Honestly it was better to keep the bundle that way (10k instead of 1k) since 6 stars are more available now than before and spring cleaning should bring some excitement towards it.
We need more excitement for this kind of stores in this game. Since 7 stars are coming in two weeks 6 stars should be made more available for higher progressing players so you can look forward to progressing that high
Because I have no other way of fighting back, I went into the Store and granted them a 1* review. I suggest others who feel this way do the same. If they go under 4* they might start paying attention.
Guys. This post is full of salt. Did they mess up? Yes. But even if 10% of the whole player base got a couple extra 6* champs. Just be happy for them. They saw a great offer, they got it. If you looked into the store right away you would have seen it aswell and got it. Jealousy is a very very poor trait to have. You`ll get lucky next time.

You know for sure it's 10%???? I'm not being jealous or being hateful towards those who got it...just pointing out that ultimately it's not fair and the other "90%" were cheated...basically due to Kabams unethical business solution to their own screw up.
Literally no one thinking about the 7* Shards, me getting the bundle would turn into maybe 12 to 15 dupes, so between 3.300 and 4,125 7* shards, here are the bundles for Paragon that contain those shards:
So instead of those Abyss Nexus, imagine those 200k 6* Shards, even for Paragon is a very very good offer, I cant imagine for TB, right now there are TB players that have more 7* shards than Paragons, and its a statement that Im very sure about, so how this is fair for everybody?
I have something around 400k bubbles, I would very very happily use some of those in that offer, that would be enough to get the second 7* Champ when they release it.
The fact that this is such an impactful bug for some players means that you have to either get back what those players got, or let the rest of the player base be able to buy that same bundles, those two are the fair and right decissions, I would prefer the second one so players dont get affected negatively
This is highly unfair kabam I've been a moderate spender on refreshing the daily 20 units card every month and that was usually all the spending I did in a month, seeing this offer the original way It was made me very happy has getting all of it would give me at least 15 chances at getting Cassie Lang from next featured so I bought the pass and a 7 dollar day extension thingy I did this when the offers went live and I was in school back then I got back home open the game and see the offers one, how kabam l how and why Luke you said in your livestream 6 star shards have become more plentiful what difference does the 10k shards make, paragon players get Sig stones which I would take over the 10% t5 cc crystal any day, maybe I should have been impulsive like the people who bought it immediately they saw it this really sucks kabam hope you revert the offer back to what it is to make this fair.
Cheaper gas isn’t gonna bring down the integrity of the entire game. People work very hard to get 6*s, and some people getting 20 free ones and a bunch of 7* shards makes people have a huge advantage over those that didn’t. Battlegrounds will be harder, war defenders will be better, and people will have 7*s that wasn’t even close to having enough shards. How is that balanced?
When gas stations mistakenly set a pump price at pennies instead of dollars, I cheer for the people who were able to get the hook up. I don’t go into the store asking to see the manager and demanding that I get the same price once the correction has been made.
To each their own though.
Very, very big assumption on your part. You don't know how they spent those shards and what pulls they got. Y'all living in fantasy land.
When you spend years of your time and money on a game, you’d expect situations to be handled better than they are. Either you took advantage of the glitch so your happy or your high enough player where 20 6*s wouldn’t matter.. either way if your not negatively affected from it, that’s great, but your opinion is irrelevant. I’m speaking for the people that could have grown their accounts by a long shot but chose not to because that’s what kabam has stated countless times to do or else get banned
That’s dramatic at best. BGs and AW defense will be minimally impacted unless you think everybody who bought those bundles has a ton of resources just laying around to rank twenty new defenders up.
If you’ve been playing this game for five years and STILL haven’t reached paragon by now, the newly acquired champs in somebody else’s roster are the least of your concerns.
You’re borderline begging on the forums. It’s weird bruh. Do better.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope y’all’s cyber pan handling pays off. If Kabam hooked y’all up the same way the others benefited, I’d congratulate y’all too. I find the game to be more enjoyable when I can be happy for somebody’s else’s gain.
And yes, I am at a point in the game where twenty 6* crystals isn’t gonna be a game changer for my account.
But let’s be real. You’re calling this the worst thing Kabam has ever done after the player community had to navigate though roughly two years of input bugs. Followed by the 3.2.6 revive nerf.
Even your thumbs knew that was cap as you were typing it.
I never said it was the worst thing they’ve done, I said it was the worst decision they’ve made. Unless they were “deciding” to leave the input issues bad lol

You think this is worse than the 12.0 update?
That's true. Every time you think they've made the worst decision ever on something they find a way to outdo themselves.
Small number. Only like what a few hundred thousand players... Thronebreaker and higher players should be given access to this. Just put a cap on it like you did at 10. Make it fair. Those who got that deal, it was a game changer for them. I have to watch my ali mate take a huge leap and get away with it while I can't now.
I respectfully disagree that it was a game changer. I'm a seasoned player, Thronebreaker but not far from Paragon and I'm one of those who bought a number of bundles. I got exactly 2 new champs - Cull Obsidian and Symbiote Spidey - and a whole bunch of dupes for some 7* shards and ISO. I gained negligible advantage versus someone who couldn't access the deal.
You can't seriously use RNG as an example of why it WASN'T impactful.
FOR YOU.
Someone else opened 10 6* crystals and got them AMAZING pulls and will progress them SIGNIFICANTLY in the contest. Which is great for them! But when all the rest of us could only open up ONE 6*, from the same amount of resources spent. Yeah, that's not good.
The fact that it was a bug, it was live for near an hour, but only those who saw it - and importantly, had access to it (player level) - were able to take advantage of it, doesn't create a fairness in an "already unfair" game (the RNG aspect, which is only heightened in this scenario).
If possible (the reality is anything *is* possible with Kabam for this game, they have proven time and time again with the weirdest and most specific issues in the past), they should be distributing Bobble's to all the other players, to help "cushion" the difference. Nothing will quite equate those who "took advantage" of this error. Nor does I think anyone to expect it to.
But kabam screwed up, big time, and they need to level the playing field.
Y'all complain if Kabam doesn't to "pro player" things and then complain when they do "pro player" things. Make up your mind.
This is a pro player move? That's hilarious, pro player moves don't affect only a small group of summoners, they affect us all. Get a grip lad
I hope Kabam speaks out on Monday, I remember a random Portal type SQ where due to an exploit, Kabam gave everybody a "compensation" so there werent people ahead of other players cause of that, why not this time?
I bought the 49.99 package and plat pass. I did not buy the bundle 1 offer KNOWING it was an error on kabam’s part. This does not seem fair to those of us players that are throne breaker and did not partake in an obvious error. You aloud several people to get up to 200k 6* shards but those of us who knew it was an error and did not buy it get stiffed? That doesn’t make sense to me. More often than not anything released is bugged at first. It doesn’t take a genius level IQ to realize kabam would never just give us 10k 6* shards for that low a pop. It was an obvious error and the fact that I did not exploit it Im being penalized. Garbage.
Yes. They're telling us that next time there's a glitch you can exploit do it without telling anyone and you might get to keep the rewards
That actually happened with Mutant Treasure Island. Some got to keep 10 and even more 5* awakening gems.
Completely different. We knew we weren't supposed to run that quest in that manner. People didn't know what the offers were before they released them on Friday. Not the same at all.
Tbh, if it was a genuine mistake they wouldn't tell I mean let's face it they won't just go out and say oops we did a mistake here is a compensation of reverting the bundle or like 200k baubles, they will have to hide it even tho it hurts them too, and I still go with it being unfair ofc now bg and aw is gonna be much harder some of the people who took advantage of that offer were late TB level players so they will most certainly rank up the ones they got from good champs let alone the dupes for 7* shards, that situation which will impact unfairly the bg and aw defense even smaller accounts early stages in bgs now will be filled with 6* users who barely had enough to run a quest and do aq, so ye hopefully everything turns out well and just a confirmation that they messed up so it doesn't feel unfair even if it didn't have a compensation a genuine apology letter for all those who got massively shafted from their mistake will make them even me feel better not regret exploiting it when they had the chance to or be on the look out for them to abuse further bugs and glitches.

It doesnt matter since the result is the same
Exactly. Seems like it's pretty hard to remove extra rewards from players accounts. Maybe almost impossible to track it down. IMO that's why they banned players after MTI exploit. Tried to track down and remove extra rewards.

They banned players because they knew the quest was broken and they ran it tons of times. It would be the same if they sent an in-game/forum message listing what the rewards were and it specifically stated that this bundle was 1k and then upon release, it was 10k and people took advantage of it.
These situations are not the same.
You want them to fix bugs.
You want them to fix input issues.
You want them to stop modders.
You want them to do all these things and now, you want them to probably spend weeks if not longer combing through data to find out what summoners got the extra shards, what champs they pulled, reverse any rank-ups that happened, reverse any resources used like rank up gems or awakening gems, refund any currency used, and re-issue the currency so they buy the proper deal.
Kabam's solution was the quickest and easiest way to deal with it. Don't worry, in a few weeks you'll find something else to be mad at.

I already explained it before, they did not fix it, they just let it slide.
Anything that gives advantage to an amount of players due to a bug, must be either fixed, compensated or enabled for everybody.
And all the things that you say that "We want them to do" is what they HAVE to do, because it is part of their job.
You talking like people that act rude like "Oh my god, all this consumers want me to do my job right? No way"
You are getting paid for it, thats what you have to do, its quite simple.

That was something that Players knew was bugged, and they exploited it egregiously. Some may have known this was bugged, some may have not until they realized. There's grey area. If memory serves, MTI also amounted to millions of Shards for some, over time. There's a difference between purchasing within the limit, and knowingly taking advantage of an open door.
Kabam you need to make this right for anyone who is TB who did not exploit that offer. Can you not for once reward us honest players who don’t try to exploit your errors? Why not reward us honest players who spend real time and money and don’t try to exploit you every time you drop the ball. I’ve played for 8 years and I’m honestly at my wits end with how unfair you guys are about this stuff. This will cause imbalance in war and BG. More people got it than you’re letting on. But since the issue is too hard to fix, reward the rest of us who actually did not exploit your bug. Be fair. For once. I get mistakes happen, but I do expect the resolution to be fair for everyone. And this is not.

Yes, but they allowed to keep rewards then and again now. Then they at least said that rewards will be removed and maybe something they really removed but now they're saying keep them!

Lol, according to common sense, seems like its something that you dont have clearly

Jealousy is a very very poor trait to have.
You`ll get lucky next time.
So instead of those Abyss Nexus, imagine those 200k 6* Shards, even for Paragon is a very very good offer, I cant imagine for TB, right now there are TB players that have more 7* shards than Paragons, and its a statement that Im very sure about, so how this is fair for everybody?

-You must be one of the ones who got away with the exploit considering your defending such an obvious drop of the ball.
