**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

**KNOWN ISSUE**
We have adjusted the node placement of the new AW maps to better allow path traversal. As a result, defender placements have been reset. Please, take a moment to re-place your defender setup. We will be pushing out a message in-game shortly.

And finally, even in the case of cars, if there was a problem that was actually harming people, like say a defect in the safety systems of the car, you could still face a mandatory recall that removed a featured deemed to be unsafe and requiring an emergency change, even if you paid for it, until a fix could be engineered. Like, say, a self-driving automation feature. Even if someone claimed that they only bought the car for that specific feature, I'm pretty sure they would not be entitled to a full refund of the car if that feature was temporarily disabled due to a safety problem.
Indefinitely definition: for an unlimited or unspecified period of time.
as opposed to:
Definitely definition: in a definite manner; clearly.
Definitively definition: decisively and with authority; conclusively.
----------------------------
All I am saying is that this gifting ban isn't permanent or definitive. They are working through ways to bring this back (according to their posts) and are disabling, not removing. Disabling..... not removing.
The compensation in the game was not for the permanent removal of the gifting badge, but rather the temporary disabling. I don't see why that point is so lost in all this.
I do, however, think they should have provided a bit of notice, especially at the end of the AQ and AQ seasons.
This is completely ludicrous.
The original PS3 came with a feature most people didn't use (OtherOS) which was eventually taken away in a firmware update to combat piracy. Eventually this led to a class action lawsuit against Sony for taking away a feature that was advertised at the time of purchase for a lot of people whether they used it or not. I see a lot of parallels here. 300 Units is a joke of a compensation for this but no matter the amount given someone will feel it isn't enough.
Give us back the money (and I am willing to return all 850units as well), and we can all pay $30 again when kabam eventually fixes the problem.
This will be kabam putting money when the mouth is.
300 runas no es una compensación.
Espero mas runas y esquirlas de 6* y 5*
Esto es un fraude y sino toman medidas, no volveré a invertir en un juego que cambia las reglas a conveniencia, nerfea jugadores, te bajan el nivel, se laggea, etc.
Como pueden intentar compensar algo que era permanente, yo no envié regalos de resurrectores a nadie.
No hago cosas ilegales y kabam si lo hace todo el tiempo.
Me quejaré en google apps y apple de esta plataforma.
Premios de gesta un asco, jugadores de 5* inservibles, misiones imposibles, nerfeo de jugadores top cada mes, y ademas fraudes?
Por qué? Hagan atractivo lo que venden si quieren dinero, sancionen a tramposos. Pero no agregadan a sus consumidores.
Esto es un agravio que no se xompensa con 300 runas... dame 3000 mil y cristales y dusculpas por creer en las mentiras de este juego. Solo regale cristales premium y que creen a mis amigos les salio basura de 2* por 300 runas.
Quiero el reembolso de mi dinero.
2 arcas de odin 200 dlls.
Espero y exijo una respuesta y compensacion

Am I wrong? @Kabam Miike
now giving back 300 units and saying that there wont be gifting badge any more is a loot for my 30$
you either give me back the 30$ or bring back the gifting
Let me read again..... "The real world Fraud"..... Than i remembered the people that bought the PERMANENT gift badge and i finally understood what you mean 😅
Kabam. Please try to give us more warning about this sort of stuff. I can tell you from out-of-game experience (namely that I had an assignment where part of it was reliant on us going on an excursion that was planned for mere days before that part of the assignment was due) that this really sucks. Just a couple of weeks notice would be nice (or probably at least a month or so in the case of the 'no 4*s in 6.1')
Hey @Vekxs ! How are you?
It is also worth noting that both parties decided to settle this case out of court rather than continue the process, and members of the class receive settlements consistent with the costs of buying the "fat" PS3. There was no final ruling in this case.
It is extremely unlikely in my opinion that you could make any of the claims which survived dismissal under the same legal grounds that the Sony case did.
I paid for the gifting badge and that's what I should have or my money back
Now, all this doesn’t entirely relate to this situation, except that hard earned cash was spent for something that they did not get to fully enjoy the use of as originally promised, and there was nothing the customer could do about it.
As well as it being an interesting story, and a welcome relief from drone of replies up here.
They may be within their legal confines to remove from us gifting privileges due to the widespread plague in America and the world of "Legalese" and Rich People Thinking,
but we live in a democracy g-dam-mit,
and have a right to express when we feel wronged.
i do not expect my money back but I do not think actions such as these should just be accepted as The Way of the World. Capitalism and the Legal System are the Ways of the World, but that doesn't mean they are without flaws.
They took your money and gave you units. That's what you paid for. They temporarily removed a gifting badge from everyone to address an exploit. This item legally has no value. If you claim it has value you are violating the TOS and EULA of the game, which stipulate that you agree no item in the game has monetary value. If you violate the terms of service of the game, you no longer have the legal right to play the game. You would then be guilty of stealing service from an online service provider.
"But I paid for the badge, not the units? There was no other way to get the badge, so I paid for the badge!" No, you didn't, because Kabam didn't offer the badge for sale. You have no legal way to demand Kabam sell it, and you have no legal way to force Kabam to state that the badge was for sale and the units were free in that purchase.
But don't take my word for it. I encourage everyone who thinks otherwise to find and hire legal counsel. Push as hard as you can, spend as much money as you have, try real hard to at least make it past dismissal with prejudice. If you can at least make it past summary judgment, I can then point to your lawsuit as an example of how these suits fail in actual court. The problem is most don't make it far enough to be good examples of how they fail. I will probably be playing online games for decades to come, and it would be nice to have an example with some finality to it that isn't written in Chinese.
