GREE made an error.
GREE admitted it.
GREE fixed it.
GREE compensated you.
You all should have got your gold/energy back. Plus 5 refills.
What's the problem?
Be honest with yourselves, when you saw regen units for Normal level, weren't you sceptical?
GREE makes mistakes, yes, probably more than most. But they've dealt with it. You've lost nothing.
Get over it.
Cue........
Skeptical? Lol, with that attitude I should be skeptical even logging into the game.
I get your point Rob, but Gree has messed up way too many times and it was not a display error. Display errors don't change your regen.
Cue....
I get and accept your point re it not being a display error.
But I just wish sometimes, those who tend to see the dark clouds rather than the silver lining, would just say "thanks GREE, you messed up, but you admitted it and fixed it".
This error was tiny, irrelevant. I got all the original units (I even screen dumped them as I was sure they were wrong) and all its actually cost me was the extra 10 minutes it took to tap.
I now have a bunch of bonus units (admittedly not as good as the original ones) and I have some more energy packs.
Is it wrong to suggest that, as we all know this game is filled with bugs and glitches, that we just accept they are the norm?
I've stated in this forum before (and was berated) that I like all the bugs and glitches, they add character to the game. THEY ARE THE GAME.
You know GREE won't get everything fixed, so just accept it. Try and laugh at these issues rather than get wound up by them.
Have fun. Laugh. See only the silver linings.
If you want perfection, go play another game.
hmm, i'm not sure i would call +7% energy regen and +11% health regen tiny or irrelevant. Maybe to yourself who might have a great health and energy regen. What gree did was a textbook example of bait and switch. i find it very hard to believe that it was done on accident. i'm guessing they are starting to see just how far they can push the envelope here before they tip the cart completely.
the reason so many are upset is because for once, these precious rewards were up for grabs and attainable by pretty much anyone. There weren't just limited to the top 10 and so people went for them. people who never bought gold in the past, bought gold in order to finish the event. people were feeling good about being able to actually get a decent boost for once and then gree decides that it's gotten enough gold sales, so they took back all the useful boosts and replaced them with a bunch of pos boost units that no one in their right mind would spend gold, refills, or time on.
and so, you think that gree giving someone who just spend $20 on gold, 5 energy refills makes it all better? and they didn't even refund the gold either, they just gave out energy refills instead of the gold, which is just another example of them rigging the game.
so i fail to see how any of this could be construed as funny, unless you're a gree developer. then yes, they are most likely laughing their asses off.
cue....
President Hightower claimed it was a display error, that's why I believe he/she lied as if it was just a display error players wouldn't have experienced there regen percentage change.
I understand where you are coming from. I have put up with and I expect glitches from Gree, it's quite sad that it's the norm but you are right, it is the norm for Gree. I have put up with them too long and decided over a year ago that gold free is how I'm going to play. The fact of the matter is the whole game is now leggy and slow, the oy event I haven't had issues with is RB. My time here is almost done as its getting old playing an almost unplayable game.
And I have moved to s game that is near perfect without any glitches in past year. It's called Clash of Clans from Supercell.
Thanks WBS that was the tidbit of information I was looking for. So this wasn't a display error per se since the actual unit actually (as incredible as it seems) worked as intended then this was more than a mistake.
Rob even if this did or did not seem too good to be true you have to admit that not everyone reads this forum nor do they fully understand the ongoing lack of credibility this company projects to it's dwindling customer base.
I agree with Speed's comment about sucking it up and accepting their mistake and letting those that got the original unit keep it as it was.
I bet for the first time in ages gree saw a spike in sales and also for the first time in a long time customers were happy. But then someone at gree suddenly changes the goal posts and calls this a 'display error'. Um nope, if it was only just a display error then the unit would not have also had the appropriate boosts. Therefore it seems pretty clear that this was intentional and for all intents and purposes fraud.
If this was an honest mistake, then why in the world would gree not just give out the original unit. It's not like these things are real, they are just 1's and 0's spinning around on a hard drive in a server farm in other words it would not have cost them anything. Now instead, they spend what little apparent resources they have doing a bunch of coding to initiate a refund and energy pack compensation, er well if that even ever happens.
I'm sure gree feels such contempt for it's customer base that it truly doesn't care any longer and hides behind it's TOS, that's fine to a point except that they have firmly crossed the line in terms of their contractual obligations with Apple and Google. Here's Apple's and it doesn't take much reading to see that MW is well outside of fulfilling the requirements established by Apple.

The biggest thing people seem to miss here is that for NORMAL LEVEL EVENT, the boost was 2% health regen, then a 1% health regen. This is a big deal because it goes along with their current boost percentage (of things like 2% boost) AND that the boost worked. To the free and lite gold players, 3% health regen and maybe 7% energy regen time do help but aren't game breaking and should be a 'treat'.
On top of that, a 9% health regen was in prestige which can't be obtained for free and required spending. No matter how you guys want to try and spend it, this was intentional. I have no idea what is intentional for a game when the content makes it past QA. IF for 1/5, there was a -20% health regen time, then we all would have know it was a **** up but the boost was what you would expect for the level. I'll say it again. The boost did work, in two ways and one of them was to get people to spend money.
If you are not c, you have no rs...
Well said,
The boosts although very nice for some are a side issue,the real issue here is a matter of how they address the so called error.
Any respectable company would take it on the chin and move on,it's not like these few different boosts made a single difference to GREE,be it error or not they would have been better suited to accept it and maybe even post we made error but you may keep said units/boosts,this would have been a good gesture to the long suffering playing community and gone some way to improving the relationship between players and GREE.
BUT NOT GREE,they change units boosts,show no respect for those who took the effort to complete these events including some they spent REAL money to do so.
It's disgusting behaviour and both unethical and unprofessional.
I have played this game for almost 4 years at top10 level,due to this action by GREE I will not spend anything else on this game.
I have screens of boosts offered and changed units etc which I intend to forward to Apple and Google with an explanation of this event.
I do not want a refund from Apple/Google I just want them to be aware of GREE practices and I hope they take some action to resolve the constant issues with this game,I would encourage others who are not happy to complain to Apple/Google too
I think this just was somekind of test, to see how the sales would spike maybe, and now they know.....
All for the future gold bulldozering before plug pulling LMAO.
I pondered the same thing. We know this was intentional and President Hightower is covering for Gree's fraud. It would make sense to try and suck money out of a bigger part of the player base than just the whales or lite whales. We can only hope Gree gets what is deserved.
I know it was intentional.
If you are not c, you have no rs...
For the first time in years i was looking forward to playing again and being competitive.
Now back to looking forward to DELETEING it again!!!
The only reason i still play is because of the friends i met and chat with everyday!!
Gree's BBB page is quite entertaining to read.
I've often contested this, too. How can they keep it up? (rhetorical)
I think this may fall on Apple, somewhat.
Before I got a new iPhone6s, my apps always crashed, lagged... was horrible trying to play. Now that I have a new phone, no probs! My point is, I guess, if the app works on a device but not the others... well... It does not seem fair, but it's the tech-world we live in now: buy the upgrade or suffer. *smh*
