Yikes, she's so powerful she destroyed a game mode 💀

Restarted it a bunch. Here’s my screen:

Agreed. This was straight up lazy work and incompetence from Kabam. But hey, at least they’re consistent with it lol

Not a peep as to why they decided to alienate those who weren't either lucky enough to exploit a bug or wanted to play by the rules. Seems fair...

I honestly couldn’t say what I opened, but I’m not sure 4 Paragons has anything to do with it.

Mike just responded in another thread - short version: the game team was made aware of the concerns and alternatives posted here…. And didn’t care.

Which we knew - they didn’t care about what was right, only what was expedient for them. And now they hope people won’t exploit bugs going forward….

Good luck with that.

Hey friends,
First off, thank you for the feedback on the compensation over the past few days. I’ve read every thread, every reply, and every DM.
I get why a lot of you feel this route isn't the move for this comp, especially when you compare it to previous ones. I did bring the feedback to the Team, but ultimately, the decision was made to go ahead with the compensation outlined.

A couple of things we want to be clear about:
We notified that the bug exists as soon as we were aware of it, right when it was fixed, and as soon as we had a compensation plan. From that point, there wasn't much for us to say. As I've said many times, I think it's important you get to speak your mind in a public forum, so I didn't close down any of the threads after a decision was made.
Ultimately, we wanted to lean on the generous side for this issue, since imo, it was a pretty large issue.
Walking the line between “make players whole” and “don’t incentivize future bug abuse” is never easy, and refunding broken Crystals is where we landed on this one.

Each issue in the game is independent of itself. I completely get why many of you are comparing this to the Zola compensation - the situations feel similar on the surface, but in reality, there is a large difference between Basic Crystals and Titan Crystals. Different crystal types have very different economic impacts on the game. Treating every issue with a one-size-fits-all response, regardless of context, just isn’t feasible in the long run.

We know this answer isn’t going to satisfy everyone; it never does in these cases.

We don't want to encourage players to take advantage of bugs, but we do want players to feel confident that the Crystals they open are accurate and correct.
As I'm sure you can imagine, this was as frustrating an experience for us as it was for all of you.
Nobody on the team wants to ship bugs like this, and nobody wants to see the Community upset -
For the obvious reasons, and also because then they have to deal with me yelling (figuratively) about it.

We learned a lot from this instance, and we’re going to keep working on getting better at preventing these issues from happening in the first place.

Why even bother debating with GW. This is the same dude who said the 7* Torch sale wasn't a big deal because 6* Torch is just as good. I don't think he's ever reached GC in his life and clearly doesn't play the game competitively at all or understand the competitive aspects of the game, so it's easy for him to dismiss everything as "not a big deal" and "life isn't fair." I really think he sits around the computer and gets off on being the devil's advocate whenever Kabam does something to screw over the community.
