SilverRose! Are you gone? This is a sad day if yes.
Yeah, I quit a few months ago and came back to poke around at the new feature. But... hey, I'm glad I got to witness the heat death of the game. What a time to poke your head back in!
Sorry, friend. They won't refund you if you spent $20k. From what I understand, they will do a lifetime refund if it's under a certain threshold which you (and I) are far passed. That's why I went ahead and quit with 50k dil, 594k honor, 83 legendary citations, and over 500 premium packs sitting unclaimed. It's all a bunch of worthless **tsk tsk**.
DAH!!!! And they say the rich get richer. FALSE! I’ll just burn the rest of this dilithium I have on Stranded Quark when I get back in, check the arena rewards for how many people now comprise the top 1%, then just staff voyages. Besides making event runs, voyages are really the only thing else I thoroughly enjoy
Not banned, very mad.... but another point of confusion to note.
May i also point out.....today 2/12
The pack in the portal says “claim” limit 19.
Once you punch it, the inner pack has the “buy again” button still there. So am i buying something? Why doesn't it say claim again. And obviously i have punched the initial claim button to collect and see but don't want to click the buy button so i back out to the claim button and ??? Why does it still say 19? Am i to assume i should know and count how many times i have punched the claim button?? Because honestly i did not count. Will it still show “claim” or “buy again” after 19 punches? Then i get banned for not counting? When i assumed the pack would show how many were left as packs usually do? So really the pack is still not right.
The pack has an invisible counter (which was not working properly in my case and gave me too few packs) and will automatically disappear when you hit the limit.

Not banned, but this game made me reconsider spending any money on or in the future in case i get banned because their bug allowed me to buy/use something i wasn't supposed to and they'll blame the player (me) instead of the developer who cocked up.
Not at all normal. TP/WRG arbitrarily abused my fleet family for a mistake entirely TP/WRG’s own.
Pulling back on my play until I choose otherwise. Likely transitioning from a regularly competitive player to a casual one running our training fleet with minimal supervision.
Spend will be even more selective or nonexistent.
TP/WRG’s grubbing management types finally cured me of my STT addiction. Great job people.
They accused me of cheating for pressing a big 'buy again' button which I have pressed many times during the past five years in this game. I have never stolen or cheated and I am hurt.
I still miss one of the 19 packs and the deducted 1000 ISM from my account. I do not dare to even open up the 16 constellations I have, just in case that could make it more difficult for CS to track down the bug that hit my account with the pack counter.
So of course I do not open the mail with the Qs as it would stop the regen while I could not retrieve anything useful.
Currently I am agonized about the feature, but that will pass as soon as CS has fixed my account. Also I wished I had not wasted 300 Q on the uncommon retrieval as this turned out to be unnecessary for the achievement. 6 days of Q out the chimney.
And then I see screenshots of Empath Troi and Sinister Picard (congrats btw @[SSR] Bri ) in one post and read @eXo | Ramza's comment on how 1000 Q have no impact in another thread, and I just feel exhausted.
It is just a game but oh well...

I missed one of the 19 too, but there was something extra in the mailbox that may have compensated. Cant be sure, I’d just woken up and was ripping through the packs at furious pace (dangerous technique considering what’s just transpired!!)

Everyone got what was in the mail. That was no user specific compensation.
/edit: I was not banned, just to make that clear. So I only got the one mail with the Data Q polestars and stuff in it.

Raised a ticket? I have. I itemized everything I lost (a day of dil from monthly card, campaign wasn’t affected, and perhaps ten shuttle tokens from my pointless kickstart). So perhaps we will get user specific compo, but it may take a while. I’m sure CS are looking at their computers like...

I have an open ticket since the 19 packs went live and were not counting properly in my case. And you certainly are right that CS must be swimming in complains of all sort.
But like I said, I feel exhausted over the whole case. Currently the new feature is, apart from scanning, nonexistent for me.
Let's wait and see.

This is quite a strange situation. Players have been drifting away for a while, others not meeting their dailes, clearly this debacle and how its been handled so far has been the final straw for some, both banned and unbanned.
Some fleet members have been banned, others have decided to stop playing for the same period, if they don't access LINE/Discord/ whatever else you use or try to log in then they won't know that the ban has been lifted.
Others have said that they're boycotting the event, really don't see how that helps if they have plenty of resources and weren't going to spend anyway, their choice of course, but makes absolutely no difference to TP on that score whilst hurting their fleet mates (not massively mind you), but still denying honor, chrons, this new stuff and squad/ fleet position (which may be only a mental relection of yourself and your squad/ fleetmates, but can make a bit of difference between feeling good or bad about yourself and your efforts.
I saw that one squad leader shared a completely useless card, better to pass squad leadership to someone that wants to play in the event rather than actively disrupt their game too surely?
Other than one fleet member that has clearly left the fleet I have no idea who is walking away completely, who is taking a few days out (and then may quit too), who is going to do dailies but not participate in the event and who is going to stop/ reduce spending for the immediate or longer future.
I do wonder if the event card was useful rather than absolute rubbish whether it would make a difference to some of these decisions. But everyone does whatever they feel they need to do at any given time.
Completely in limbo right now, biggest question is whether the game itself will survive this, no point chucking more money at something that might not last much longer if enough stop/ reduce spending.
Will also chuck in that this new feature has its uses but getting a new 1/5 every 3 weeks that you may or may not actually wan't/ need is not a great feature nor is it worth killing the game over.
I told Spookbunny he would get canceled for saying something non-liberal and of course I was absolutely correct. This world.....inclusion but only if you are in total compliance.

I am shocked that so many people did not realize they were profiting from a bug.
Because it was a button that said 'buy again' not 'bugged illegal - do not press' I've been playing for five years, have a ton of he various currencies and so didn't notice nothing was being deducted until a few clicks later.

So you did not read or knew that the limit was one each day and when you saw the "buy again" button you did not thought "hmm, this is a bug". Then you are lucky the "buy again" button did not remove huge resources from you or even real money. But then again, I think you would not have hit it many times

The limit was one of the free packs. I clicked on that once. The free pack opened and we were offered a button to buy again.
The limit of one was for the free pack.
There was no advertised limit on the buy again.
The free pack and the buy again were two different entities.
Didn't know about the exploit until I checked the forum just now. Man, what a PR/CustR circus. Everytime. Can this game roll out 1 new feature without any incident? I no longer keep my hope up after 2+ years of active playing.
Btw, why did I check the forum in the first place? Yup, I am here for the circus. With changes this big, you get the idea. Watching the game screw itself up over and over is hilarious.

I don't know how to make that any clearer.
I am sorry, but I don't understand how you can see this as two different entities.
You were still in the free pack when the button appears. When you click it, you are buying another free pack. How does a button changes his entity?

Because it said 'BUY again' not 'claim another FREE pack'. It took me five or so claims before noticing that none of the myriad currencies were reducing.

No apology. Just some mealy-mouthed announcement.
Freshly back from the ban. I‘m fine now. Just acquired the only two crew I was searching for via crew retrieval and it’s left some good vibes!
So of course I do not open the mail with the Qs as it would stop the regen while I could not retrieve anything useful.
Currently I am agonized about the feature, but that will pass as soon as CS has fixed my account. Also I wished I had not wasted 300 Q on the uncommon retrieval as this turned out to be unnecessary for the achievement. 6 days of Q out the chimney.
