Going to need a very good explanation on how accs created by gree could ever match up with a real plyr account.. How long has this been happening and how much money is Gree driving extra out of plyrs with these accounts? There are soo many questions at this point...
Did it take you this long to realise that it's impossible for every person to be gauranteed 4 real opponents.. Every event there will be up to 4 lucky people who get matched against a "non playing" name..
Those accounts are inactive placeholders to account missing players..
Only difference this time, is that Gree failed to match all players and therefore we all get a free pass ... 10 points for all, gold feee, no pushing...
At least we are all in the same boat and don't have to worry about these "non playing" names/accounts fighting back
It does look like you're trying to suggest that Gree is using these accounts to fight, but in fact they are just inactive placeholders.. therefore they can't drive gold up.. in fact they would do the opposite.. face them and you don't need to spend a thing to beat them

How would we know if they are gree fake accounts and not fighting? There are enough inactive players in the game that it isn't surprising if oy 2-3 out of the five kill bosses.
We know these accs we are matched with are fake (test) accs, if they can ever matchup with a real plyr, then yes that is a HUGE problem.. it doesnt matter if they score or not. The fact they exist will only make plyrs wonder if they actually can score as well, to push costs up and up. Only 1 group of plyrs could not have an exact 5 plyrs and if it only had 3, then thats better than fake accs being played. How is it fair if plyrs are matching with such accs and others match with a plyr going for 50+ faction kills on day 1 and it cost a plyr over 1k gold vs a plyr 0 gold whom fights fake accs??
I just realized we are all fighting the same people. How did they screw this up?
You're blowing this way out of proportion. It's no different to being matched to an account that hasn't been used in a year... you just get a lucky match on day 1Originally Posted by Stellaman
No different to an auction really. Sometimes you bid on something that someone else wants and that drives the price up.. other times you lucky as no one else wants to bid..
So what if Gree have 4 unused fake accounts to cover for a couple players that wouldn't be in a group of 5.. you just get lucky and don't need to spend gold... GREES lose, not YOURS
And WBS.. Gree's matching script screwed up.. so everyone has a free pass for day one.. it was confirmed by FC and the Player reps
The BOTTOM LINE is that fake accs should NOT EVER be in any type of battle with ANY real account at ANY time!
We can get into many many aspects as to how this can effect the game depending on many different situations.
Yes, yes, the app shall be bug free as well
Bugs are much different than Gree placing fake accs against real plyrs..Yes, yes, the app shall be bug free as well
This is not an uncommon development strategy. I've worked on (developed and lead) many applications that have used dummy accounts or system accounts. In the tech world this is common practice..
Sounds like you are trying to line up a really bad excuse to ask for a refund
What exactly are they developing? This event has been out a long time. If some plyrs get to face fake accs that do not score, it is a decided advantage for them. Again the BOTTOM LINE is that fake accs should NEVER battle any real plyrs, that is a huge problem within the game that yes is worthy of a refund!
I used the word "development".. a standard word in the IT world to talk about the creation/maintenance/interaction with a system or application..
You are blindly ignoring standard technical processes and coming up with a ridiculous excuse to get a refund.
These FAKE UNUSED SYSTEM accounts are standard process to fill in gaps to allow to application to behave normally rather than error out... would you rather not be matched in a group at all.. or maybe be in a group of 4 and not be able to get first prize
Example:: You do realise that a "EPIC BOSS" isnt real either.. thats a character that you fight in the game. Are you going to complain next, that you should only be able to fight other people next?

Why camouflage a non player account with a normal name?
There was a episode earlier where a non player account scored points to.
Now that's a good question. Maybe they should be able to highlight the fake accounts so as you know
This is Hardcore Boss, not Epic Boss.. There is NO EXCUSE for any fake acc to ever matchup with real accs that will evwr be acceptable, esp in an auction event.. Also as solper has pointed out, this only opens many many new questions and seeing the accs match at all with real accs only creates more skeptisim as to what the accs can or are able to do.
I will say it again:
Under NO circumstances at all should fake accs be matching real accs in ANY event EVER
