Bringing the EB into this is stupid. Gree could have stopped it, like they've done before, but they let it run.

But you didnt wait to kill it did you? Even though you reasonably knew that gree made a mistake, you didnt wait till the next day to start killing. Im not calling you a cheater, what im saying is that its not cheating, glitching, hacking or anything else. Gree screwed up, they NEED to fix it, but they wont.

Real life: an airline mistakenly posts a ridiculously low fare. The info goes viral and people take advantage of it before the airline corrects their mistake. Sometimes they choose to honor the airfare, sometimes they don't.

Maybe the real answer is for gree to fully allow and disclose this info be shared as soon as they are found instead of the hush hush hints. And if gree would stop with the upgrades on Fridays and just before WD, the impact would be lessened.

As an ios user, this really sucks that some of my opponents have gained an advantage and, to my knowledge, none of my faction has been able to exploit this, but unless the droid users have hacked into this unit, I really can't say they are cheating and maybe the solution is to give the iOS users the same ability for a limited time.

My $.02

I do believe that gree does owe ios after this glitch. do I think this is fair not really.. but I do know once posted in forum the amount of teams we have faced with incredible stats has exploded. I am all for taking back the boats from those that don't qualify to have them.. but what about the players that do deserve to have them and have recycled them ..... do they lose everything as well since even the reward for recycleing them is a programming glitch as well. ideally they answer would be yes as a glitch is a glitch is a glitch and if one gets punished so should all. as for those locked out well most likely it is because they received MORE the 2b valor and the 32 bit os on android apparently cant handle it .. so causes error and wont let them log in. but those same accounts COULD log in threw apple and once valor is reduced to under 2b they could access threw droid again as well. so the lock out inst done by gree per see it is done by programming limits of the 32 bit os. Again point is I am all for gree taking back the ships from those that shouldn't of been able to receive them. but beyond that then they would have to also punish those that should of had them but took advantage or recycle program errors as well as that wasn't supposed to happen either. Meaning a big hassle for gree and a big hassle for al the lvl 300's plus that used it to boost their cash or valor(even thou they rightfully purchased the units). Because the amount of refund is ALSO a glitch and was exploited. I think grees best and simplest fix is to open glitch to apple for 2 days then close it to everyone. at least it will allow ios to balance the field a lil more. sucks to be IOS user now. (sorry you either love apple or android ((rarely both)) and I love android)

Montverdi the game economy was altered forever at Christmas with the tank glitch. Result: Gree sold big buildings for Gold so people would have something to do with their new found billions. Not to mention sell +1 upgrade for Gold for the same reason. Perhaps Gree is just milking the game for all they can during it's decline and eventual finish. I just wonder how they will profit from this latest screw up. Perhaps sell it to iOs users. hahahahahahahahaha

Just dont be a dumbass and get more than 2 billion of valors.

If I knew how to post a screen shot I would show that a moderator says that using a glitch is against rules and is punishable by being banned

Amen to that!

People know darn well those ships aren't authorized for their rank.

---

If it is not authorized, how come I can buy the units even if I have not the rank? If I click on the boat, then nowhere there is message saying I am not allowed to buy these ships. Ergo, I can buy the ships.

To Anyone that calls it cheating, did you hit day two of epic boss right after day one finished, or did you wait till 2pm the next day to start? Wouldnt that be taking advantage of grees mistake?

Epic Boss, I think you will find that did not benefit some players over the rest

In a Q&A Gree said that glitching was part of the game and not punishable by ban. Moderators have no authority, only for this forum. The mods are not involved in the decision making.

Its Cheating pure and simple, people new what they were doing when they exploited the glitch

Its not cheating. Was it cheating when in february last year everybody could win EB because only 1 free attack was required to kill the boss? Was it cheating with the last EB that all the six day faction prizes could be won on thr first day? Imho, no. And this is similar. So no cheating.

No its cheating, taking units you are not entitled too, so yes its cheating

Units are available to buy so not cheating.

I am not sure which faction you play in, but did your faction obtain all the faction goals from EB on the first day? They you obtained units you were not entitled to.

Doesnt matter. See nobody would be complaining if everyone could do it. Only crying foul are the ones that cant do it. If they could, nobody would be cheaters correct? So dont throw the word cheaters around, the *****ing should be directed at gree to fix the problem.
