I am no one's lap dog. I'm trying to offer other perspectives.
That's just not true at all. I've never said the words "Git gud.". Nor have I taken a stance either way with MD. I said it was working as it was intended, but I never got that involved with it. I took part in the Beta and gave feedback impartially, and never commented on it until after the change was confirmed.
Drax was a frame rate issue. I've reiterated that all along, and so have they. They've said it for months now. It wasn't intended design, it was a framerate side-effect that didnt occur on all devices. That has been upfront long before they fixed it.
I don't know what you're talking about with Blade and Sparky.
I'm not for or against reversal. They chose to let people keep them as-is. Their reasons I don't know. What I'm talking about is the dramatics about the overall effect of letting them keep it, and the fact that they can't determine who just did the Quest honestly and who knew it was bugged. You can't assume everyone knew and therefore exploited it. It was fixed quickly enough. Could they Derank everyone? I'm sure it's possible. Time-consuming maybe. There was a glitch and they opted to let people keep them as they used them. At least thus far. It was a glitch. Not a platform for Social Injustice.
1. Kabam acknowledges the bug and fixes it.
2. Kabam reverses champs ranked due to the bug and returns resources or not. Really their call and I don't care either way.
3. Call it a day and we all move on.
Stop taking the bait.
That’s the precedent they set. It’s strange that they did the complete opposite this time.
Assuming they just didn’t want to work the weekend and figured this would be easier.
Having a different view is not spamming. People don't always have to agree. I can register a view just like anyone else. Just because I'm not as bothered by it doesn't mean I shouldn't comment.
So then new quastion this has happened in the past plenty of times and kabam has banned people for this exact reason type of thing why is it fair that they got banned for doing this exact type of behavior and these guys dont
This is screaming favoritism
There are a lot of assumptions, hyperbole, missrepresentation and bad analogies in this thread, which I’m guessing is coming from emotions due to t2a being a coveted resource; although this could also be driven by certain players trying to engineer war seasons by disadvantaging others; something we’ve seen done in the past with falsified line conversations and the posts surronding them. This doesn’t strengthen arguements or lend credence to points made, it weakens them and in some cases completely negates them.
1) “They knew they were exploiting.” Sans being a mind reader that’s an unfounded assertion. While some knew it is unreasonable to assume all knew. It is not unreasonable for people to be ignorant of who the gem was intended for. Knowing what a 2015 champion is not something most people are familiar with nor is it a requirement for using an item. People could pop the crystal and then look for the blue arrow on who thier rank up options were wittout reading a single word.
You do not need to even be able to read to see this; hey I got a gem for completion of this chapter, lets see who has a blue arrow allowing a rank up from this; awesome i can now rank up these champions, don’t mind if i do. They did not question if it was meant to be and decided it was worth the resources to blast through the event spending resources/cash to get an edge in the war season and next AQ cycle.
People could’ve also only had the 4-5 gem in mind, didn’t pay any mind to the other gems and then used the gems as they were being allowed to use them when looking at thier rank up options.
Using an item in game obtained from playing is not an offense.
These scenarios possibly leave people who played the game these ways at a loss because they might not have expended the time nor resources under these conditions.
2). “It’s unfair.” Everyone had the oppritunity to blast through the event in 24 hours. If you didn’t that sucks but on the other side those who blasted through the event to obtain these rewards put in time and resources to do it for the rewards they were given. If people ran the event to obtain them as quick as possible they are now out time and effort if those rank ups are reversed; this would be taking action against someone that will actually be negative rather than give the illusion of being negative to people who didn’t experience this bug.
3) “This is analgous to past events.” Nope this is a separate event, people are not able to rerun this event for as many resources as they have the time to obtain; they are one time rewards.
This thread is like a salt and jelly sandwich which people are eating it up, ranting and raving about then coming back for more.
I’m not opposed to ranking down champions that were ranked up due to a bug, if they can even do that; the gem could’ve had a separate description but been classified as a standard gem one would obtain from act 5 or even the 3-4 gem obtained from the event itself, this leaves Kabam without a reasonable ability to determine which gems were used from act 5 or the Ultron event. But some people are making way to much out of it and abandoning reason to do so, leave the emotions out of it, this will only taint the enjoyment you derive from this game; but again for some that is what they get out of the game, an excuse to fly off the handle over spilled milk, inviting company over to share their misery and fanning the flames of mob mentality; these are often the people who ignore others (and suggest others do so as well) and by matter of course simply dismiss someone’s opinion that is contradictory to their own.
Explore chapter, get r4 gem for 2015 champ, rank up CapIW.
“I had no idea the gem was supposed to only rank up a 2015 champ! I can’t read announcements or minds.”
lets just stop for a second.
even if... and its a big even if these players didnt know it was an exploit, even if they mistakenly used it, it was a bug, things were used different to how kabam intended. for game balance and for player fairness all rewards for all players need to be the same for everything at all times. therefore rankups need to be reversed.
The bottom line is simply that players should have the same opportunities to get a set of rewards. If kabam declares that something is a bug and changes the rewards, those changes should be global. Pretty simple concept.
Lol @ spending more than 4 seconds skimming that
It's not the first time an issue that was the fault of the game was resolved and people were allowed to keep the mistaken results. I'm not aware of why it was so, but I can guess it might have something to do with accepting responsibility on their part. It might have to do with the effort it would take to reverse them as well. Not sure. It's not unheard of, though.
Yep. No one is asking for bans or punishment. Just fix it. Reverse the rank up or let us all rank up whoever we want. It’s that simple and it’s not going away.
You don't care cos it doesn't impact you although it's about an exploit. Yet you create s thread crying about someone using multiple accounts in your 1 BG silver 3 ally which is totally legit an well within the TOS.
Says it all really doesn't it, no wonder everyone thinks what you say is laughable
PS
If everyone stopped feeding the troll it might die of starvation.
By the terms of condition this is a reason to get banned.
But in this 2015 gem case, you (Kabam)
- Confirmed it was a bug.
- Some used this bug to rank up champs that weren‘t meant to use the gem on. And they knew they aren‘t allowed to use the gem on the new Champs
- So Kabam should rank these Champs down again and give the players the right gem (only to use on 2015 champs)
- These players should get banned, because they used a bug for their own benefit
But Kabam does nothing.
So, what are you (Kabam) doing in the future, if I would use a bug for my own benefit
—> You wouldn‘t be able to bann me, and you can’t take back the gifts because you didn‘t in this 2015 gem case
