**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

A) doesn't laugh out loud
actually takes the case
And please don’t use the “the gifting badge had no value” angle...that was the only way to get that badge outside of waiting for the seasonal temp handout
**edit: I’m surprised that took so long to approve. Apologies on the double-post**
Can we have a candid discussion? We all know what prompted this. It’s all over Reddit and other places. Now while you can’t directly reply to that aspect of it, can you address a few key and worrisome points?
1) Why now? Why not after AQ/AW ended? Is a war on right now? I’m not sure my alliance is sitting this season out. But I digress, your action to remove it before AQ ends can directly impact a large amount of people. People who gift potions to players to finish lanes and or kill bosses. Can we get an answer to that? To me it was underhanded. By maybe there is more behind the timing.
2) Some of us used the GB to gift our alts different items. Some people have bought this badge across multiple toons to assist with potions for LoL runs. I have 2 accounts that I could have made use of for gifts to help progress my game. They don’t have the badge but I was thinking about it as they each now have quite a substantial amount of units built up from events and quests. This stops that. When you reenable this will it impact lower level alts?
3) The purchase of the GB should be valued at the unit pack it came with. Many of us simply bought this pack for one reason only. But you guys valued it at less than 50%. If you can sit there and honestly say that people bought the unit pack for the units and not the badge then I can see the justification of this low unit replacement. But if you think even the slightest that maybe just maybe more than not people bought it for the ability to gift then we need the full value. And saying the GB had no value and was an add-on is a cop-out. If it has no value it would have been purchasable with units at will. But you all made a metric ton of mo wh off this purchase simply because of that badge.
3 small points. I believe you are being as transparent as you can be and know you have a fine line to walk, but maybe you can answer those questions.
Far as I can tell this only effects what happens from here on out. This means that if kabaam reamburses people there money/units ect. These people demanding reembursment are eccentially doubling there money/units because they already reaped the benefits of past gifting. In my mind these people are conartists and are probably part of the original problem in first place... PS I do not care about my spelling or Grammer this is a thought post not a college paper.....
TOS and the Legalese are like an elite club. in order to understand it you need a specialized or advanced education that not everyone has the time or circumstances to prioritize or strive for. it is unrealistic to expect more people to read it, and it is an appeal to the better angels of our nature to want to assume that we are not going to get screwed over for not reading it. i am tempted toward nihilism all the time, but i still don't want to assume i will be screwed over for not reading the TOS.
in my eyes, claims like this just normalize bad behavior. we shouldn't have to assume we'll get screwed over all the time.
society makes cynics of us all, but it should't be that way.
it's a sick sad world i know, but i don't want to be reminded while i'm vacationing in my little mobile game.
They could give the badge away for free to any player whose first name begins with a K: that doesn't mean the cost of the badge is the cost of a legal name change in your state, just because that's the only way to get it.
The only thing I feel will be owed is access to the Badge again for those who already paid for it. Provided Gifting returns. I understand, as do most, that there's many who wouldn't have purchased the unit package without the badge. That doesn't detour from the fact you chose to buy the units and got the badge for free. Not the other way around. You can scream and holler rip off all you want, the fact is, they delivered and some nasty people exploited the system in a VERY nefarious manner. As a result, something had to be done.
@Kabam Miike is there any chance you could clarify whether this will be permanent? Is there currently plans to attempt to bring Gifting back as a permanent feature? I know it said the Gifting events will currently be the only time we can for now. Is that to imply there will be an attempt to bring it back? Or is it looking bleak? Personally, this is all I'm concerned with. Yes, it would be nice to get another bone throw our way in the meantime either way. Many would agree that if there's no plans to bring it back, then the would be compensation is a little underwhelming. If it is coming back (or at least an attempt at this point), those that purchased it shouldn't be required to buy it again. If that's the case, 300 units is all good in my book for now. Best of luck with this one. Clearly people aren't happy, and it is understandable. Just the same people, try to bare in mind others got it worse as a result of this feature. Wouldn't it be better to have them disable and fix vs just letting people continue to exploit it?
300 units is nothing compared with the money I paid.
I kinda feel for Mike too though bc whenever they have to deal with this kind of backlash you rarely see anyone but him respond to anything lol it’s almost like...they don’t care(who knew? Lol) and just want him to deal with it while they do, well, nothing lol
