I chose to remove my response to you becasue I felt enjoying your tears was mean. [quote=“Zuul-Emo, post:14, topic:87679”]
What a massive hypocrite you sound like.
Wow, just wow.

Logics not your strength is it?
Exactly. You’re the one who was angry.
I called you a “hypocrite”, because you said something hypocritical. That’s not really logic, so much as pointing out that something is true, but I stand by it, because it was a fact. No idea why you’re quoting it and accusing it of faulty logic, though.
Anyway, I’ll leave you with your hypocrisy and move on now. Keys have been removed, issue is over and done with.
You are all over the place, pick a lane and stay in it.
Technically yes, because you set the bar too low. That’s on you.
From the older incident:
A statement which is both very reasonable, and also occasionally very dangerous. The way I personally see it – first, factors which weigh for a ban include:
- Is the bug repeatable, and what does that say about people triggering it multiple times?
- Is the bug difficult to trigger “by accident”, and what does that say about people triggering it at all?
- What, precisely, is the advantage gained by exploiting the bug?
Of course, invert the above points to get factors that weigh against a ban:
- Bugs that can only happen once
- Bugs that happen so readily it’s more difficult to avoid accidentally triggering them
For this case specifically I agree. Whenever one of these weekly quotas pops up, any time you “Collect Rewards” it collects all of the rewards up to your reward level – it is not possible to collect certain rewards and ignore others. This means that everyone who completed all tiers early (whether or not they scouted out the reward ladder) and collected ANY rewards at all was unable to avoid being issued 13k Shiny Keys.
Two words: server logs.
Ideally (which we can’t confirm), the logs are extensive enough to record every specific drop from every chest opened by every player, which means a targeted query of the server logs should be able to reveal who was issued 13k in Shiny Keys and who subsequently spent them. Once they know what the drops were, they can issue the equivalent reverts on the database. (Which may sound familiar to anyone with git experience.)

Sorry I honestly challenge you to show me an example of a previous bug that wasn’t in the players favour that was fixed in under 10 hours from reset (which is well after hours and indeed over night for the most part in Australia). Most of the times when there’s a bug with like a new troop on an event we just suck it up until event completion, either after the weekend or in some previous cases the entire week.

And further, as far as your logical approach to how to revert things go, that would work in a company that could code. This lot can’t even manage to get spell check correct after 10 years. I have little hope. My best guess is that anyone who spent any shiny keys at all will have those reverted and then as those ppl must “obviously” be the ones who got extra their accounts will be debited by the 13k keys. Betting ppl who just happened to have spent legit keys will get swept into it and end up with negative keys.
Betting also that they can’t track the benefits of those keys, let alone the dust gained and then re-used.
I 100% imagine it to be absolute chaos like most “fixes”
Happy to be wrong, but jaded enough to know I sm likely close if not bang on.

I have a question. Did you all take away 100% of the keys or did you give everyone that finished it 4 keys if they did not use any? If 100% are those who finished the event going to get a Bee pet mailed to them?
Yeah, that was pretty obviously jaded. I can be cynical too, but this is not one of those times. (I actually didn’t even know about the bug until it was already resolved, as I work morning shifts so the only thing I did before leaving for work was collect one hourly income.)
