[Update] Valor Glitch

[Clementine]

Update from the Developers! We will be releasing a fix shortly that will prevent the purchase of these units for users without the proper rank. Additionally beginning today we will be removing the items from the inventories of those users who should not have them. A friendly reminder to please take a few moments to review the Terms of Service.

I will be locking all existing threads about this topic and redirecting them here. Please post any questions, comments, or discussion here. Please keep it on topic and follow the Code of Conduct.

Are they going to remove the cash, valor and units bought from it as well?

[Captain Buck Slayer]

I have to say I don't think it is a violation of the TOS. But I suppose you guys could change that whenever you want to so its not my place.

I am waiting to hear back from the team regarding this. Once I have a response I will update here.

11 people from my team that finished 40th have quit the game. Maybe you should tell them to come to a conclusion and implement it quickly and CORRECTLY.

Side note for everyone: what was the last new element of the game that worked correctly when it came out?

Full Assault...nope wait I was wrong. It was Frontline. Oh, wait. That's not right. Ver4.2? Sorry wrong again. Ver5.0 ... oops I did it again. I give up

I think you meant to say "server down time." That is the answer we were looking for.

Thank you for the update, red line for me, if they do nothing on it

This technically does not fall under any of this. If its available for purchase without hacking, than its legit. Gree has the right to remove anything from the game, and im glad they are.

Thanks for the update Clem but it may already be too late, your (Gree's) inaction over the weekend has already lost us several long term players with one too many glitches

Technically, it falls under "exploit". In the store it clearly shows that the units are meant for those who have completed Apollo Ops Rank. Definitely nothing was hacked, no third-party software was used, no macros or automated bots were used, the game code wasn't modded, etc... but an ability to be able to obtain something unintended was discovered and exploited. I don't honestly believe a single person purchased them truly believing the game intended for them to be capable of purchasing them. Yes, hypothetically, someone could have stumbled upon them in someone's inventory, seen the "Buy" button, and bought them without ever knowing what they were. But you and I, and everyone else here, all know how small the percentage of people who fall in that category would be.

Technically, everyone has cheated!!! I'm sure the units were supposed to be on sale for 12m valour and not cash, which is where this "slip up" occurred. So therefore anyone who has them in their inventory is indeed a cheat.
