to lose its comedic effect when the newbies do it.

Don't feed the troll.... Regarding your question, you got stuck in the undisclosed non-stacking trap. You spent real $$ to get the prize but we're not awarded what you were entitled to.

Edit:
Apparenltly someone gets in and edits out possible avenues of recourse, such as previously were in my post. So, sorry I'm unable to assist you in this forum, but you might seek advice in chat apps.

The "henchman era" contributed to the decline of this forum.
Before that individuals actually helped each other improve their game.

There are some on this forum that decided they either didn't want to be helpful or that it didn't matter.

They tell me that, too. :rolleyes:

It's GREE's way of nicely saying that they can't or won't help you.

I have to please ask that offensive anagrams not be used on the forum. Yes, I know that Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is shortened to WTF and it's fine to use the anagram in place of using the full LTQ's name while it runs.

Sierra Oscar Lima shouldn't be used in this way.

Thank you.

How do you know that's how she intended to use it? It could mean a million different things. It's not her fault how you or anyone else interprets it. Thus, no rules were broken.
EDIT: Not trying to be rude, just stating my two cents (which is worth ten cents)

It's also in the Code of Conduct not to tell staff how to moderate.

Does this mean we can't refer to the items "*****in' ride" or the "gold digging hoe'? Or as is the case with Whisky Tango Foxtrot, is it only ok when Gree does it?


Foxtrot Mayday Lemur.

Edit: ok, so apparently we have to refer to a certain item as the "B!tchin ride".

Please stop distracting Relic so he can continue providing us with information about the game that may or may not be accurate.

Ok, Relic. Thanks for the clarity. :)

I guess I missed out on the meaning of that anagram, and how is that offensive in any way. So you are out of luck... How is that offensive?

How could a game company NOT expect off-color anagrams, when it itself uses off-colored anagrams in naming,events?
Surely the use of the W T F anagram in game was intended to inspire such discussion.

I got an infraction point last week for not spelling words, I used the first letters of the words and filled the rest with asterisks. How many of those points can you rack up before you need to start a new account?

How about the part where they ask him to take to the forums and when people try to help him out, their posts are edited?

That's pretty darn ironic.

Fascinating. Lemme see if I understand. Designers and techies are telling you to come to the forums for an explanation on things that they have been unable to adequately explain or justify…and they designed the things we are to explain?

It just occurred to me... do people often get referred to the forum to ask "senior members" for advice? Is this why I keep getting PMs asking me dumb questions?

I stand corrected on calling them anagrams. The term I was looking for was "acronym."

I explained why WTF is acceptable during the LTQ event and why other acronyms are not.

Can we get back on topic, or should I close the thread? You guys have control over whether or not it's closed by your next few posts....

Yeah, the auto-reply tells players to check out the in-game FAQs & the forums.

"Many senior members of our forums have been playing our games for quite some time. Their insights, tips, and "how-to's" can be extremely helpful." -GREE CS

Funny. I actually come here to get info, not give it.
Not sure why I am still doing the same thing expecting different results... hmm... oh well, happy gaming! :D

I asked you if you were really this arrogant once through PM, but only because I'm a huge fan.

Thank you for replying.

I see you wanted the thread locked then. Locked it is.

Also - all off-topic posts after my request to return to the thread topic have been deleted.
