I think that players who used the bug shouldnt be punished but rewards have to be stripped. I mean, there were 2% T5CC crystals in there. A player could have easily got a full T5CC by spamming the quest

That's actually incorrect. Luckily, the 2% T5CC crystals weren't available today as they required 2 keycards to get into.

As you can see here in Cat Murdock's fabulous diagram of the treasure island map, 2% T5CC crystals are NOT accessible atm because they are locked behind 2 keycards. They will be available tomorrow for people who saved their first keycard. Therefore, your argument is invalid. The most valuable reward in here, which is obviously the 2% T5CC crystal, has NOT been exploited. This is a good thing because it does not unfairly increase anyone's prestige.

Thats good. Still, there are some crazy good rewards like the platpool unit farm or 1000 6 star shards

Pretty crazy honestly how this kind of error can happen. Wouldnt it be flagged out upon 1 play test by the dev team?

worth it if you went for the 1000 6 star shards/7500 5 star shards route. I think out of all the paths, this one and the 5 star awakening are the most crazy.

I mean people would have farmed like maybe 15-20k 6 star shards and 150-200k 5 star shards. Thats better than the appreciation calendar

I did the platpool thing 2 or 3 times and didn’t even get platpool so it wasn’t worth it

Well thank god! Wow, imagine if someone would have gotten 10% of a CC... totally game breaking! May as well just shut down the whole game.

Get real people!

If they allow rewards to stay, even with a temporary ban, they are signaling to all that the rewards far outweigh the risks and it’s open season to exploit any errors, open season on cheating it seems.

How long has it been down lmao

It would be really interesting if there were any accountability at Kabam. They screw something up that actually benefits players and it’s got to be taken down and fixed right away; Something that hurts us, we end up waiting days and days for it to be fixed and then we wait longer for compensation.

How about they just say, ‘we screwed up because we’re incompetent fools, so go ahead and take advantage of it.’

No way should anyone have rewards taken away or get banned. I worked all day and didn’t get to do even one run, but people who did should be commended for seeing an opportunity and taking it.

Some people have gotten upwards of 19 Awakening gems apparently. Obviously it can't be left alone.
Seriously though, 19 ag? That's definitely not fair to other players who didn't know there was a bug
Normally I say it's not that big of a deal, but if that is true, that's quite extreme.
Exactly, 19 gems. That's over a year's worth of it. I'm pretty sure it's an outlier but I do hope kabam fix it somehow.

I also know of someone who ran the 1000 6* path 5 times, and has pulled a champ from it.

I have an honest question for you. If you had the chance, would you be saints or get free stuff because of a mistake and defend your position?

I went onto YouTube to see some of the new Cav difficulty while playing it. Someone commenting on Lagacy video that he farmed 33 AGs, you think that sort of thing should just be let go and left as is? You can't be serious 😂

I think he meant that they should just leave the bug on so that everyone can farm as much as they want.

Regardless of who it is, that should be removed at the very least. 33 AGs is extreme.

Wait didn't you say on like the first page you did it and got plat pool and close to 1k units.

No platpool but I have 7 pieces just missing one lol

it was someone commenting not Lagacy. That's the point, these extra rewards should all be removed.

I would understand a certain amount as a gesture of error. Perhaps 3 rounds. Before anyone suggests such, I only ran it once. I could simply understand some allowance. 33 runs is insane.

If it’s an egregious exploit a ban should be considered. This game has been out for over 5 years, people know how quests and side events work. You don’t get unlimited rewards, it was an obvious bug and an obvious exploit to run it multiple times. 2 or 3 is one thing, but doing more than that and knowing it’s against TOS is another.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, long time players should know the rules and either abide by then or face consequences.

I didn’t make a single run, I was at busy at work, but I read the line chatter about it and knew it would be down quickly. Those who spammed runs did it knowing there was a short window to do it in as well. That’s a blatant exploit. A message needs to be sent, if you try to scam the system be prepared for the consequences.

This kind of behavior is why we lost gifting and treasuries and why people have negative units. The game was becoming imbalanced because of fraud and changes had to be made.
