Last August, I sent GREE a ticket telling them that videos for free gold had ceased, and that the ones in the offers section weren't paying out as promised.
I was told that GREE had "discovered that a third-party ad provider contained an exploit that resulted in some players being rewarded extra gold from videos" and that until the third-party company fixes their issue, they would not have video ads on iOS.
Six months later the situation has not changed.
From a gaming point of view, this puts iOS players at a serious disadvantage. Android users report 30 videos / gold bars per day - that's 900 bars a month or 5,400 bars since my email. More iOS members of my faction have quit the game in this period than Android users. Coincidence? I doubt it.
I suggested that GREE either fix the problem - surely it can't be that hard to suspend the third-party provider until they fix their "issue" - and/or suspend videos on both platforms until they do.
But GREE have done nothing. The offers are still advertised in-game and free gold is promised yet never delivered. I can't help wondering how many people are still trying to get the promised bullion and how many more users MW will have to lose before anything is done about it.
Surely GREE isn't milking the situation while it lasts; surely it is making every effort to fix this as a matter of urgency.
Anything less would be amoral, unscrupulous and possibly illegal in some countries.
