What's your response to the 72 Hour Ban?

The only thing that might bring me back is a MASSIVE and PROFUSE apology from TP, perhaps including firing whatever idiot thought this was a good idea. I don't want anything to do with a company that is this morally bankrupt and/or inept, and I won't be giving them another minute of time or another penny unless they make this right quickly.

I'd already stopped spending money around VIP9.

But unless they make this right, I'm gone.

Meant to vote for 'uninstalling'. Damn.
Only if WRG make this right will I reconsider and even then I'm done spending money . .

can you sort your name out rather than being guest75billion or whatever it is?

A lot depends on what they do next. I'm leaning toward taking up a new hobby, though.

This isn't sour grapes. The game has always been a questionable time vortex (and money vortex to some extent) to me. It would be difficult to continue making excuses when the proprietor treats me in this way.

This is insane. People pushing a button shouldnt be punished. How would your average Joe know not to hit the buy button. I didn't get wrapped up into it but they lost me as a customer after Independence day pack mess up and I didn't comeback for 18 months. It's losing a customer base when it's not like someone hacked the system, it's the same as hitting buy again in a credit pull. I accidentally push buttons all the time and use to have to ask to get crew restored before the cool down area.

I stopped spending on this game when the developers became much greedier and penny-pinching. Like the last Elusive Treasures, remember that? 3x single pulls for $9.99? Wanting us to stop hoarding? Or making Quantum recharge so slow in hopes we'll spend dilithium (our money) to speed it up?

So yeah, no more Premium Campaigns or Dilithium Daily Cards from this guy.

But THEN you penalize your own players for your own incompetence. There was no penalty with the Honor "Christmas Miracle" or when daily rewards double for some reason every blue moon.

This will not stand. But I will stand, in solidarity with my fleetmates and friends. Do better, @Shan @WRG Ben. Make it right.

I ceased playing Timelines about a year ago (I play Fleet Command now), but Ive kept up on the forums. This was was my first mobile game, and its a shame to see it go this way.

TP do better!! ~Colli~ (PoF)

I am also waiting to hear their response before I make any rash decisions 🖖

I was at work during the time so missed it but it seems like A) people are overblowing it - a 3 days ban is such a minor inconvenience and B- What constitutes an exploit and what is a 'feature' is hard to tell. Remember when they gave everyone a Survivalist Kirk because some people that shouldn't have received it, got it?

I would be playing, 'cause I'm not directly affected by this (to my knowledge), but in solidarity with those who have, and also because I can't trust them with money after this, I won't be spending anything on this game. I'll probably won't even watch ads. This is, until an apology statement is made.

I quit this game from mid 2019 to late 2020, not sure why I came back, but I won't have any problems quitting again if I must.

72 hours might be just enough time for some players to find anther game and place to spend money....just sayin....

This is a day that will live in infamy. Remember Pearl Harbor? Do you remember how that blew up in their faces? TP owes everyone a huge apology and there must be a reckoning. Just sayin.

definitely enough time to request refunds for every single penny I've ever spent on the game

I don’t really care TBH. I didn’t exploit it, and I don’t have an issue with consequences for those who did. The scale of those consequences is a bit much - simply clawing back the items might have been the simpler solution - but I am mildly amused at the abrupt change in reaction from those who were previously gloating about how many packs they managed to get.

A 72 hour ban for doing absolutely nothing wrong is not a minor inconvenience. It also punishes everyone else in their fleet's, it's in the middle of a faction event so squad mates are missing out on points, and the whole fleet is going to miss out on ISM due to these new wrongheaded rewards.

They're punishing absolutely everybody for their own mistake.

Completely unacceptable.

@Calhoun I, for one, didn't benefit from the "exploit." Completely missed out. But I still see this as unfair.

IMO, this is still uncalled for and counter to how the game has been run in the past. Take the goodies back, sure. But 72 hour ban? Seriously? WTF.

This is too much. I dropped out. Almost five years and a ton of time and money gone. Never doing business with this company again.

The developers don’t care about what you think - but they do care about money. If you spend any on here recently, then request a refund.

Even if the next campaign is Dark Empath Troi..... no money from me for a looooong time 🖖

I've tried changing it multiple times to JC Ravel, but for some reason, it doesn't transfer here. I wish I could figure out why, but so far no luck.

Received my refund for this month's monthly card. Haven't heard back about the hundreds of pounds of other refunds I've requested now that the company have violated our contract and the purchases are worthless as I will not be opening the game again.

It's not "just" because it's a three-day ban. It's a three-day ban as punishment for a mistake that TP made. That is an egregious violation of basic morality.

That’s not how refunds work, and is a ludicrous reaction. You cannot seriously expect to get all your money back after you stop playing a game.

When the other party (TP) are in breach of contact (their own TOS) then it seems like a reasonable request. But not one that they're likely to honour any time soon.

They've locked me out of a game I have spent a large amount of money to progress in, due to their error, and I have not violated any terms. I do not have access to what they were supposed to provide on their side of the contract we made every time I made a purchase.

For three days. After that, you have it all back. It’s purely your choice not to return.

OK mate I'll sell you a car but I'll come and take it away for 3 days then you can have it back.

100% agree. If I don’t get an apology and find that any of my items are gone, I’m out.
