Global Mail Exploit (Banpocalypse 🔥)

[Avianna]

I laughed so hard at your 700 gems and orb comment I nearly wet myself

[UKresistance]

Sirrian said near the top they banned those that exploited it 100 times or over AND spent that ~1000 gems +

People are welcome to click a few extra times on these bugs, and five times is a safe number. More than that you’re being naughty.

these guidelines should have been issued prior to the gem dumping event

I openly admit I opened my mail multiple times. So take back the extra mythics I pulled from VIP chests.

As far as PvP… If you play a lot of hours, it’s really not that hard to get your pts up there.

To reveal my whole response: [quote=“Avianna, post:160, topic:52949, full:true”]
and it doesn’t seem to matter how many times I say I wasn’t reading the darn mail…but thanks Maxx for beating the dead horse over and over again

Wait so the message is:

“We’re taking a strong stance and banning the people who obviously exploited an obvious bug. We’re also letting them plead their case to support and will unban some of them.”

No promises of unbanning. Just that they would consider on a case-by-case basis. The player who acquired and spent 70,000 gems is unlikely to have a sufficiently convincing argument. But that other player who claimed they didn’t even spend the gems they got, might be able to get their account back.

No, the message is:

“This has too large a scope to handle manually. We’ve issued automated bans based on the criteria listed above, if you believe a human being would decide differently please contact us.”

So you left the door of your house open and the dog went out and after that you blame the dog? Pfff

[Maxx]

I didn’t read the reply I just saw the thanks there.

[Juzam666]

Nah.
You’re banned.
You’re aware of what you did.
Go play another game.

Oh, says it your first post. Welcome to the forums.

5 people rob a bank
3 of them spend a part and they take off the stolen and go to jail
the other 2 do not spend anything, they take away the stolen goods and go home
seriously?
or all expelled or the gems are taken away from all
there can not be 2 different sentences for the same offense

[Oicu8129]

I don’t see a convincing argument for banning anyone.

[Just_Crazy]

That’s fine! Have a nice life

[Juzam666]

I love all these analogies.
Here’s the thing, you’re aware what you did. End of story.

You got caught.
Accept the consequences.
Move on with your life.

It’s not a $100 bill on the sidewalk.
You’re not a dog.
It’s not a atm.

We’re well aware of what we do here. If someone exploited this, they made the decision to do so. It’s a direct slap in the face of the devs. I’m not a white knight for this game at all, but, Jesus. How can you defend these actions.

If you hit the button a a extra time or so and stopped because you were aware this isn’t what supposed to happen, okay. I get that. We all smash through the mail to get to the game.
But, 10, 20, 100, 700 times. Get lost.

They didn’t rob a bank. They all received money they were very obviously not supposed to receive, due to a handling mistake. Those who returned the money after being contacted by the owner didn’t commit any offense. Those who went on a spending spree now owe the owner money, and unless they negotiate terms for repaying that money they may have to file bankruptcy. Common legal practice.

From the video uploaded to the network, I have long known about the bugs with the lower level of the enemy. I know that this exploit and I do not use it. With the mail, it was understood that something was wrong not immediately, but when it came, after rechecking my guesses, it turned out that I had already gone far. I am not a thief, I am not a cracker, I don’t want to deceive anyone and do not pretend to top positions. Above described his situation. Global Mail Exploit (Banpocalypse 🔥) - #136 by Clition

@TheWinzor

If someone found a hundred dollars on the floor, should they be prosecuted for spending it?

In the UK, that’s called Theft by Finding and it’s a criminal offence.

@Rockwell

In the UK, that’s called Theft by Finding and it’s a criminal offence.

And as a former part of the Commonwealth, Australia’s legal system is probably closely modeled after the UK’s.

Edit: yes, this is a silly little derail. But it makes for a break from the higher-tension arguments happening around it.

Edit again: corrected for accuracy, I think?

[Oicu8129]

I wish people would quit making excuses for the developer’s if they done their job this stuff wouldn’t happen they have been working on a very simple game for years and it’s always broken they done a poor job got burned for it now their angry don’t have the skill to do a proper fix so this their response ban everyone

[OMFGorgeous]

HEY. We’re still a part of the Commonwealth

Edit: being in the Commonwealth Games makes it so
