We are still looking into the issue with Alliance Quest rewards. If we have any additional information we'll be sure to update everyone here.
Sooo...don’t claim? Don’t open? Don’t use? What about those who just claimed and popped without thinking, especially since they may have been confused and figured this to be a makeup for something?
What’s your advice for anyone who has gotten something?
@Kabam Lyra I think that if people received extra rewards per Kabam's fault and they claimed and popped, there should be no adverse action taken on those players including:
- no bans or other adverse action - no shorting them on the next rewards payout
Not all players watch these forums and if y'all made a mistake, we should not be penalized in any way.
I would also suggest if this is an issue that could create problems for players, it might be a good idea to move the thread to General Discussion—I don’t think a lot of people go straight to the Bugs page when they hop on the forums, even if it is a Bug.
Maybe this is just sneaky sneaky kabam. They wanted to do something nice, but they didn't want us to know that they're actually nice.
Joke aside, I don't think many people really hesitated to claim these multiple rewards. I surely didn't. Reeled them in as if they were my personal white whale. Not with evil intentions of course. I was simply happy to see them, because stuff is nice. But I guess it's pretty clear that this was not intentional from kabams side.
Should we really expect a penalty, though? For example by taking something away from us or by cutting us down on the next few rewards? I don't really think so. The tantrum would be unimaginable.
The real sad thing about this really seems to be that some or even many players did not receive anything (yet) let alone something on top of that. Giving the extra rewards to everyone else would be the fastest and easiest solution, I suppose.
Yeah is there going to be any compensation for those who did not receive the multiple rewards. I know some who received it as much as 4 times. I only got the 1 time. Will there be a way to balance this in any way.
My ign is Alucardza part of the alliance [KPCK] I weren’t too sure at first of it but now I’m sure that I’m getting multiple aq rewards (rank rewards). I don’t have any photo evidence and I’m a person that opens their crystal immediately. I was given 3 aq ranked rewards in the past 4 days includding today
I not too sure if this is the same case for all but it is for some, I can’t say whether this is a good or bad thing nor do I want to take advantage of it as it is unfair.
I only got it one time because I went back to my alliance after I received my rewards. If I had known it was being given multiple times, I would have waited. I hope they give others what they missed out on. They shouldn't take it away from those who received them multiple times but just balance it out.

I agree. But I’m guessing you weren’t around for some of the other instances over the past few years where additional reward payouts were deemed “exploits.” Some were obvious, others not as much.
I’m not knocking what were defensible reasons for calling them exploits, just noting that the reason some feel like they need to check is that they were around back then.
With that said, 5 hours later and no response to this thread and I opened them.

Check your stash. I got the first two from mail and the third by the stash when I noticed that I've one unclaimed reward but no mail.
Some people really need to learn when to keep their freaking mouths shut. Something finally works in the favor of the players and these knuckleheads run straight to the forum with it.
