    should I buy the ship everyone is talking about?

    I'm sick of checking this forum for an answer from Gree and am becoming increasingly agitated on what is going to happen and I'm now thinking of finding someone (shouldn't be to hard) and buying them myself, I'm worried they are going to keep the units, being playing for 3 years and don't know if I could quit but I don't want to put all 3 years down the pan

    You are correct in the fact they will keep them, but most have sold them and purchased units that fall inline with their rank

    This also worries me, how could gree know or take back what all the valour and money has been going on to?

    Gree knows what you bought, what you sold and what you recycled. They can fix this.

    They can't. There is literally no way to reverse the damage. The benefits have been laundered into donations and other units that are more appropriate.

    Buy one unit. If gree doesnt fix it, then buy 3000.

    Problem is its not practical to search thousands of accounts and any massive fixes are bound to fail since its clear iOS and Android dont function the same.

    Is this why there is a code of silence from Gree also, do they even know how to to fix it, I can just see them now arguing amongst themselves as to who's going to break the ice on the forum

    I'm anticipating major refund requests to Apple. MW might soon be for droid only, as they are now in a league of their own.

    The best thing they can do is remove all ships from all accounts that are not the Apollo rank. We know they can do mass unit removal and do refunds.

    Agreed. This is probably the best fix. Also, accounts found with the units should be penalized with being reset to 0 cash and valor. I think this is all-around the most fair approach. After all, players violated the ToS by participating in a glitch. It's not even that big of a punishment, it just resets any advantage that they may have gained from exploiting the glitch.

    Regarding the laundering issue, Gree ought to set most units (except boost units) to 'high' casualty rate for a short time, including valor units. The game needs a correction. There's too much in-game $ in the MW in-game economy because of the arjun recycle glitch. It's fair to say that in most cases the boost units were gained legitimately (from LTQ, WD, FL, etc). Setting units to 'high' casualty rate would effect a slow, generalized stat deflation over time. To incentivize people to do this the attacker should be made immune from unit casualties, whilst the defender is the one that incurs the casualties. As a result, generally, the most active players in PvP will stay a step stronger than others.

    Under this scenario, I think over 3-4 months things will probably return to normal when people start purchasing units again to make up for those lost from their army.

    Please note that purchasing these items is considered a breach of the Terms of Service.

    The Development Team is aware of this issue and is currently working on a resolution. Once I have more details, we will provide an update.

    They are going to do nothing - I gave up and got the ships -

    Worse they can do is ban me - They are doing me a favor at this point
