Exactly. I would think having to fix the data post rollback, would cause way more issues and cost more time, than just reverting the erroneous resource push.
This is beyond ridiculous. Rolling back my efforts for today and preventing me from completing daily objectives. This is possibly the worst one yet. A better company would just take their lumps on this error.
You canāt fix issues that people spend years complaining about, but as soon as itās something the company doesnāt want, just shut the whole thing down and disrupt everyone
Worst customer service experience. Typical.

Soooā¦ since all the devs have gone home for the weekend already, should we just assume that the servers will be down until Monday morning? 
I certainly donāt like my chances that Iāll be able to get my dailies done before daily resetā¦

At this point I just want my money back that I spent on this game for 10 years now. Including all the new consoles and controllers and stuff I bought over the years just to play Gems of War. Might be a few 1000 bucks by now ā¦

They gave over 100,000+ gems to some players and some of those players started spending them right away into chests making it even harder to unwind all the unnatural spent resources.
Hopefully most people are sensible to realize thatās just something they canāt let people keep from no effort..

Had to write this.
A vault weekend, 3 hours play each day, gets me 150 verses . Mixed obviously.
Thats 40 gaps, equates to approx 800 vks and 80 evks , on average i get 5 or 6 of the 900 gem keys. So thats 6k per vault weekend.
10 months equals 60k gems. So 9 hours a weekend once a month.
Am i really the only one, that thinks 100k gems. Isnt a big deal.
I actually think , that doing 1000 pvp in 1 day, is more hard work, than chilling over 10 weekends over 10 months.
They should of took the hit, instead of destroying the work of a whole playerbase.
Im sorry but 100k isnt a big deal. And i only got 12k. And im not bothered about guildies getting 300k. Maybe its a maturity thing.

been 4.5 hours since i know thy cut the game off.
2 hours till reset.
i suppose i should be happy the only thing i had done at the time was underspire, because missing all my daily stuff, esp the gold marks, is really gonna ps me off, but having done that and then finding out it didnāt count would have been even worse.
figure i need 30 minutes min to do everything for one day, so they are running out of time

it is for them if they make a lot of money on gem purchases.
this is a for profit game. iām f2p, lots of others are, so giving away what would be millions of dollars of gems if they had been purchased is not something they can ignore.
also, your stats areā¦ elitist. almost nobody is getting 150 verses a gnome weekend. youāre among the elite. iām sure weāre all universally poed about the monumental screw up, it might drive a lot of $$ spenders away and collapse the entire game. but I donāt think they could have let that much potential cash go.

So people that dont buy, dont buy. Cant change that.
People that do buy got extra tiday, that would of eventually ran out. And they would of bought again.
So instead, there taking all work done today, off the buyers.
Il use common sense and think, therell now be a hell of a lot less buys across 4 platforms. Than there would of been. If they left the rollback undone.
2 or 3 months, excess gems would be gone , and buyers would buy.
Its small minded, to annoy every buyer.
Im a buyer. Got 13k gems tiday. If a pet pops up, i buy to mythic. Its about 3k gems.
4 pets, my gems would of been gone.
And id buy again.
If they take away my work, they can whistle for my money.

As far as I can tell, having more gems leads to more buys, more playtime and more longevity for the game. Aka more happiness and success for both sides. It would have been the best way to secure another decade of people wanting to play and support this game since they finally could take a big step into reaching end game status.
On the other hand. Taking away what players rightfully earned, being totally unrelated to bugged rewards, usually has the opposite effect. And once the most loyal players are gone, theyāre GONE FOREVER.

Stimulus packages puts money into the economy hence āStimulusā. The Developers havenāt any business sence a down game canāt generate revenue.

as far as you can tell. maybe youāre right. but what is the value of 50k gems when purchased? from THEIR eyes, thatās the amount of real cash they just lost
even if you werenāt going to buy a BMW, if the company gave you a BMW, thatās money they lost.
i think the prices are vastly overpriced in this game. i also donāt know what % of income they get in gem sales. but iām a consumer of their product, and from their business end they have different priorities.
yāall may be right, the ppl leaving the game from lost time might be worth more than the actual gems sales they would have gotten. but i donāt know their sales, so i can understand them wanting to reverse that.
otoh, itās now been upward of 6 hours and i am jonesing for daily play.
i wonāt even be able to waste time chatting if the game comes back up.
Not to mention itās still got PvP in the gameā¦

Iām a bit afraid to express my opinion, but I have to say that it was obvious from the very beginning that these gems wouldnāt be allowed to stay. Even 10k, 20k is a lot, dependng on playstyle: dozens of people in our guild family have less gems accumulated, even though they have been playing GoW for several years. At the very moment of getting that mail wise players started to warn others, predict that these gems would be removed, and so on. I donāt uderstand so much rage towards the devs. There was a mistake, the mistake had to be corrected.
Hence, I totally support the devsā decision, although I am unhappy with (possible) progression and (rightfully gained) resources lost.
Upd: The method was not perfect, but I guess there simply wasnāt a good way to solve this issue. I suppose, the choice was between a bad variant and a very bad variant.

Its not the gems mate.
Its all the work, money spent, sigils used, gold marks accumsleted. 6th dragon egg gotten.
Everything done, by every player. Since the msil dropped. Is getting deleted.
You agree with that really.

You are 1000% correct. Not that I agree this is the best method to solve the issue, but I donāt have a better solution, soā¦.

Iām not mad at the devs for taking away rewards sent out by mistake.
I AM mad at them for the abysmal communication.
I AM mad at them for blocking us off the game for 6 hours, costing us tributes and play.
I AM mad at them for (possibly) undoing hours of work.
I AM mad at them for the fact this is yet another badly tested addition to the game, which has resulted in a colossal fustercluck theyāre trying to undo, instead of them taking more care not to F the game up in the first place.
If all they did was lock the game for 10 minutes and remove currency gained wrongly, I wouldnāt be bothered. Disappointed, but oh well. But what is happening now is compounding this issue, and making players more and more fed up with the devs.
