Addressing Mythic Crystal Issue (1250 Crystals instead of Shards)

I have no clue what happened but I just know it’s a right mess

Comments

It is. It is fair.
Why I did the work for them
Anyone thinking for about 5 seconds would know that 340 crystals couldn’t be a legitimate reward for such little effort. There was a bug, Kabam is correcting that bug. You worked for 340 shards, not for 340 crystals.

I didn’t know . Will I get in trouble

To all you hoping I get banned, I won’t name names (Chatterofforums) I hope you have a bad night.
Nah he right though. But nobody deserves a ban really, except kabams peasants

It ain’t my fault they messed up

Armed07

Atleast you got the other 910

Since they took them away, no, you will not. If you opened any of them they will also be taking back anything you got, but if you didn’t touch any of them then you’re good to press on as normal.
Edit: this is assuming you started at 340 and not more.

Started at 1250

ChiliDog

This is a troll, right?

You opened like 910 of them and had that many left out if 1250? Or was there a 340 reward also?

I'm very sorry this happened to you. (That's sarcasm by the way...)

Prepare to have a whole lot taken away, to include access to your account for a while.

Well then…I can’t say for certain. At a minimum, every single thing that you got from those 910 crystals, and any other crystals that you opened from those shards, will be removed. But that is such a significant quantity that then possibility (though not guaranteed) of a ban may be on the table. There was no reason to believe that 1,250 crystals was supposed to actually be the reward. It’s so egregious a mistake that you can’t just play innocent like you didn’t know it was a problem. Action will be taken. All you have left is hope that they will be able to effectively remove everything that you shouldn’t have gotten.

I’m going to stop replying because of the negativity. It isn’t good for my mental health. I hope they let me keep the rewards tho.

willemadnnel117

Brah are you for real? Did you expect everyone would go "aye you deserve that 1250 crystals for the few fights you did" it was something like 10 fights. They will never let us keep rewards like that. Anything less; maybe. But can you imagine a how people would rocket their accounts with that?

You are the one who made a post that you only got to open over 900 crystals that you never should have got and didn't get to open the other 340 that you never should of had and you expected sympathy?!?!

I don't think you're in a place that's good already if you truly think you were entitled to 1250 mythic crystals fo practically 0 effort. Enjoy the loss of resources and your account ban

RoddyRodster77

has anyone tried claiming those since there wasn’t a picture? kinda wanna know before i claim it.

It’s not negative to learn that you are wrong. That is part of life. You’re going to be wrong at some point and you should be grateful that there are people out there that are willing to help you see where you are. Mental health isn’t some crutch you can use to bow out whenever you don’t like what’s going on. There are people out there with legitimate mental health issues that you (and many others in our world) are trivializing by crying wolf every time you react like this. Here are the facts - you did something wrong (whether you agree or not), the powers that be are going to correct it and you have no choice but to live with the result. That’s not negative just because you don’t like it.

They are not going to let you keep the rewards. They will be taken and you will have to live with it.

I appreciate what you’re saying but I didn’t know I was doing anything wrong. When I went to forums for help I was attacked and people started to tell me I’m going to get banned. It scared me because my account is years old and I love this game. I thought the community was more helpful and positive so it did make me sad.

I never asked for sympathy. I asked a question and then made it public that I was sad with the responses and rudeness of others.

It's fair if you didn't know and I apologize, but you gotta check the rest of the forums before making a public post demanding that Kabam give you your stuff back. There are so many threads dedicated to this problem, it would've been very easy to figure out what happened.

klobberintyme

I had 340 mythic crystals and Kabam took them away. I did the side event for those crystals and I don’t think it’s fair for them to take them away without warning.

Also, I apologize for the short/to-the-point messages. Jax is on a well-deserved break, and I am running around trying to do a lot right now, but keeping up communications is very important, especially when there are bugs that need to be addressed.

The only real winner here is Jax for a well timed vacation - not being around for this weeks major league messes.

Wait until he sees what happened in his absence.

These accounts should just be deleted if they can't be corrected. They knew it was wrong
Not as wrong as the bug being there to begin with. Imagine having a million dollars on your doorstep due to a mailing error. Its life changing for you, but then police show up later arresting you, and confiscating the million dollars or anything you’ve purchased with it. Now you’re just in jail.
You'd have to be incredibly stupid to spend money that you know doesn't belong to you (especially such a high amount), any person with three brain cells would try to give it back and find an actual solution. What were you even thinking when you came up with this example my guy? Lol
Also look how many people opened the crystals. Apparently everyone was just dumb for getting suckered by kabam.
You're saying anyone who knows how to tie their shoelaces would see 1.2k mythic crystals and think "yep this is definitely intended, nothing will happen if I open them".
*Common sense has left the chat* is what you're trying to say then?
You seem to be personally affected by this situation. I am here to support you my friend. We all have tough times, i know it can be emotional seeing players on a mobile video game getting rewards that you’re not getting. But its ok, its gonna get reverted. Im here for you if things get worse.
I didn't expect much from a guy who would spend a million dollars (that didn't belong to him) and then cry if he got thrown into jail but somehow I'm surprised this is the best comeback you were able to come up with since you have no counter arguments whatsoever. Sad.
What is there to argue? You took what i said personally which is your choice, but i will not stoop down to that level because its not that serious. I guess what im trying to say is that you hold no relevance to me and your opinion is invalidated is all. Im sorry i didnt put much of a fight, but i will bow down gracefully to help you fulfill your fantasy
Nothing here was taken personally. You made a dumb comparison as if the people who opened the crystals didn't know any better, they did lol others also pointed out what you said makes no sense.

From what i can tell, you went straight to insults

Reset the progress offer something like 3k 7* shards across the board or something like that

No one is arguing that players who claimed the rewards should get banned. That's not an exploitive behavior. But actually opening the crystals is both exploitive and potentially bannable behavior, and yes this also happens in the real world. Most states in the US do not have finders keepers laws. If you do not take reasonable steps to locate the owner of found property you could be in violation of the law. Moreover the situation you're describing is even more cut and dried: if a million dollars shows up on your doorstep due to "a mailing error" then you wouldn't be the addressee. Spending that money would be a crime in almost every state in the US (and in most other jurisdictions as well), and subject you to both civil and criminal penalties. You're supposed to know better, and saying "wasn't my error so too bad" in court is unlikely to be considered a reasonable defense.

You can't be responsible for other people's errors, so it is not a crime to receive a million dollars through no fault of your own. But you are not legally allowed to exploit other people's errors just because they are other people's errors: that can and often is a crime. It would be better if people learned such life lessons in the context of a video game first, before they find themselves just in jail, wondering why their internet logic didn't help them.
Just as an aside, opening US mail when you are not the addressee is federal crime

Good thing i dont live un the US i mean It is still a crime here but its much less likely to get US mail over here

Wow i have been gone for a while. Yeah this is a big mess
