what difference would it make?
Gree needs to own their mistake and stop blaming the players!!! Blame the programmer that screwed up. I would have more respect for this company if they said, hey we made a mistake, we are removing the gold. Case closed!! They are still allowing others to benefit from their mistake. The war is still going on, people are spending gold to attack other players that they have no hope in beating if those accounts weren't banned. What are you going to do about that gree??? You have banned players because they had an unfair advantage. Because of those actions, you have given others an unfair advantage. How do you fix it?? Shut the war down, reset the game, and have a do over. That is the only way to settle this fairly.
And then locked the thread! You shut up you dirty person that spent real money on the game and glitched us because we threw up retarded stuff! Your account is locked buster!
This forum should have a direct link to The Onion, but it doesn't. This is really what's happening.
I don't see how Gree can beat this one, but somehow, some way, I'm sure they will.
They never cease to amaze, and that is awesome.
If this has taught anyone anything, I hope it teaches everyone that spending real money on this game can get you banned. You buy the wrong bundle with real money that's the best deal, you can kiss your account good bye.
Merry Christmas!
What does everyone want for Christmas?
How about we talk about that until the gold spenders get their accounts back?
LOL!
I want peace on Earth! Aim high!
I already got it. Thank you, Santa!
On the lighter side of it all, was the best 2 hours of playing this game ever!!!!!
Yes we all cheated the game by buying something they offered for sale.....oh wait,no we didn't! I was hoping for a permanent ban as we all broke the rules, but that would then end the game banning those who bought gold! Simply reset it, only way to be fair to all. If they don't then everyone will have a good claim for refunds.
So people bought gold, admittedly it was an exceptionally good offer.
Gree has let other programming errors stand eg: running the wrong prize script for 12 hours in a box event, where some players doubled their stats during that time, and Gree allowed those players to keep playing.
So even though the gold sale was to good to be true, players would have been foolish to assume Gree would do anything, it would depend on how many bought that bundle. Plus if one bought others needed to also buy just to keep up
Sigh.... I wish I had, I would have had the best gold spending fun ever, and getting banned BONUS. Get to have a tap free weekend
I feel for those who hace gotten banned for this error. I completely agree with the points raised. My problem is quite differfent however; I paid for two $79.99 gold packs at start of the event. Paid for the first, received 2750 gold, immediately paid for the second, and had 2750 gold removed from my account and the packs disappeared. I have sent Gree 3 emails and have not had any response. Charges immediately posted to my credit card however, which i have now disputed with american express and reported Gree for fraud. I have had it with their **** and this may be the last straw.
According to the two trolls, that would be cheating. You got too much gold for your purchase. You typically get 1500-1850 for that purchase price. That bundle was 2,750 so you should not have bought it because it was cheating in the eyes of Gree, Dip, and Grim.
There is no difference between an extra 1,000 in gold and extra 2m; IMHO. How can one differentiate?
No one now.
Oh my God, Grim give it a rest, you're just not funny anymore, it's like you're not even trying.
This situation is too damn funny! I am very sorry I missed watching the fun all unfold live, because this is just too rich lol! Even if I had seen the erroneously priced bundle packs, I still wouldn't have bought them, though, not because of any moral issues but because I'm never giving this company another dime, even if they were offering unlimited gold. The fact that they have the audacity to turn this around on the players like they're at fault, and to punish them, and then threaten them with further punishment, I mean lmfao it's like something out of a satire. Also you've gotta love how quickly they respond to this, whereas issues that disadvantage their players take weeks to even get looked at. Just amazing.
Gree, you're terrible and I can't wait to watch you go under whenever that day finally comes. You're morally reprehensible and anyone who ever gives you another cent ought to have their head examined.
Actually tier 1 bundle is 2750 gold same as the botched first advertised bundle people got banned from buying that first time around, also if that account was opened at time of being banned your are unable to access other accounts on same game centre.
So in the second update from our Gree finest here is there statement
"These accounts have been restored to the state immediately before purchases of this bundle were made"
This is false and complete bull**** cause it hasnt. Could any of the development team comment on that? Thank you.
I look forward to that response from Gree. Let's all hold our breaths and wait for it.
Lol so Rodimus has time to come in and edit "offensive language" out of my post but doesn't have time to comment.
What would rodimus say? Aside from posting in a different color and being willing to prostitute himself for some greegeld, he's just like you.
Shaming? If he's ashamed of it, it's news to me.
U miss a question : what about ' ip take with that gold ?
I dont spend one gold me on this war when i see they have remove gold and cash but not ip. There is a problem and maybe impossible to remove that to many work and a script screw all game. Standing out of war was the best way.
I'm pretty sure f@st is mistaken about how they're dealing with cheaters' ip this war, but it's hard to tell...
This has to be the end of this game..
Those who bought the gold are annoyed at not keeping it so will most likely stop buying after Gree labelled them cheats
Those who didn't buy gold get shafted by lower ranks in battle (Gree will not sort it out, clearly impossible otherwise they would have removed points already)
Those who bought other gold spent more to rank higher....
It's a balls up beyond the realms so far.
Game over
If dignity is what keeps the top spenders spending, and gree ousting them as cheaters is enough to make them quit, then they would have stopped spending a long time ago once they realized how much they wasted on this game, which of course was designed with a life cycle in mind. By now, they're too "invested" to quit anyway. This game will never end.
There is absolutely no way that Gree can track how all of that gold was used in the game, so the "that's not fair" whiners will not ever let this rest, no matter what Gree does. The usual suspects have more than enough whine fuel for months/years to come. If you were tired of all the insipid "What about the accomplices" posts, just hang on. This will blow that out of the water.
The whiners so far are the ones who bought it, not people saying GREE needs to undo it.
