    Theres a big difference in buying a sltq prize and then gaining it again in the same event vs prizes rewarded from indy placements in different wars and cycles. Im surprised, and the fact it only applies to certain rewards makes it even more insane. I can get 3 of the same 13% car attack and end up with 39% car attack total while 3 of the same 13% mafia attack only gives 13% total.

    For the upcoming war i allready have Several of the prizes for top 100 in my inventory so ending top 2000 aactually gives me more stats than ending top 20, that Cant be how its meant to be.

    You don't think Gree is trying to tell you to spend less gold? That has to be the answer...

    Until I checked my stats. I had around 2.250m attack before prizes was given out, after I got 2.300m.
    Far from the announced 14% and I thought there was a mistake so ticket sent.

    The answer from Gree:

    Thank you for contacting GREE Support. I have inquired with our game designers regarding this issue and unfortunately the rewards with high mafia attack % boosts were not designed to stack with themselves. I sincerely apologize to for any inconvenience or frustration that this causes you. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

    Regards,


    The mods do not stack, a minor issue they "forget" to tell you in the announcement for prizes.

    So to all who want a nice mod from indie placement in the events, you will not get it, just the announcement up front.

    Please keep on like this Gree, it really makes me want to continue with this game. I think the right describing word for this will get me banned for lifetime.
    How odd if this is correct, that there would be an advertised prize, but it does not actually get awarded if you buy or win it. Sounds like you deserve a refund of whatever you spent to purchase this prize. Perhaps if the customer support declines to award you the prize you bought you should consider other options, whatever they may be.

    Color it odd then as it most definitely is correct. Congratz OP. That's somewhere in the order of 8,000 -11,000 Gold required to achieve that rank for an item that didn't stack.

    Effectively, there was a better prize given to everyone for free today Feel better?

    No? Well, take heart. ITunes refunded an amount similar to what you expended to a team-mate in the same boat. Apparently when an advertised prize doesn't actually do what it says on the can, you have an open and shut case in your favor. I suspect Google are equally accommodating.

    Until GREE put in a disclaimer: these modifiers won't stack or actually address the issue, if anyone finds themselves in the same tier again they are better off skipping the flippant support.

    Pretty sure this constitutes fraud. When you make an in-app purchase in this game you are buying virtual currency. If you got the virtual currency you paid for... You got what you paid for. Getting what you paid for and asking for a refund while keeping whatever you got sounds pretty fraudulent to me, but I'm no lawyer.

    What's next, buying tickets at a carnival and asking for a refund after you spent your tickets losing at carnival games?

    This is not about how much gold you use whatever its for 10.000, 5000, 1000, 500, 10 USD or free/month, but its the time you put in game to get mods and don't get what's promised.

    It can hurt ALL type of players and therefore an important issue IMO.

    Where is the MOD when you really need them??? Still no answer or comment from them.

    Same for SA prize, mod didn't stack but have two in my inventory. Noticed it weeks ago but oh well, just a game I continue wasting money on. No reason to make a big deal about it...

    Just ... no. You have about as much understanding of what is a meaningful analogy, how a contract involving a scrip works and the general representation of a proffered object vs what one receives as you do about the other thread you directed people from (to here) stating it to be the same issue.

    Hint: One is about SA modifiers not stacking despite this not being disclosed. The other is about the numerical limit of the int type which can be reached by someone without ever participating in SA. Good luck on you quest for mod-hood. The fact Tadahh couldn't work out the difference either puts you in good stead for the job.

    but I'm no lawyer.
    Thanks be.

    Actually not just SA mods, this also is the case for indy rewards from regular wars.

    Fraud
    noun
    1. deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.

    Paid for gold and got gold? Asking for a refund because you are unhappy with the result AFTER using the gold you bought is an attempt to deceive or trick your app store in an effort to gain an unfair AND dishonest advantage in game.

    If you think otherwise you are an ignorant fool.

    Isn't that exactly what gree did if they are advertising a product with a mod that does not deliver as promised?

    Correct. If what OP says really happened, it seems that there may be an improper inducement, i.e. A prize of a modifier was promised, OP says he bought the prize, but then the prize he bought was not awarded. If OP is correct that customer service refused to correct the error for him and all those similarly affected, they made the problem worse, because now they have notice, and cannot claim an unknown programming glitch. Customer service needs to reverse their position promptly or OP would be justified in pursuing other options, whatever they may be.

    Weasel your an idiot!
    He brought gold to achieve rank to achieve a bonus! That bonus does not stack. So in actually fact he's at a DISADVANTAGE not gaining an advantage.
    So well within his rights to seek a refund.
    I got 2 full refunds from apple (and haven't brought a single gold bar since) for similar issues. Like when gree handed out war prizes an hour before wars finished

    I'm sure you're just trying to get people riled up because there is no way you could honestly believe this...if you go to a casino and play table games you have to buy chips. Does that mean your transaction has now ended? No. You have simply exchanged your currency for their currency at the agreed upon rate. Now you are spending that currency on items or services. This is still currency, even if it's virtual. If you spend the currency on an item and don't get what's promised you are entitled to either ask that the situation be resolved to your satisfaction or ask for a refund.

    Now, if you spend this currency and lose it because you didn't read the rules or just weren't sure what was going on, well then that's caveat emptor...
