AQ Bracket Issue [Resolved: Compensation Given]

I understand quite well what is going on, I just don’t agree with certain points. It’s as simple as that.
Just because you claim it, doesn't make it true. You do that a lot: claim people are misunderstanding your words when the plain text of your words means only one thing.
This is doubly annoying when I am not claiming you meant anything at all. I addressed your *actions* not your *statements*. You chose not to attempt to state your interpretation of Kabam's statements. No matter what your statements imply about your reasoning why is irrelevant: for whatever reason you were unwilling to be held accountable for that clarification, which means your claim to certainty is invalid. It doesn't matter what you meant to say about your excuse why. Your actions judge your sincerity.
Twist it however you want, what I said is they need to address the fact that they changed the way default map settings work for players who have never been in anything other than expert tier. We have grown accostumed to starting aq and have it start the last map we completed. There is nothing careless about doing what has always been the status quo. What I want is for them to acknowledge this issue and the problems caused by the mistakes they made which affected numerous allies.
If you accidentally use units to donate chips or gold, you can send a ticket and have that reversed. If you click start as usual there is no recourse and you get screwed. What their solution should be is to look at alliance history and set rewards based on past performance, not base them off a glitch of their creation.
Then there's no excuse for throwing the title of the thread in @JRock808 's face. Anyone following the conversation would know that no one is discussing the actual investigation of the bracket issue per se now, because that investigation is now closed and everyone knows what basically happened there. The discussion is focused on Kabam's response to the broken bracket week, and whether their response is adequate. The thread title would be irrelevant to @JRock808 's concerns.
If the comment you threw back at @Kpatrix about being “careless” is any indication, I’m convinced you don’t.
The AQ system operates essentially the same week in and week out, except in weeks like this one where the game team completely screws it up. The AQ errors this week are entirely of Kabam’s making—even the game team seems to think so. It isn’t a cry for compensation to argue that AQ rankings and brackets should be based on the most recent AQ week that was run correctly instead of one rife with problems and miscommunication.

lol, welcome to the land of lip service in lieu of actual service.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
Nope wrong. It was stated that it was all open. And after multiple asks towards the mods about clarification it fell on deaf ears. So the community did what was best.
Once again you side with the overlord attitude against the community. You have lost all validation.
Kabam Mods are to blame for this fiasco. Any other thought is ignorant and wrong and should be taken as such.
Mods you need to fix this issue YOU created.
Really. I find that hard to believe. Actually I don’t find it hard. I don’t believe anything you say.
You’ve cried wolf too many times to ever have validity.
If they didn't know what course of action they were going to take then obviously it was miscommunication. They could have told us to keep running our normal maps to play it safe. They could have said we don't know what we are going to do yet and left it at that. They could have clarified after pages of posts asking for clarification. Given how many people were confused or made the wrong decision based on that communication, by freaking definition it was miscommunication and miscommunication which could have been fixed with one simple reply. So while you are free to disagree, you are objectively wrong. You may want to look up the definition of miscommunication.
There's a big difference between miscommunication and having nothing else to say.
It wasn't 2 days in silence. They said they're investigating it and they would give updates when they had more information to share. There wasn't any information to share. Not that hard to understand.
Miscommunication is failure to communicate adequately. It's not just false information. Do you really think that Kabam Zibit's post was adequate? The fact that so many people made the wrong decision based on it argues otherwise. Having nothing else to say when your customers are asking for clarification regarding what you meant is also inadequate. This reminds me of the proc discussion. You take up an indefensible position and then when it's pointed out you double down. No matter how you spin it, alliances didn't run maps 2 and 3 because Kabam communicated adequately.
It was 2 days of silence regarding clarification of the statement. That didn't require new information from the game team. Not that hard to understand.
Because of an assumption made from sheer stupidity in the face of clear communication, or an assumption made in light of inadequate communication, miscommunication if you will, which was never clarified? You know the answer you just can't bring yourself to admit it. Proper communication doesn't lead to so many false assumptions.
Right. It's always the fault of the game that people make choices based on assumptions.
-.-
Come on man. Ambiguity is a form of miscommunication. If they had said, "in the meantime run AQ as you normally would" there would be no discussion. If they had made the original statement and then responded to dozens of clarification requests with "run it as per usual" there would be no discussion. "Feel free to run it if you so choose" is not adequate. There was no need for people to assume anything if proper communication had been made. There is really no debate here. We received communication which caused a lot of confusion. That's what miscommunication is. For the record, do you @GroundedWisdom believe that Kabam Zibit adequately communicated that we should run AQ as usual?
Or the fault of the game creators for setting a precedent with previous times and going against it, without communicating a difference. The literal definition of a miscommunication, if we don’t follow patterns of behavior then it would be impossible to do anything without direct instruction. Kabam had previously applied the previous weeks ranks when this kind of thing happened, this time they didn’t and failed to communicate the change leading to incorrect maps being started. Not hard to follow the logic there.
Alright, this is relentless. Time to be blunt.
Who told people it didn't count? Who said to run lower Maps? Who said it was optional and the Rewards don't matter? No one. They said feel free to play if you want. All this is turning into is working a bloody angle over a comment, just because people assumed it didn't matter. No one said it doesn't count, and they shouldn't have to explain in great detail what you should and should not run, when they didn't even likely know how they were going to address it at the time. How can the Mod clarify if they don't know what is going to happen or not? In fact, there have been other times where they told people to feel free, and they played as normal. What people are really upset about is they won't get Top Rewards. Only they didn't play Top Maps. They're getting what they did. Plus ALL Milestones, plus the Milestones they're getting now. That's about as fair as it gets. Not to mention it will be Ranked and scaled according to what people put up. Peace out.
Answer the question. Stop obfuscating. "How can the Mod clarify if they don't know what is going to happen or not?" What the hell? Pages of posts asking for clarification of WHAT HE MEANT by that statement. That doesn't require more information. Time to be blunt. Answer the question I asked you.
