So, having missed out on the keys. I assume if they are not taken away from everyone then I can expect them in my in game mail? Because otherwise that’s once again unfair treatment by the game devs. Going back to the original GAP where people got literal thousands of verses before it was nerfed day 1.
I REALLY don’t understand why, once something like this is done, they fix it so half of the people can’t benefit. It really just shows the absolute contempt they have for the player base. And of course, yet again, a bug in players favour fixed instantly. Coincidence of course. There’s been bugs that negatively affected players that were fixed instantly too right…right?
my main acct and several guildies got the keys; second acct reached the goal at reset+10 hours and got the pet, a guildie got the shiny keys in the half hour before
Devs just announced on another post they are taking the keys (and dust) away from all players. We all get a copy of the pet instead.
A glitch is: repeatedly exploiting a flaw to bypass the store or something like that!
This is a reward that you legally collected at the end of your event! It would have been a glitch if it had been possible to do it multiple times.
I repeat, this is a dev mistake, not a player mistake!
As a reminder: When the Constructs bug came out, which you could get with Gold Keys, even though you can’t get them with these Keys, a lot of players took advantage of this flaw, and they were banned?? NO!

Just to be clear. You expect that the current dev team will flawlessly execute a script where only the people who collected the keys will have the keys taken back, plus anything that was spent, and in the case of dust, respent, will be flawlessly rolled back to how it was, with zero mistakes?
If so , am possession of a bridge in downtown New York I am looking to offload, would you be interested in purchasing?

Thank you Rojo ! I used this example with players in my guild. We know the past and also the basic rules for any video game, but with this points it’s the same their are hiding behind the fact it’s not gems in this case.
I remember when we won the first time Guild War with Esprit du Temps we won double reward (3000 gems), I said stop keep 3000 gems on your account I’ll ask the dev, lucky us the devs said to keep them.
They can be kind too, I hope, really, a reroll for everyone used or not keys because it’s very difficult to found players and some guild could have the Haeven Gate future… but I would like a ban to say : I told you 
So I am a hyocrit for playing the game as normal, collecting a reward and thinking that something they sell in game for 16k dollars of real money might be a bug and if people use this reward might get them banned. What should we title you for advocating just let everybody cheat cheat cheatcand to hell with the consequences? Wow, just wow you are so angry, can i offer you a hug?

There is going be a rollback.
Rollback? They can’t rollback the whole game, or players who didn’t get the keys or didn’t spend them.
Imagine the people anger from players that found a Sentinel, or spent 6 hours in PvP or the raid event or everyone losing the days holiday event sigils
Whatever they do, it shouldn’t have taken an entire working day to decide and announce…

Rollback with the Shiny key in target not the whole game.
They did before but I don’t remember for what.
How can they make a difference between shiny tokens gotten from regular keys and from the 13k keys. Rolling back will not be possible without collateral damage

To exploit a bug, you first have to be sure it’s a bug.
There may also be players here who used these keys in good faith.
Additionally, not everyone has been playing here for years.
How is everyone supposed to know what a bug is?

Let’s be real here. The game hands out 7 “free” shiny keys each week, for completing all reward tiers in the guild event. There’s someone who really believed 13397 shiny keys dropped right on your doorstep was the devs being somewhat generous? Good news for them, I’ve got the Mona Lisa for sale, for a low $99.99. Buy 3, pay for 2, and I’ll even throw in a priceless life lesson.

Of course, there are also people who always and everywhere only see and suspect evil or evil intentions! 
For example, my first thought was that the shiny keys thing wasn’t going anywhere with players, and now the devs are throwing out tons of shiny keys and then shutting down the “Shiny” project!
Would that be impossible?

Why does everything always have to happen consciously and with malicious intent?
I didn’t even realize there’s so many shinny keys. Started to use them, than after a while I had noticed that something is wrong then I’d stopped.
I agree that they can rollback the shiny upgrades made to troops with the extra keys, but they have no right to put bans to people or blame players for the devs mistake.

I can absolutely guarantee nobody called you a “hyocrit” except yourself.
It is hypocritical, though, to say that getting something makes the game pointless and then say that you getting it had no effect because it was too weak to affect the game. Those two things are at odds with each other.
I never said that. I did say that if you take something you shouldn’t try to block others from doing the same afterwards and that if something doesn’t affect you, then you shouldn’t feel a need to attack others about it.
Hilarious(!) I saw the reply you posted that you either deleted or it got flagged and removed. I’m not the angry one. Feels like you need that hug and I hope someone gives you one, if it’ll help.
Bleh, I knew I should have pushed harder for it, just in case, lol!
Guild wars weekly reward. I remember my guild got the first place 500 gems rewards. You could claim the mail, with the prize infinity times. They banned and made a rollback.
