The pros and cons of Gree awarding TAW a prize they didn't earn (finishing streaks)

[aron]

Oh, my. It's really easy. ALL OF YOU! Stop Buying Gold!

You obviously haven't learned your lesson, yet, so this is probably falling on deaf ears. Just Stop Spending Money With GREE! They aren't going to make it fair. They aren't going to provide a bug-free experience. They don't give a damn about you. Stop paying them for a lack of service. Who gives a damn about cutting off TAW's streaks. Let them have them. Be all smug knowing that you have $1000 in your pocket. Go gold free and go to Hawaii, instead! Learn your lesson, Monte. You're smart enough to figure it out. Make GREE regret the decision.

Listen to this guy..

[surfinguy369]

They won't listen. SAS whines and cries after every war about something and yet still spend boat loads of money. I guess they love paying gree to screw them, it's cheaper to get a hooker guys and at least you would leave with a smile on your face.

So very true.

As previously stated, don't get mad, get even. Give Gree not one red cent...the ultimate revenge. If you can't do this, & therefore continue to play, then you should be thrown to the wolves. RIP

SAS scored 16 million in one battle?!?!?!!? That's almost half their total for the whole war.
Gadzoooooks

I think SAS and other syndicates should be mad over this. Spending gold to stop there streak was there plan and to find out they where getting prize anyway is pretty low blow. Congrats to SC on completing there streak with out free prizes.

You are right, of course. I was willing to accept the bugs. The poor service. The questionable, possible favoritism we had seen in the past. But this is an order of magnitude beyond anything that has happened in the past.

Does this imply that Monte is quitting the game? More than likely, NOT. LOL

We could only hope.

[KING Mr932]

Wow!! Monte was banned for airing Gree's favoritism for taw. Awarding them the prizes was a big mistake. Wish everyone would finally just wake up. Stop supporting the scam if I get banned oh well I stopped tapping. It feels good to not tap tap tap lmao. The best way to teach this company a lesson is to stop spending like others have said already. The crazy thing is it won't happen for the simple fact none of you brainwashed junkies wants to be left behind in stats. With all that said see you all later.

There was a legitimate, verifiable issue in the game that prevented these two syndicates from participating in the event. In response to that, we offered them a solution at the beginning of the event. They still participated in the event exactly to the best of their ability. SC was able to receive the streak prize. TAW was not. Because of this issue, we went ahead and credited the streak prize to TAW. We would have done the same for SC or any other syndicate affected by the issue. In this case, only two syndicates were affected by the issue.

We are not playing favorites. We don't care what syndicate you're in. In fact, if you read these kinds of threads you can see that the top syndicates spend more time yelling at us than any other players. My favorite syndicates are ones with players that cause the least amount of drama, which disqualifies all of the top syndicates. There is no favoritism. There is us, doing our best to make things right for a syndicate that encountered a real issue during the event.

You can bring up past events where syndicates had matching issues but weren't offered compensation. These matching issues were not as easily verified and confirmed as the issue that happened in this past event. If we had a way to quickly identify and verify those matching issues in past events, we would have offered similar compensation.

Shut up science *****

i was on the last level of a ltq and they game froze lost out on the final prize . sent email and they more or less said tough luck.


me and alot of my syn members was kicked out the game for at least 4 hours up until 1 day . our team dropped out the top 25 because of this (we got no special weapon for that )

not this war but the last nearly everyone lost time during the war , no one got a weapon for that.

i brought a vault of gold and i never got it until two wars later meaning it was too late (never got anythink for that problem).

when leaders was being booted out of their own syn , no one got a special weapon for that even though they missed out on a load of events.

why should certain teams get special treatment?.

In that case, any syndicate that was 4 battles from finishing a streak (does not matter which level) and had "server issues" (very common in this game) should be given the reward for that streak level.
I do believe SAS should receive a refund for the gold spent on that match and SC should be given a second item with mods.
TAW, wipe your lips, you still have some residue on the side of your mouth.

None of those are verifiable issues based on our game logs except for the missing purchase. The big qualifier in my post is that the issue has to be something that we can identify and locate everyone affected in our game logs. For missing purchases, we credit the gold, but no further compensation is available. This action is maintained for all players/syndicates in the game.

In that case, any syndicate that was 4 battles from finishing a streak (does not matter which level) and had "server issues" (very common in this game) should be given the reward for that streak level.

It was not a server or connection issue. It was a specific issue that affected these two syndicates. If other syndicates were affected by it, they would have been offered the same compensation.

@TheOracle - monte, being the sad old man he is, asked me to pose a question regarding why your proposed solution wasn't made public when it was offered. As much as I dislike the dude and his cheat-happy ways, I've always been a proponent of the open / honest communication that you guys un-Americanly do not believe in. So, would you care to explain to us dumb Americans why you support the socialist agenda of hiding information and participating in cover ups?

[Hawke]

I don't get how Gree can justify saying that there's no special treatment of anyone. SC got the streaks, TAW didn't. So the streaks were still attainable in the timeframe they had. I'm quite sure that if this had happened to SC and not TAW, Gree would have never given them the vest.
