Wow, looks like Greedy is doing so well to put out fire sales like this! It must be that the end of financial quarter is approaching quick, Wall Street must like the number from these auctions events and the 35 boss events. :rolleyes:

Time to stack up on gold even if you don't use gold for the events. I am so tempting to get 1500 golds for my LLP account for gold buildings.

Never mind, even though it says 40%, yet it is the same old 20% off. Once again, we are being misled. :mad::confused:

For my LLP account for gold buildings. I have plenty enough of golds left for this account.

Yeah, nice bait n switch? Or is it a 40% off sale for 24 hrs? Then goes to the typical 20% off? I've never seen a 24 hr gold sale... curious.

No idea what's going on here, but I'm contacting the devs about it now.

EDIT: Those of you who aren't seeing the sale, try logging out and back in. If you're logged in during a data push, you won't see anything new until you log out and back in. As I said, regarding the 40/20, don't know yet.

BAit and Switch, if its advertised as one thing and it changes afterwards its a Bait and switch.

This is not bait and switch. Bait and switch means that the retailer entices you with a product at rock bottom prices to come to their store but knows full wellthe purpose of the sale is to just attract the customer to their store to buy other products. The 'bait and switch' product is typically carried in extremely low quantities and is not presented to the customer as so until they've come to the store.

Ex: walmart advertises that they're selling 80 inch tvs for $899.99. This draws thousands of customers to their store. It turns out walmart is only carrying 2 of these 80 inch tvs. Their sales people then tries to sell 50inch tvs for $1499.99 to all of these customers they just attracted due to the 80 inch tv advertisement.

What GREE IS doing is false advertisement

At 40% off I really thought about it, but upon seeing the same old 20% off I passed. You've got to make it real cheap before I spend real money for virtual money. The cost of a decent unit is more than I pay for most games. Looks like the advertising team and the accounting team don't communicate at Funzio HQ.

I'm not seeing any gold sale. Even when GreeD wants more of our money they screw things up. Status quo around here.

cheiz
09-14-2012, 11:34 AM
Gree is winning again!

I aGree ...

So what does this mean? Does that mean that Gree can't/won't solve all the major issues of this game, but still want to uphold the revenue? Maybe that means that they are actually noticing a decrease in sales... So this would simply be inflation of gold.

IMHO it is pretty fishy to come up with a much higher sale at this time. I think we should've had an update. Not with "bug fixes" but "Major game overhaul"

I find this hilarious, that Gree would offer a gold sale to lower level players and cut out all of the long term/supporting players.

Actually, I'm not surprised at all considering.........

Vile Lynn
09-14-2012, 12:51 PM
It must be something like that starter package they offered for first time gold buyers.
I've never bought gold for MW & I have the 40% off 24hr sale.

Isn't there an announcement sub-forum that mods can use to communicate these things prior to release, like they said they were going to do?

I don't think it has anything to do with level. I think Ryans67 is right about them offering this only to players that never bought gold

Pretty sad that you run a 24 hour 40% off gold sale and only a select few actually are able to get it.

Should all or none! Gree dropped the ball again.

More offensive is that the moderators said they would check into it and provide a response on this thread. I guess I assumed they could walk down the hall, ask the devs 'what's up', walk back down the hall and type a 15 second response here. It will probably be another week before we see any blue writing. I'm not a negative person, but this lack of communication is so tired.

That's right I'm calling all the mods out! CCMARK, CJ, and ER. What takes so long to get a simple response? It seems like these mods have good intentions and are trying to provide support and answers. This indicates that Gree is even more screwed up that they can't get the answers they need and are just as powerless as the customer base they are supposed to represent.

No idea what's going on here, but I'm contacting the devs about it now.

EDIT: Those of you who aren't seeing the sale, try logging out and back in. If you're logged in during a data push, you won't see anything new until you log out and back in. As I said, regarding the 40/20, don't know yet.

You can let us know whenever it's convenient for you. No hurry, it's not like it's timed sale or anything.

I am not so sure I would call it "good intentions". You see, I understand, that they can't admit that the company is so screwed up that they cant do anyting, but when they come back here and pretend nothing happened, or give us the runaround no/answer, they begin to participate in that screwed up system and I see no "good intentions" in this. I see all the promises, then the no-answers or ouright lies (or should I say lies other people told them being forwarded to us.

And when they try to "entertain" us with Haikus and shiit it becomes patronizing. I came here to play the game, not participate in a haiku contest where we pretend we are all happy. I am not twelve years old anymore trying to suck up to "important" people like "community managers". I know no other explanations for some of you being so "forgiving" for the months of **** they served us.

I submitted a ticket and have yet to get a response (as usual). I opened/closed.. Uninstalled/reinstalled app several times yesrerday and never got the splash screen. This sale only visible to a select few further increases my distrust of Gree and their ability to anything correctly. Everything comes across as sneaky and underhanded. I don't understand why the mods can be on every hour checking silly haiku threads and other stuff that means nothing, but can't ever get back to us when there are problems.

This is exactly what I stated when I submitted my ticket. I told them their inability to make things like this equal and fair for everyone was the very reason us players have no confidence in this game. I demanded a 40% sale for my account when my ticket is processed. We shall see.

Ok, here's the scoop at my end. I see the sale on only my iPhone, not on the iPad or iPods. Also not on either Android device. The player that was the sale had it extended 24 hours last night and it was fixed so that I see 40% off all purchases.

I have never bought gold on Android or one of the iPods so it isn't that. Only one iPod has the clientvupdate everything else is the old client so it isn't that either.

It's tempting but I don't want to buy gold for the one player that can see it, is this screwed up or what.

09-15-2012, 07:54 PM
This is completely screwed AO! I can't believe the kick in the teeth that Gree is giving to long term, supporting players. Not only do we not see the 40% sale, but they don't give us anything at all. Doesn't seem right to all of the players who have been supporting the massages since the beginning!

I've never spent the first dime to play this game, but decided today during the 40% off sale would be a good time to buy 50 gold and switch nations. I attempted three times to purchase 50 gold. The transaction didn't appear to go through at all after all of the verifications on the first attempt (no gold appeared in my bank after purchase was made), on the second attempt 50 gold appeared in my bank but then disappeared when I attempted to purchase a "switch nation" option, and on the third attempt, the 50 gold appeared and I was able to purchase a "switch nation" option, but then my character reverted back to the previous nation after just a few minutes and I lost the 50 gold again.

I've sent a ticket to Gree. I'm hoping I wasn't charged three times and they get back to me. Sure won't be spending anymore real money anytime soon.

My iPad has had the 40% gold sale for 3 days now. So I decided I would jump to the dark side and pick up a unit or two for my iPhone, where I am under attack at lower levels. But the iPhone only shows 20%. I have updated but no change. I have turned it off and on many times but still only 20%. I guess I'll be staying a free player and spend my bucks on new software instead. Great job, yippee, way to go...

So, i bit the bullet and tried to purchase 110 gold. I clicked on the icon, entered my p/w and my gold counter went up do 115 (i had 5), a few seconds later the counter counted backwards back to 5. Huh? I thought maybe i entered the wrong password, so i tried again. The gold counter went up to 115 and stayed there. The next morning, i logged in and the counter was at 5.

Now, i must go through the hassle of checking with my credit card company and disputing the transaction(s) if necessary. If there are charges I was completely ripped off. If there are not charges, the 40% sale was just B.S.

I have learned from the forums not to bother contacting support :( because it is so awful. And most importantly, I have learned that the 40% sale if either bogus or an outright ripoff. I will never try to buy gold again. Live and learn.

Bwilliams-

For this type issue you should submit a ticket via the contact support button in game. Support should and will likely fix this type issue for you. It may take several days or a week to get a response but I am confident they will make this right for you. There is a lot of trash talk about support (and yes I am one who speaks about them often). The issue with support is addressing hackers, non-working items, and other type problems. But your issue is within their capability. If you get a poor response reply to email and request that CJ look into your issue. If know one will, CJ will make it right for you (he knows what he is doing).

The only serious guess that I can come up with is that Gree announced it and didn't set up the deal correctly in their system causing all the bugs and are working right now to fix it. That would explain why some bought gold but didn't receive it as well.

Has the deal worked well for anyone?

Well it's Monday now and my iPad is now claiming a 20% sale. My iPhone (where I wanted to add some gold units) never did offer the 40% off. So I remain a free player. After a couple of upgrades to the air base I will probably be buying the units that will end my problems there anyway. So by the time the next sale rolls around I won't need them. Gree had their chance to pull me into the dark side but it just wasn't meant to be.

I replied and told them that the math doesn't quite work out. If I bought three vaults of gold I would've got 4500 bars of gold for $180.

Really??? They Really think we are that dumb to think that 40% off is the same as 40% more?
Pretty sure you could give a bunch of 3rd graders this question and most of them would all get it right....Thats just sad :(

Technically if you spend $100 you have to pretend that that is worth the 1500 gold. If you were only going to spend $60 to get that same $1500 but bought the $100 anyways then you should recieve 2500. You can't act like you are buying anything different because it simply doesn't exist. So Gree for anyone buying a vault during your 40% off they @$100 should get an additional 1000 gold bars.

I resent a ticket and told them if i bought 4 vaults at 40% off it would cost $240
With their offer of 40% more gold it would cost me $400
That's a monetary difference of $160

I got the same reply. I said it was a 40% off sale, not an extra 40% gold bonus at full price. I was going to buy 20vaults at 60 bucks a pop, now I'm not buying any.

I too got same response. I sent a reply explaining that 40% more gold was not same as 40% off sale. I said the devs need to roll this sale out for everyone. I mean really... I can do simple math! :p

If they end up doing sale, you should buy at least 5 vaults. That way you can send ticket in and get the bonus gold for 5 vault purchase in one month. Just have to make sure you submit ticket before the month ends. They won't credit it if it ticket is submitted the following month.

You know, we got 209 post talking about the 40% off sale and none of the staff response to this thread, so I really don't think they will, it's more important to made a " Add me Monday".

Just clarification on these... the wording says 500 (edit) worth of vault purchases not 5 vaults... to qualify you have to purchase (1) 500 dollars worth (2) and it must be vaults

SO if I purchased 500 dollars worth of vault regardless of sale or not it is still 500 dollars and would fall under that category for the bonus.

Correct?

Correct?They only count $100 purchases, nothing less. Vball is correct

I thought I had too but I was going to concede to Vball as I figured she was right and I was mistaken. I still could be wrong. Would need to look at my cc statement from few months ago to confirm though. My memory is fading ...lol!

Ganja
09-17-2012, 07:42 PM
just doesnt make sense for a virtual currency that they would restrict the bonus on non-sale events only. If I would to buy $500 worth its $500 still of income for Funzio... right? Why lose that $500 of income when its all the same sale or not?

You guys want to know whats effed up? I actually got the advertisement, purchased a vault of gold, and received no gold. I confirmed the purchase and everything. I thought it may have been a glitch so i decided to try one more time. This time, the gold was deposited into my in game account but 10 seconds later, it all disappeared and i was at my original ammount i started with. I tried a third time and it gave me the same result as the second attempt. This was all done on friday, sept 14th. I sent in a 3 seperate tickets and still no response. Today is monday, sept 17th. I check my bank account and apple has withdrawn 3 transactions at $60.00 each. Now im out $180.00 when i only wanted to spend $60.00, I have no gold, and Gree has yet to respond to my ticket.

Lol. Yeah according to their 40% off sale, if you bought $200 worth of gold you should be getting 5,000 even.


Really??? They Really think we are that dumb to think that 40% off is the same as 40% more?
Pretty sure you could give a bunch of 3rd graders this question and most of them would all get it right....Thats just sad :(

Technically if you spend $100 you have to pretend that that is worth the 1500 gold. If you were only going to spend $60 to get that same $1500 but bought the $100 anyways then you should recieve 2500. You can't act like you are buying anything different because it simply doesn't exist. So Gree for anyone buying a vault during your 40% off they @$100 should get an additional 1000 gold bars.

Yes, you both are getting at exactly what I told support in my response. I was pretty clear my I thought that still wasn't acceptable.

40% Sale Scenario:
Buy 3 vaults at $60 to receive 4,500 in gold.
4500 / $180 = 25 bars of gold per dollar spent

40% More Gold After Purchase Scenario:
Buy 2 vaults at $100 to receive 3,000 + a bonus of 1,200 = 4,200 total
4200 / $200 = 21 bars of gold per dollar spent

I asked if I buy 2 vaults will they provide a bonus of 2,000 gold instead of 1,200. If not, I'm not interested.

I had almost similar xp last June, but support had credited bck my gold aftr 4 days. The case was responded by Mike.

5 vaults of gold on sale = bonus?

or

$500 spent towards vaults on sale = bonus?

Sale purchases count as full value. If it would be $100, but costs $80 on sale, we count it as $100.

Well there you go. If you get a bonus for purchasing 5 Vaults ($500) in a month then apparently the best time to do it is during a sale. Whoever had the 40% off hopefully made use of this.

Hello Gareth,

Thank you for the message. We are aware that not all of our players received notice of this sale, and we are investigating why. I'm afraid I cannot reactivate the sale for you on an individual basis, but I can credit you 40% more gold on all purchases made over the next two day, 9/19 to 9/21. Please let me know when you have completed your purchasing and I will credit you the gold.

Regards,

I received the same response as Gareth. I wrote back and told them that this was not sufficient.

Here's my reply to support:

"I appreciate the offer. The math doesn't quite line up though. If I would purchase 3 vaults at 40% off, it would cost $180 and I would end up with 4,500 gold.
If I buy 2 vaults and you give 40% more, then I spend $200 for 4,200 (1500 x 1.4 x 2) gold.

To truly have the same net effect, $200 purchase should provide 5,000 gold (4,500 / $180 = 25 x 200 = 5,000).

If I purchase 2 vaults, will you credit the additional 2,000 gold?"

24 hours later, I hadn't received a response and sent another reply as follows:

"I have not heard back on this. I simply cannot make a purchase until I know the math is accurate on the bonus. Please let me know."

1 minute later, I got the reply below:

"I'll do that in this case to make the math work out correctly. Let me know when you purchased the vaults."

Within 10 minutes, I sent this message:

"Thanks. 2 vaults have been purchased." with a follow-up minutes later saying this, "I should have said thank you in advance by the way for crediting the 2,000 gold."

That was 6 days ago. I haven't received the bonus gold and have sent 2 more replies to this ticket without a single response. Additionally, I sent a PM to (er) with the ticket number asking him to write my ticket number on something and throw it at support and he said he would look into it right way.

I know we're not supposed to create threads or make posts crying out for someone to help, but I've sent 6 replies to this ticket and PM'd a mod and can't even get a simple response back from them. What else am I supposed to do?
