6 hours later, and the game is still down?
The tribute I’m losing, alone, is climbing above 200 Gems, etc.

I’m a bit afraid to express my opinion, but I have to say that it was obvious from the very beginning that these gems wouldn’t 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 don’t uderstand so much rage towards the devs. There was a mistake, the mistake had to be corrected.
Hence, I totally support the devs’ decision, although I am unhappy with (possible) progression and (rightfully gained) resources lost.
Upd: The method was not perfect, but I guess there simply wasn’t 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 don’t have a better solution, so….

I’m 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 they’re 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 wouldn’t 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.

As adults. If we make a mistake. We fix it.
We do all we can, to fix our mistake, without effecting innocent people.
So , hire oncall devs, go through every account, fix it manually.
I dont care or wanna hear, about there profit margins, your a customer msking excuse, for a company sht77ing on you.
Its there error they fix it.
Its like coke making everyone ill, and jnstead of paying for cures, just killing the ill people lol.
Some people on here, would apologise, for the driver, as he ran you down.

Money, that hasn’t been earned yet, is still fictional. Even though it’s common to calculate with expected income, it’s still not a real loss if things go sideways. Especially with home made prices for a virtual product.
On the other hand. Customers that have been loyal for a decade and already paid with money and time. That’s a real win (or loss, if they step away).
Many companies and even economies thrive on “fictional, virtual money”. But as someone that got a major business degree and worked in companies that actually earned money, I might be old school in mind. And therefore value loyalty and effort of paying customers more than expectations of shareholders or greedy companies …

I’d be willing to bet they are now intentionally holding off until AFTER reset so that they can just wipe the entire day and not have to deal with even more issues of some being able to do today’s dailies and others not….Just my opinion
I agree with this perspective.
Maybe they will come up with some REAL compensation, not the notoriuosly famous 50 gems.

The company that makes the gun. 505
The shooter of the gun. The dev
The person shot. Us.
Some people, blaming the victim, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time on here.
The worlds got a lot of messed up people.

Again. I’m not complaining about taking back what was not meant to be given. Remove those gems, souls, whatever. No problem with that. But on the other hand value our time, money and effort the same way. There’s (probably and estimated less than) 10K players left on all platforms. Some of them contributing, paying and playing a lot. Why would anyone want to upset them so much that they stop financing your income? Because that’s what is happening right now. By making one mistake after the other and not owning them, instead punishing the player base over and over again, some company I won’t name here, burns money faster than a level 3000 player with all stats and troops can one-shot a level 12 battle in explore.

A small periodic ping with a ballpark ETA/developments (if any) would have gone a long way: as it stands, the silence is having the predictable same effect it used to have with the old ‘mods’, who had a documented appalling communication track record.

Iv noticed a lot of unhappy comments.
From people , that havnt posted on here. In years.
Tells you exactly, there decision is wrong. To effect everyone.
All this complaining, but what’s the solution? Everyone is whining about this, that, and the other, but no REAL way of solving the issue. They are rolling back the clock to “solve" (in their way) the issue….what’s the alternative? And going through EVERY individual account to see every move was probably never a viable option

I think the only solution is to never bring the game back online.
I kind of think that would be hilarious.

Its a good job were customers.
And not employed. So we dont have to think of how they fix it.
Thats there job. Without hurting innocents.
Collateral damage. Isnt acceptable. To normal good people.
Right, but YOU keep running your mouth how they’re so wrong…..this is what they believe is the solution…right, wrong, or indifferent, it’s better than whining relentlessly
Maybe you could learn the coding and help them out.
Amyway this is funny.
Only 50 of us know, all todays work is getting deleted.
Cant wait, till the whole playerbase finds out
Boom boom boom.
Couple of thousand tickets incoming, for lost stuff. Theyll be employing devs then. Haha.
