    I find it absolutely fascinating that so far there has been not one chirp out of them.
    If they have decided that they are holding the line and that this is their hill, then just say “Nope, everything stands as is.”
    It is in their own best interests to rip the bandaid now, get it over with and roll with the fallout.
    If they are desperately trying to figure out a way to remediate the situation then say, “Folks, we are considering our options, give us time.”
    That would probably ease some tension.

    And yet, they let us eat... staaaatic.

    FWIW (and I can't believe I'm actually defending them), I would imagine the people making these decisions do a 9 to 5 type schedule. So they probably only started pouring over and discussing the reaction less than an hour ago. You would think this would warrant a quicker response considering the furor but...TP gonna TP.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. I believe they made their decision. They called the bug an exploit and decided crack down on the abusive players for once and stand by it.

    Except the ban was put in place inconsistently. People who claimed a couple extra times are reporting being banned, people who claimed lots are reporting not being banned. It seems like the intention was "anything over 20 pulls" because 19 is the magic number. But how did that 19 get arrived to? The pack wasn't supposed to be originally available that long (or please correct me if I'm mis-remembering - I thought it was only like 15 days total). If "19 pulls" was the number that was randomly decided to be approved, why not 20, or 30? What's the logic between the random "19" number? How can you sit in the conference room and come to a determination that "this many presses of the button we mis-coded is fine, but this many is not".

    I think it's 19 because it's 19 days from 11th to 28th of Feb (on these days it will be online).
  • Please enjoy these 250 Chronitons, 3 Constellations and copy of Punk Rocker as a token of goodwill. In addition, you will find that each Event phase has been extended 24 hours to give players the opportunity to reach the appropriate tiered rewards after their absence. Those returning to play will find the 19 Packs available for them to claim as we originally intended.

    Love,

    The sheepish folks behind the code
    They removed all isp and polestars I had before event. And I still will be far behind in event. This wouldn't be enough. My voyage would make at least twice chrons.

    I think that’s the thing that chaps my **tsk tsk** the most. It felt so petty and vulgar.
  • Let me start by saying I'm banned, so you can take this with whatever grains of salt you feel necessary. However, I also work in Marketing and social media / community management, and this could still be an easy fix:

    Hello, Captains!

    During a recent update, we introduced to the game some unintended functionality. While some players were able to take advantage of our error in the short span of time in which it was available, we were able to get it corrected in short order. Those taking advantage had the additional materials removed from their inventory to level the playing field to where it should have been for this exciting new feature of play.

    However, perhaps it was pandemic stress or perhaps we were still in character as Q himself, but we made a choice that impacted many players in our beloved community, some unintentionally as a ripple effect. We recognize now that this action amounted to choosing the wrong Timeline and removing a great deal of love from our community, and for that we sincerely apologize.

    Please enjoy these 250 Chronitons, 3 Constellations and copy of Punk Rocker as a token of goodwill.

    This is so perfect! (Maybe except the Punk Rocker, why would we want a 3rd copy?)

    You know, I don't need the punk rocker, but this response would be a great start for me! Replace the punk with a legendary citation, and I'd be perfectly happy with this.
