The game message

Am I the only one who finds it insulting, that they sent a game message, which makes it sound like we are the thick or dense ones, for not understanding how they had originally intended skirmishes to run. Even thou they changed the original text that was sent out when skirmishes were released, after the fact to cover their own bums. Not to mention they had it apparently wrong for the entire last skirmish without so much of as a peep? do they really think we are that blind. Then they are going to act like they are doing us a favor by allowing the yelgrun and Goran to continue to give bonues, regardless of traits, but not the main reoccurring mega officer.
If they plan to officially change the next skirmish to be completely trait dependent, without also updating or fixing the crew sorting for said event, dont bother ;p

Things will not change until there is a material impact to their bottom line. Luckily I’ve only been playing a few months (but have spent close to $1,000) so I’m not as deep as many of you. But you can’t let them hold you hostage here. This company is very clearly not a “customer first” organization and they will not get another penny from me. If you want to see some real change, many of you need to either leave the game or stop spending.
Good luck, everyone. It was fun for me while it lasted.
So far I have had two $50 offers refunded. The first was automatic the second required an Apple employee to review the case. I couldn’t submit a third refund request until the second one was resolved. In the “reason” section I typed a short and concise summary and noted that I have already asked DB for monetary refunds (I did yesterday morning) and they have been unresponsive.
I believe Apple doesn’t pay their developers from the App Store until 90 days after the transaction just for things like this. This is the first time I’ve ever requested a refund from Apple but it’s been very easy and no hassle to far. Only a few $50 transactions left to reverse and I can move on to the smaller ones.
You are correct and the developer never knows who got a refund. So DB knows you made a purchase but they never know if you get refunded for that purchase. Apple just pays the developer a lump sum amount with no account details on receipts or refunds. So there is no need to worry about getting your account banned or having anything taken away if you get a refund. That said, if you abuse it, Apple will stop giving you refunds no matter how legitimate the reason may be, so don't ask for a refund unless there truly is an issue and you've exhausted all options from customer service with the developer.

This isn't the Yar thing.
This is the Event crew aren't always bonus in skirmishes thing.
Even folks who saw, it knew it would get nerfed, and didn't chase it are frustrated by shoddy game management.
Edit:
The whole Yar thing hasn't effected me because I was too busy to participate in that event to get one, but the way that whole thing went down was darn well shady too.
Why upset about editing the blog? It was actually announced on these forums that the blog was updated. It's not shady/dishonest to openly state you've edited a blog entry to be more clear.
Don't get me wrong, I much prefer the simpler event crew mechanic as it is, and I am very fearful they'll implement the changes without the ability to save the crew selections for each battle. that would make this event type a nightmare, when it's currently my favorite for the big benefits and that it does not slow down game/crew development at all.
Exactly, I did not even mention Yar, thou the way they handled that situation, whether you were affected for not, was shady at best.
What was shady was that it wasn't announced when he linked us back to read it.
It was announced after people had found Google's webcache of the site in its pre-edit state, and multiple people had posted highlighted screenshots of comparisons on the forums. They said they changed it only because at that point, we had already proven it conclusively.
I can see people not thinking it was shady if they weren't following the events as they unfolded or haven't read back through all the threads in their entirety. If someone has done that and still thinks it's not shady, more power to ya. It is in MY OPINION that it was WWWAAAAAYYYYYY shady.
