**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

End of conversation. I hate talking to walls. Theres no use talking to conspiracy theorists as you can't see past your nose.
Clause 22 of the TOs states that they will inform us of changes. They have failed to do so. Simple as that.
No conspiracy.
Did you read my reddit post?
If not you have no right to comment on it.
If you did you will understand.
And as for the topic at hand.
I do not like the way kabam have handled this situation and i am entitled to say so.
Not create 100 alternate accounts, let free Units build up in there just by logging in once a day (without playing at all in them), and then Gift a whole bunch of items to your main account from all of those others.
And each person in alliance should be responsible for themselves, if they die in AQ-AW it is up to themselves to play enough other aspects in game to have Units enough to buy their own Revives and Heals.
Units are not going to cut it.
But yes you are totally right...
It would be wrong but right at the same time...
And as far as gifting alliance memebers potions is fair. As one member not being able to heal can affect the rewards of 29 others.

If you have problems with some individuals who are cheating it is your responsibility to catch them and sort it out. But why innocent people like me have to suffer ! First of all I didn't spend units for Gift Badge to be compensated with units I spent real money for it and I am expecting real money back or with a simple words we as a buyers have rights! And with your act you breaking the law! As a example imagine that you buy from the shop TV and the producer find out after 3 years that there is manufacture problem with it and they come in your home take the TV back and as a compensation they giving you aerial vouchers! I am personally not happy with your decision and I am not going to claim your proposed unit! Also I am very concerned about any purchases in the future and I hope that other people will support my opinion!
Do the right thing Kabam!
1) this is kabams house.....they make the rules
2) dont spend your money on a game
ENDGAME
The 300 units is for compensation and you got your $29.99 worth of units when you bought the package.
Kabam is protected by their ToS in this instance so no, they aren't breaking the law. If you are going to throw those accusations around, know the law before quoting the law.
To me, they are doing this at the behest of Google and Apple while they figure out a way to handle this through the justice system. It seems like the "bare minimum" because we can't see behind the scenes. Keep in mind, the community over reacts on just about every issue regardless of how big or small. Most of the failed expectations come from people who don't know what they are talking about (not saying that's you, you're normally level headed) and react without thinking.
Personally, I'd rather give it some time before making any other assumptions. Kabam isn't perfect, I wasn't happy about 12.0, I tend to agree they do more and more to get people to spend and I spend a lot but I also think a lot of this frustration is misplaced and to early.
I thought to myself, how can Kabam justify compensating us with only 300 units for taking the gifting badge away. Yes, it was an add on to a certain deal. But still, the only reason i bought the deal was for the gifting badge, therefore the units was the add-on. I should be compensated for at least the full value of the deal, either in real world money or the full amount of units from that deal.
But if you actually think rationally about it, one cannot justify that thought process. If you buy something with a "free" item attached to it, you cannot claim the full value of the original deal if the "free" item is faulty or has to be returned. You will get compensated for the free item. If players want a full refund for the value that they initially paid to get the gifting badge, they would have to return the units that came along with the deal as well. The simple fact is that everyone has received 300 free units, so in truth most people paid 30$ for 1,150 units. That then is what Kabam values the gifting badge at (300 units). And that decision is fully up to them. Whether a player values it more is irrelevant.
So whether the reason you got the deal was just for the gifting badge or not, is irrelevant. We have been compensated for it. The fact is there is a flaw with the gifting badge/gifting process. Kabam has decided to take action to rectify the problem (which so many players scream for on a daily basis when certain players are getting an unfair advantage) by "recalling" everyone's gifting badges, until the issue is resolved. If you feel hard done by this action and that is unfair because you are innocent, then that is your opinion (and yes it does suck). It still does not change the fact that Kabam had to take action to stop illegal behavior. It was never stated that the gifting badge will be gone forever. The post said that the plan is to return the gifting system once the issues have been resolved. How they go about it, still needs to be clarified by Kabam. But there is no point in screaming bloody murder until Kabam actually officially states that it will be gone forever.
When they return the gifting badge (if they do it) will we have to pay $30 USD again or will it be given to us for free?
Another way of asking it is. Are the 300 units supposed to compensate the temporary removal of the gifting badge (for the inconvenience) or is the removal permanent and when they allow it back will we have to pay again ?
Anybody know ?
The company I work for gives us bonuses based on income we generate. Let’s say we generated a million in last month, 2 weeks in this month we get our bonus. After paying us that, the accountants find that 50% of the income we received was charged back, so instead of the million, we end up with $500k. Now the company is out of money as it can’t take back out bonuses, as well as lost revenue that was needed for profit and overhead. It wouldn’t take long for the company to go under in a case like this.
We got back some extra units, kabam took action to prevent fraud that had real world implications on itself and others, and everyone is up in arms about it. It sucks that we can’t use our gifting badges anymore, but it’s an easy trade off to stop widespread fraud and the damage that causes. We may even see price drops since they won’t have to jack up prices as a way to offset losses by fraud, who knows.
They know how much those gifting badges meant for the legit players, and we can expect them to come up with a solution, just not overnight. They can’t rush it and end up having to repeat the suspension again.
