So I go to the HG after hearing that B-bracelets are dropping on every 3 Galoks. We farm for a few hours, getting what we think is a bounty of legitimate loot.
We hear about the maintenance, and that items will be seized that were inappropriate. Servers come back up, still have my items, so we think “ok, this must be legit now” and my farming partners gives me some wiz bracelets because I didnt get any due to the random loot distro system.
System goes down again after you guys said you royally f’ed this up and need to lock 1700 accounts (LOL).
And now we read that he will likely be banned because he gave me an item AFTER THE FIRST SEIZURE PERIOD, with little to no communication on this.
You understand how this will make me leave your game right? I’ll get my money back from you guys or steam or my bank, but it’s just disappointing because the game was gaining a lot of steam after the combat overhaul. It felt fun and full again.
Now I risk a ban because you boggled one of the most common components of the game, didnt test the fix and are scrambling for an answer? How do you think you can operate a game like this with such arbitrarily harsh and selective punishment? In the same way you need to do in-game announcements for server downtime, something should have been said in game. I don’t immediately go to the forums the second items drop from a monster. That doesnt feel like an exploit to me when I load up the game normally and kill monsters normally.
But hey, it’s your game. If you want to encourage me to play other games, by all means, strike the might ban hammer onto everyone who did A PERSONAL TRADE in the last 48 hours… smart.
